Well.... he probably never going to sell hatching eggs
And never going to sell birds

And after 30 years there will be a documentary on how all the cocks were treated

 

[tripletfeb]

You're right. Bantam cochins are just naturally superior.

That bird looks like a feather duster. Just sayin

Got Marek's from a local exhibition breeder. He is NPIP. My entire flock died except Rona.

I spent hundreds on medications and supplements. Countless hours tube feeding, medicating, and nursing. Only to lose them or have them get to the point I had to put them down. My chickens were pets. It was heartbreaking. Even more so to watch my 5 year old daughter go through grief for the first time in her tiny life over losing her best friends. I refuse to go through it again. Patient Zero (Rona) will live out her life here with the ducks. Whenever she passes, I'll burn everything and crop dust with Vikron S. Then wait a few years and do it again. Then maybe I'll try starting over with chickens.

Ugh. I've fought through ALMOST everything in the book this year (not Marek's, thank the chicken gods), and I haven't shown or brought in any live birds since February.

I'm trying to purchase my grandparent's old farm outside of Birmingham right now, and if I succeed, I will be taking dipped eggs down there to hatch and starting from there, NO live birds will ever touch toe there except for what's hatched on site. I don't know how all these chicken swappers do it. Guess I just have terrible luck.

Single barred males are stunners, if only it bred true!

(How cruel is it that single barred females by comparison just look boring AF.)

Here's a reminder of what a true-breeding double-barred male looks like in buff cuckoo on a cochin.

I peed.

Points???

 

[BantyChooks]

Blech. The pattern is so messy on Orps.

Chanteclers have so much to offer that Orpingtons don't. Like normal amounts of feathering and nice tiny combs.

I have points. Are they naughty points? If so, Overo Mare has been very bad!
