Hi Indiana Friends—including Indiana Thread founder, @Chaneys Ranch! I've "been meaning to" check in with everyone for a long time! Hope everyone has an enjoyable Thanksgiving!

Thanks, Pipd — I think. lol I think she'll look beautiful when she becomes a hen. It will be interesting to see if her personality turns out like the bantam Cochins I have/had from @ellymayRans.

Thank you to everyone who played "Pullet or Cockerel!" I sure hope it's a pullet. Although her legs seemed big, I hadn't noticed any spurs forming. Her tail feathers sticking out reminded me of cockerels we've had. Compared to the EE pullet that I bought at the same time, the Cochin has looked...

@jchny2000 I can't believe you're still waiting on your second cow to give birth. I did check the thread to see how things were going. Good luck to Dixie! OK, Everyone—Pullet or Cockerel?? Here are photos of my 10 week old LF Partridge Cochin that I bought from Agrarian when it was a chick. It...

Hi pginsber! I just noticed your message. It's good to hear from you! I receive alerts, but looked, and did not receive one about your question. Anyway, it certainly would not hurt to contact Ideal to see what their policy is. I mainly contacted Meyer because I wanted their option. She mentioned...

I just messaged Meyer Hatchery where Agrarian purchases their birds. I sent a photo of the 7 week old Cochin. Here's the Reply: Still early to tell for certain, but I am not seeing any obvious rooster characteristics. Here is our blog on some things to look for to determine gender in young...

Hi Pipd! ~ Hmmm, now I am confused. Anyone else familiar with LF Cochins? I'll try to get a new photo with better lighting.

Thank you! Yip, I had a feeling early on that the Cochin was a boy. He reminds me of an ostrich—leggy and he often stretches his neck up real tall. I feel certain that the EE is a pullet. They both were supposed to be, but we all know how that goes. I think that Agrarian may have a Barred Rock...

Hi everyone! It's so nice to see familiar names and new ones, too. I'm glad that the Indiana Thread that @jchny2000 started six years ago is still very chatty! I've missed everyone, but because I use a computer for my work, I am on the computer for hours every day. I've wanted to post many times...

@Faraday40 ~ I hadn't heard of a penciled rock pullet! She's beautiful. Is that breed easier to find than a Dark Brahma?

@Indyshent ~ So funny about your olive egger running out of toner! If Olive Eggers are part Marans and part Ameraucana or Easter Egger, then I guess that's where the blue egg came from (My knowledge of genetics of quite limited! Haha). Your story reminded me of things I've read about women's...

@Faraday40 ~ Love your photos! Oh, those little lavenders are so adorable! I am dying for a broody. My littlest Black Cochin Frizzle keeps teasing me. She acts broody for several hours and then gets up. I wish the bigger Frizzle would go broody since she was so serious about it last spring...

Welcome to the Indiana Thread @Derrick cook ! It's good that you're quarantining your Silkies and hope you are treating them, too. There's a lot of info on this site and also if you google chicken "colds." I'm just mentioning this because a year and a half ago, I lost six of my dear pet chickens...

She is gorgeous! How is her temperment? And were my other breed guesses correct?

@kanina~ I would like to see a photo of your partridge Cochin, Ethel! I'd like to have a LF Cochin some day. Does Ethel act like my Cochin bantams that I decribed?

Name That Breed? @hbrown322 & other chicken experts— I'm still wondering about identifying the breeds on post #52855. The second one from the bottom on the left side had such an interesting pattern. It looks like two different halves of a chicken put together. Stunning! @Leahs Mom ~ I agree...

@Leahs Mom ~ Do you have to worry about mold in your compost? All of the chicken books talk about how dangerous mold is for them to eat, but we have mold and other fungus growing many places outside because we have a lot of big shade trees. The chickens forage everywhere and especially love...

@Faraday40 posted: Yep, my big blue orp is VERY BROODY!:lau Faraday ~ She sure LOOKS pregnant! Haha She is gorgeous. Are you letting her hatch eggs? If so, do you know what they'll be? ---------- @hbrown322 ~ Thanks for posting your photos! I decided to play a game to try to guess the breeds...

I'm reading older posts and still don't have the hang of quoting. I clicked on +Quote, but didn't see it in my reply, so I'm pasting it myself. @Faraday40 said: Ducks in trees! That sounds so funny to me! When we 1st moved here I noticed that our suburban mallards liked to hang out on the roof...

Hello everyone! I wish I didn't have long gaps between posting. Too much work. Anyway, I hope everyone and their chickens and other animals are doing well! My girls are all doing well. Yesterday afternoon, my two frizzles from @ellymayRans crammed themselves in a space between a nesting box and...
