The babies are all different breeds. I don’t have any chickens that are the same color because if one dies and I have to look at another one that looks the same, it will make me sad. Even if I get the same breed, it has to be a different color. I know that’s really weird! I guess when I run out of breeds, my chicken keeping days are over.
Thank you for responding, I loved hearing about your chickens, too! It may be where the old term "Old Bitty"comes from. The ISAs are a year old, but might feel older because of their genetics. In your situation, maybe the hens will think twice once those cochins hit full size. Luckily for the hens, I have read that cochins aren't likely to hold it against them.
