Hi, I show through my high schools FFA chapter. I have been showing for 2 years and have owned 12 birds over those 2 years. I have a silver laced polish cock that would like some company. I want one or two friendly (not timid) pullets preferably silver laced, but I understand if that is too...
I started with chickens around three years ago, and fell in love. What started as four chickens to produce a few eggs, has grown into large flocks of birds.
Today I focus my attention to perfecting project brahma colors, and am expanding into langshans. I want to learn as much as I can about...
I bought a group of day old and was reassured that bantams and large fowl could live together. I got three bantams and an Orpington. Sadly, the Orpington and one of the bantams aren't around anymore and one of the bantams turned out to be a cockeral!
The bantam cockeral doesn't seem to jump on...

Ive decided to make a new coop as my older coop was getting a bit cramped and ive noticed how it was falling apart. I have a brahma cockerel and some brahma pullets in the flock so i wanted to put their bigger bodies into consideration. I have realized that my brahmas have a problem jumping up...

I know silkies are renowned broodies but I’m just wondering what your favourite breeds or particular cross breeds are to use as...
Hey everybody. My friend has been trying to get a large fowl Cochin for awhile. She had a very sweet blue girl who sadly passed away due to unknown circumstances. She of course was heartbroken. So she bought a straight run partridge Cochin. Who is now about 6 weeks and I’m pretty positive is a...

Hi guys, I bought this chick from Tractor Supply and it was labeled as a Silver Laced Wyandotte which is CLEARLY not the case :rolleyes: Does anyone have any clue what this little lady might be? She’s a large fowl bird.
Hello everyone!
We are looking to add a few more girls to our existing flock this year. In our LF coop, we will be pairing down to the following:
BBS Australorps
EE's
a Buff Orpington
a Speckled Sussex
an Olive Egger (that lays a brown egg) :rolleyes:
Here's what we (ok, I) am considering...
Large fowl Cochins are my favorite breed, along with brahmas, but I can't seem to ever find anyone that breeds them. Why is this? I see bantam Cochins for sale everywhere, however, the standard breed seems extremely hard to find for some reason. Thanks in advance.
