Here's a video of our rosecomb raising babies, but this time she's pairing up with the Silkie (first timer) and they're raising the chicks together. Our Rosie the rosecomb raised 2 chicks by stealing eggs last year and hatching them, she was a wicked mean broody but very good at caring for her babies. this time, too, she is a good momma and showing the silkie hen "how to".

I didn't get any pictures of him at the show but I cant get you an updated pic of him!

 

[Msbear]

I would love to see him. Im sorry I will have no way to show you pics of your trio... you'll have to trust me. I just moved and things are crazy and my cord (attaches to my PC) is MIA

I've looked EVERYWHERE and even ordered one on ebay only to find out the company was out of Japan .. .and that it would take 2-4 weeks!!! to get here.... so, I ordered another from Amazon ...over a week ago... starting to go a little crazy

Hahaha LOL!
How are they looking type wise! Hannah will be picking them up for me because I have to pick up my rabbits at the Gratz fair that sunday.

I will pick out some nicer ones for you. I do have some culls I am selling. (small defects in comb, etc.) but, you won't get any of those. I really can't say what they will turn out like. It really is a shot in the dark at this point. BUT, I haven't raised any birds here the past few years that haven't been super nice. Even the ones with the small defects have nice type. I think I've bred my way to some decent stock

Im really excited for the Blue Cockerel and two nice Black pullets!

Really don't know anything about rose combs at all but I guess I have 4 lol. A bought 4 Anconas this summer because they are supposed to be very alert and active.{ We lost 7 out of 11 of our last birds to hawks in 4 days} we free range daily so I was willing to give them a try and when I researched them I saw they were rosecoombs but I have no idea of the significance of that . They are turning out to be beautiful birds I have 1 roo and 3 hens. Any input would be appreciated
