| Ridic. A Large Black Cochin. Our first
chicken at this residence. Bought at Boomer's Feed. Hatched May
'99. Two weeks old when we brought him home. |
Henny Penny. A Banty Rhode Island Red. A
replacement for a "pullet" we bought that started crowing
(pullet=young hen). From Boomer's Feed. Probably hatched in '98.
About a year old when we picked her out. Has 10 chicks at the
time of this photograph (June, '00). A good hen. 100% hatch and
all healthy! |
