I just wanted to post my chickens.
September 19, 2023.
My mom bought me these chickens in late 2022 at an auction. There were originally four and she got them for the extravagant price of $0.75 per bird. I didn’t have chickens or plan on getting chickens but if your mom buys them then you do what you have to do. So I took them home and threw together a coop.
They were very small at the time. Couldn’t tell if they were hens or Roos. But I ended up with three hens and a roo. No clue what breed they are and I don’t remember what they sold as either but they are a smaller type. They are quite docile and pretty good layers and if you look close you can see they have a topping of feathers on their head like a little pompadour. They are quite broody as well.
And I love love love this little rooster. Such a handsome boi and so sweet to his girls.
I’ve lost one of the hens and only have two so I wanted to breed them to continue the bloodline of chickens that my mother got me. So I did some incubating and though I didn’t plan it I got one hatched ON MY BIRTHDAY!
Behold my poofy headed Birthday Chicken. And it turned out to be a hen! The fact that she is tan rather than snowy white is slightly disappointing but it is what it is.
I plan to breed her to an Ayam Cemani rooster to see what happens.
If any cool chicken peeps see this and have any ideas on what the parent birds are I’d love to hear them! I haven’t had any luck getting an ID on them.
Here's the incubator I have had the most success with:
