Good afternoon! A little about me! I’m born and raised in ND and now raising a family of 5 here in a small town just how I like it! I worked in the oil industry for around 12 years and when Covid and oil plummeted I decided to stay home for a bit. While home I had a ton more time so took up the hobby of buying some chickens for some farm fresh eggs. Turns out a few 4 years later I want to now branch out and breed. My favorite bird is a Cochin. I absolutely love everything about them! From their demeanor to being cold hardy and having eggs on a regular! I love flashy but some flashy aren’t cold hardy! My husband has always been against small birds that don’t lay well and aren’t cold hardy. So what I plan to do is breed flashy to good layers! I have a lot of blue Cochins, blue frizzles, blue silkies, blue Marans, and a few other blue. Can you tell I love blue? I have also really wanted to add some cool patterns so I did get some Orloff, Crele Penedesenca, Sicilian bittercups, porcelain and Mille Fleurs, and some neat bantams. Next year should be fun!

If anyone has a cool mix that would be cold hardy, lay a lot, and flashy let me hear em! This is absolutely so fun for me! Thanks everyone!
