Hi all,

I've been keeping chickens for just under a year now and really love them. I had a cockerel which was aggressive towards me so i finally sold him last weekend but had to sell my lovely hybrid ladies too otherwise he would never have sold plus i felt it wasnt fair to split them up as they had been together from a few days old.

I have been incubating some silkie eggs which hatched on 4th March only for me to discover that 3 of them were transylvanian naked necks instead I love them none the less though so all i have now are my 3 TNN's and one silkie chick possibly blue but looks more like brown

I am going to be hatching lots more this year though. Look forward to getting to know you all

Hello, I've just joined too.

Hi ducklady

what chickens do you have? or are they just ducks

I started with ducks (pets) and geese (to guard the paddock) and was persuaded to get 3 hybrids for eggs as my husband doesn't like duck eggs. I now have less ducks, no geese and loads of chooks. I have a mixed flock of hybrids, vorwerk, cochin, sussex, marans, cream legbar cockerel with some eggs in the incy hoping to get some ladies for him and a trio of large white Croad langshans. I have a trio of large black croads on order and still have 11 assorted ducks.

welcome,
wow, quite a collection then :) i love croads, also quite tacken german langshan bantams :)

welcome to the forum!

I once had a nasty cockerel, in the end he had to go too- we had him and one other chick from day old and he just felt he was incharge and made our lives hell!
Sorry you had to sell your hens too.

As for TNN i hatched some once- they remind me of dinosaurs, but i found them to be such characterful birds- good for eggs too!

Hope you enjoy the forum and make friends.

Hello! Welcome to the forum! I love TNN's!! Just never had the courage to keep any! I love the feather 'hat' on top of their heads! A friend of mine had quite a few of them, and they do make you laugh, like mini-turkey's! Hope you enjoy the site.
