Does it have a bald spot in the same place on the other side? Isn't that a good rule for us humans as we get older.. If it's the same on the other side don't panic? :gig

Renters put big fire in fireplace and one of the logs fell forward to the very front of the fireplace and the whole house was full of smoke! Luckily nobody died! LOL

Robo, I know GAM is too nice to use her guns on you!

You really need to get those folks out of there and never let them come back. Good grief.

And ... I know who to call for a character witness if I ever need one

And GAM.. Maybe Flower knows you're nice enough not to pull the trigger...

But I don't.

And who not to call.
 
My thoughts on loose dogs is that they are a predator. If the owner cared about the dog, then it wouldn't be on my property.
You just do what you got to do.
And then in the words of Lynard Skynard....

So, don't ask me no questions
And I won't tell you no lies
So, don't ask me about my business
And I won't tell you goodbye
 
Both of my Cochins hatched last night! They are so QUIET. I don't think I've ever had chicks hatch and not wake me up at least once. Maybe I was just super tired.

Anyway they are both buff, no surprise. The flock was all buff frizzle hens with one buff barred and one black barred/split boy (both smooth).

How long usually until you can tell they are frizzled?

In about 4 days
 
Speaking of being tired....the renters left yesterday and I spent all day cleaning the whole 7000 sq feet of house (cleaning sheets -over 13 sets, mostly king size, towels, floors, bathrooms, making beds, etc) so DHs friend from FL and his family could come stay with us. I could hardly move last night by the time they got here.....AND THEN, found out my fitbit battery was dead!!!!! I hate that! I usually register over 17,000 steps on cleaning day and I didn't get any! AND THEN, we got a call that our dear long time friend, Chipa Wolfe, died! He is the one who puts on all the Indian Pow Wows in Canton every Mother's Day! Oh my gosh, what a loss! He is the one who had the buffalo, Thunder, if anyone has been to the pow wows. AND THEN, I am about to crash into bed and I think about the eggs in my incubator and thought, you know, last time I candled them, they looked further along than I thought so I double checked the dates in my book and OMG, they were suppose to have gone into lockdown on Saturday! So, I hurriedly put them into lockdown. So tired! AND THEN, laying in bed calculating and realize those chicks are due to hatch tomorrow (Tues) and I'm suppose to meet my DD in downtown Atlanta and spend the night with her because she is here for a rare overnight trip! And her plane leaves again at about 6 am on Tues. AND THEN, I wake up today and already have a pip, which means they are going to be hatching while I am downtown staying with my daughter! Ugh! But, would rather be with my daughter for the few hours she will be here! I need a break!

I agree with Flower, you should know in 4 days. If you still don't see any by 7 days, they are for sure not frizzle. The wing feathers grow first and those will be the first little curls you see. Once you have bantam Cochins you will want more. That is how I ended up with 250 of all colors. I had some mean roosters like any breed but they were rare. I had a solid white frizzle rooster that looked like a tiny fluffy house shoe and even though he looked like a pretty angel he was nothing but the devil.

One thing I have learned about bantams after so many years of breeding them. Do not put them in tiny cages or coops. They are small and take up less room but putting them in small contained areas will make the roosters mean. Not trying to debate, just sharing my experience and observation. Once they are mean, seems there is no changing them.
