They're clearly wearing bellbottoms, and there's a blonde one and a dark haired one. Hopefully the ladies will find them irresistible. Right now they back down even against the lowest-ranking bantam Leghorns, poor little guys.
They are Cochins, and they are sweet as pie. They were supposed to be pet backyard hens for a lady in the city, but unfortunately for her they grew up into roosters. They are hand-tame and I'm working on keeping them that way - a mean rooster will rapidly become dog food, but a sweet one can stay :)
G flipped his lid when I informed him via text message that I was getting new animals. I might have neglected to mention that it was just two more chickens. He's funny when he's mad :)
They are awesome!
ReplyDeleteI know so many husband s that get streamed when wives say another animal is coming to stay.
In this case roost.

ReplyDeleteyousa baaaaaaad gurl.
Like it that way.
I got new chickens too! Mine are girls though so will contribute to the family every day. They are culls from a friend's breeding program.
ReplyDeleteHope Bo and Luke stay sweet.
aaaaaa! such cute chickens! I hope to get some this year....can't wait : )
ReplyDeleteNow you have to have a bodacious hen named Daisy.
ReplyDeleteLove Cochins!
ReplyDeleteHahahaha-Love their names. Too funny.
ReplyDeleteI'm in hell here because the baby chicks are in at all of the feed stores and I am not set up yet to start buying.
I love chickens with feathered legs (like your boys), but am a Banty lover. I saw some Banty babies that have feathered legs...Oohhhhh, it was hard to resist. I simply must get my shed converted to a coop ASAP.
Oh! I love your new roos!
