Sidewing, this is why I asked. I know nothing about most chicken genetics.

Honestly I do know more than 101 from selective breeding boa constrictors and leopard geckos, but I would need to check my book (21 Century Poultry Breeding) on feathered shanks. I'm not sure if they are dominant or incomplete dominant.

I'm considering getting a few bantam size chickens. If you were going to get a roo and two hens and it were your only bantams, what would you get?

Keeping in mind I would love some cute eggs to feed the kids and would love to have a few crazy looking chickens around.

Gating factor: Would my LF beat up on them?

If you have a LF rooster, you would want a chicken that can see to get out of the way. I love love the bantam cochins. I have a little white one right now. I have been letting her out, even with my rooster when I had him. The silkies and the Polish are darling, but they can have that big poof on top that will keep them from seeing what's going on around them if they free range.

I am going out to get a photo of a silkie for someone, so will get a shot or two of her. They are darling..here is one of a black mama that I had..loved her. A very sweet broody, and mom..not saying that all are the same during that time. But all of my cochins so far have been good broody and moms.

Here is my white little bantam cochin. A couple are fuzzy. She was going around that pen..It was warm out..so I only got a few of her and the silkie.






She has great leg feathering!

She was having a little dust bath, got her rear end. Pretty feathers.

feeling creative on this nice day, and made this goofy chicken egg holder. Granted it will only hold a few eggs...it still makes me smile. Especially because I made it POLISH style! I saw the original idea on Pinterest...but there's never enough polish chicken decor.

Your cochin is gorgeous, hope mine turns out to be a beautiful girl too.

Here are some pics of the chicks when I just took them outside, decided to clean so it took a bit longer to get back.

Here's the little thing in my hand. Boy or girl, these tiny things are adorable. As stated, this chick will be 4 weeks this Thursday.

Here is the same chick with a Salmon Favorelles. Not sure how old she is but she's getting her head feathers in.

Just a pic of the tiny cutie just standing in a corner.

And here is that chick with a supposed Bantam Cochin (frizzled). She is supposed to be 6 weeks.

Edit: Oh, and the ones in the background are the Black Australorps. I was told they were a month old when I got them, so they would be two months now, but... They're just starting to get their head feathers in.

Edit2: These didn't upload properly or something. In order to see the first two pics as big click on the last on and just scroll back through them in the picture window.

        I have also worked for O'currance.  A long time ago now.  they think they own your life and schedule but all employers think they own your life now a days.   They require some time in office, mostly for training I think.  then you can work from home.  A tip here.  they used to have you fill out an "availability"  sheet.  if you mark the weekends as unavailable you are MUCH less likely to be hired.  They didnt hire anyone that would not work weekends when I worked there.  Also, just because you marked an area as unavailable (like if your a student and need to go to class) they are still likely to schedule you in that time slot.  Maybe things are different now
        Jet blue is another good one, I have not worked for them but had a friend or two that did.  Good luck.  

Thank you for that info! I'm sure I'll find something eventually. Until then, I just need to get better at budgeting. Things will get better in time

Cute babies!

This does look like a frizzle bantam cochin. Going to be darling.

I'm curious, has anyone else had problems getting email notifications of private messages? I've unchecked and rechecked the boa to send an email...but it doesn't seem to make any difference
