Hello "Surviving MN"! I am an original Northdakotan - lived in MN for 4 years - and just moved back to ND with 65+ beef cows; 15 chickens; 5 barn cats; a dog, horse, and husband
The North Dakota board is a little slow; and I have been *DROOLING* over some hatchery magazines I just got and have a few questions for some peeps!
Whom has bantams? I had a pair (Serema/Banty cross) this summer - lost the hen to broodiness --- And unfortunately just lost my little roo --- to the cold. Soooooo. Anyone have any luck with cochin banties??? I am thinking of getting some but don't want to set myself up for some sadness if they are going to croak the first time the temps drop. I'm thinking the profusion of feathers would help them with the cold? Or whats some thoughts on that. I'm not opposed to doing a little special treatment - BUT - also leery of heat lamps etc as we do have a history of having extended (up to 5 days) power outages due to weather.
Also wondering about the hardiness of the Salmon Faverolle??
What are some of your guys' hardy - yet - "cool" breeds? Post some pics! Thanks for the help!
(Also - note - relatively 'new' to the chicken thing! Still learning and stalking BYC for info. But there's just soooo much!!! So feel free to point me to other forums etc etc)
My Cochin Bantam, who is a frizzle is my hardiest bantam. I'm keeping him just cause he's nice to use for showmanship in 4H, and he knows a few tricks.
When I had salmon faverolles they were very hardy. No problem whatsoever. Very grumpy birds though.
I am actually not really pleased with 1/2 of the breeds I have had so far. The Leghorns are a no for next year, along with red sex links, their combs and wattles grew a bunch and now I'm babying their combs and wattles. The Easter Eggers aren't bad but out of my 7 EEs I'm getting 1 egg a day with artificial lighting.
My 1 Chantecler, 2 Silver Laced Wyandottes, and 1 Barred Plymouth Rock lay almost every day right now.
Along with my LF Cochins.
Thanks!! That's super helpful, I'll keep that info in mind when I make my purchases - I have only Easter Egger/Americana mutts now and they are holding a strike ... something about "No Heat? No Eggs!", or at least I think that's what they wrote in the dust of the coop window haha.
When you say "grumpy"....?? Like they were flighty? Or pecked? Or what.

Thank you!I How far is a skip, hop and a jump?Good Morning Chickeners . . . .
Welcome to bigfoot11. ISanti is a skip, hop and jump from me and from Ralphie. Is that the still in the banana belt Ralphie?
Jerrsyse - I just turned 65! I highly recommend it. Many, many benefits and so far, the best time of my life! Not that there are any other best times . . . . I was
not expecting to be so happy to be this age.
Ahhhh yes, another suburbanite on the forums. I have creep'd for awhile and now decided to join in on the chaos!Ralphie, I thought for sure that "Bigfoot 11" was on of your Togo renters! But, alas he is another suburbanite. Is anyone other than me tired of seeing these AARP solicitations in the mail?
65? I always tell people that I think I look pretty darn good for a guy who is 98!! Ralphie is the only one of this group who could comment, and it is my wish that he keep his opinion to himself !!
The sun has finally come out and last I looked it was + 5 degrees. Please Gore and O'Bama bring back the global warming you pikers !! Better get the smudge pots ready Ralphie or the coconut crop may be damaged by frost?
