I "think" 4 of those are roosters, though. We also bought 6 Barred Rocks, 8 Rhode Islands and 6 Aracauna/Americauna/Easter-Eggers. Buffs are known for being a very calm laid-back chicken. Our "ladies" are great. I can turn them out to free-range for a while in the afternoons and they are easy to put back up in the pen in the evening. It's amazing how much personality chickens can have. The EEs especially are super mellow and will just fall asleep in my hands. Sleepy chick pile: RIRs, BRs and Guineas http://i41.photobucket.com/albums/e257/OkieAmazon/sleepychicks1.jpg Our Black Cochins, "Handsome", "Opal" and "Ruby": http://i41.photobucket.com/albums/e257/OkieAmazon/cochins1.jpg One of the baby Buffs http://i41.photobucket.com/albums/e257/OkieAmazon/Birds/chicksLCpups018.jpg One of the RIRs getting chin scritches http://i41.photobucket.com/albums/e257/OkieAmazon/Birds/chicksLCpups013.jpg Some of the Easter-Eggers Pearl: http://i41.photobucket.com/albums/e257/OkieAmazon/Birds/chicksLCpups009.jpg Chocolate: http://i41.photobucket.com/albums/e257/OkieAmazon/Birds/chicksLCpups005.jpg TickTick http://i41.photobucket.com/albums/e257/OkieAmazon/Birds/chicksLCpups004.jpg They are all sweethearts. You'll notice TickTick is the only one with a tail, which is more of an Ameracauna trait.

(Funny how that works, isnt' it?) We currently have 23 hens and one roo and the feed bill is rediculous. Chanting to myself: No more chickies.... no more chickies... no more chickies...

There is a great chicken forum that I have recently joined that's lots of fun: backyardchickens.com There are tons of building plans for coops, chicken tractors, brooders, incubators, you name it! We have 9 of the Black Cochin eggs in an incubator right now. Hope we get some babies!

Barbara Schuler Webboard User Reg: 01-15-2009 Posts: 5090 Loc: Lanexa Virginia Offline	I found backyardchickens.com about two years ago; they were definitely a big help when we first got started. I've incubated all but six of the birds we've had - it is a fun process! I never get tired of candleing the eggs and seeing the little chicks forming inside the egg. (simple minds, simple pleasures...) Good luck with your Cochins!
