He's a beautiful Bantam Cochin, just a real jerk. I think it is because he is second best and everybody thinks Raspberry is the most beautiful, and Cinnamon just can't handle that.
I love that video - Someone sent it to me a few weeks ago, and I must have seen it a dozen times and still love it..
I'm no expert on deep litter, and not quite sure where to send you, but one thing I learned is to toss some scratch and weeds on top of it. I tend to use hay, that's what is available locally. They love the weed seeds.
Orpingtons I noticed do have the "Bustles" - Some more so than others.... even ours is starting to get hers....Here are a couple of pics of my younger birds....
I think the one in the front left is the one I mentioned earlier with the "bustle" looking rear end. It's a little hard to tell in these pics though. No one answered me on that...is that type of feathering unusual? Would it be against some standard for someone who was trying to breed Orpingtons? I'm inclined to keep her anyway, just because she's less flighty than the other birds. I was just curious.
Awe! --- if we didnt already have (2) -- maybe more & he wasnt such a chithead... he's beautiful!!!!!!! *sniffle*He's a beautiful Bantam Cochin, just a real jerk. I think it is because he is second best and everybody thinks Raspberry is the most beautiful, and Cinnamon just can't handle that.
