Welcome to my pond - Swim, wade, or sit on the bank

Hey Oz, guess what I just found out? Armand is not full cochin. He's got something else in his background. Had to figure out how/why that chick I posted pics of last night has beard and muffs. Its Armands fault. I can't believe I've posted dozens of pics of him over the last year, and nobody said anything.

So now I guess I give him away as a mix instead of trying to sell him as frizzled cochin.

i'm sorry

 

[WVduckchick]

i'm sorry

Thanks. I'm mad. Now I can't even use any of his beautiful babies! Well, I can... as mixes, but you know what I mean.

Luckily I already have George, his replacement, and he's beautiful. But I have a few really pretty females from Armand, that I was hoping to use. Oh well, I wish I had learned sooner, but now is better than later...

Bum deal, WV - very sorry to hear that. Onwards and upwards, my dear

Ugh. That sucks WV, but glad you know now and can rearrange your pens. Since he's cute, maybe someone will want to buy him and the mixed girls for a backyard pet flock.

Good morning everyone. Need coffee, then I'll work a while then run to TSC to finish up the care package for Turk.

I really need to do some cleaning around here

Ugh, I feel you on the cleaning... hard to do when our whole place has been set on broil for months... :/

Sorry, hon... I really don't know Cochin or frizzle genes...

Thanks.  I'm mad.  Now I can't even use any of his beautiful babies!  Well, I can... as mixes, but you know what I mean. 

Luckily I already have George, his replacement, and he's beautiful.  But I have a few really pretty females from Armand, that I was hoping to use.  Oh well, I wish I had learned sooner, but now is better than later... 

But... I do know, if you really like some of his daughters and want to keep them, if you keep track of them and their offspring you can line breed them back to George until they breed true again... outcrossing is done all the time to refresh genetics...

Can anyone help me with this?

I've never seen mine stomp. Sounds like something a male turkey would do.

For the last several days I've been unable to submit photos on my phone app. I get a "CANCEL" button in the middle of the screen that locks up my photo download.

I'll have to re-try my phone now. Maybe they fixed mine!

good morning!

cleaning is overrated

Ok, I agree. I think my pig sty of a house can wait one more day.

Not bad, but... what does the hen in the pic to the right of the eggs pic look like? And what does the rooster look like?
