I'd like to buy a dozen as a gift for a friend.

I got a video yesterday of Pearl laying her egg. I continued videoing to catch the "trance" after laying and then some interesting nesting behavior.

How long do your hens brood their chicks before letting them go? My bantam Little brooded her first hatching this spring and "kept" them for 10 1/2 weeks! Her fall hatching just turned 11 weeks old today and no sign of her giving them up yet! They're LF also, so now at night on the roost, she...

Ok, so I have a 9 1/2 week old pullet and 2 cockerels, all Cochin crosses. I hadn't planned on keeping the cockerels so hadn't named them. It looks like they'll both be here till at least spring now, so I'd like some help naming them! The pullet is named Princess. I got some crappy pics of them...

This past spring I hatched out a couple chicks, both ended up being cockerels. One an OEGB and one a WLH/Wyandotte. The WLH was very loving toward the bantam, putting his wing over him at night on the roost. Then the bantam was killed by a hawk. I bought bird netting and covered the run. Then I...

I have 2 Cochin cross cockerels, both black with some golden/red feathering, one smooth legged, one with feathered legs. 9 weeks old tomorrow. Very friendly. Free to good home, in Polk County NC.

I got pictures of most of my flock earlier this evening. I thought we could make a game out of it too, where I introduce a bird and you guys get to guess the breed(s). Anybody game? And no cheating by going back to my intro post! Okay, bird #1. I'm going from oldest to youngest. This is Ms...

Just purchased 3 new hens, 2 are of the same breed, 1 of a different breed. All are 16 wks old. The person I purchased them from, got them from McMurray hatchery in the brown egg layer assortment. I still can't place them even after looking at their site. Any ideas? The seller thought maybe a...
