The Moonshiner's Leghorns Battle Edition

[Painted Calls]

I mean, obviously call ducks are amazingly cute, but why no more chickens?

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.

I'm so sorry to hear that. Sounds devastating.

Does everyone but me have points?

I would die for an isabella cuckoo, lavender cuckoo, cuckoo, chocolate cuckoo, buff cuckoo, crele, blue cuckoo, and pretty much any variety of cuckoo english orps.

Blech. The pattern is so messy on Orps.

Buff chanteclers all the way. I'm less of a fan of orps in general.

I like the cuckoo, but I like messy, chaotic birds too

 

[ColtHandorf]

But you can't really see the pattern on Orps. It's just super faded.

But you can see enough to know something is different than a white bird. That's enough for me

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