Project Cockerel, Nankins, New Hampshires & Call Ducks

Chocolate Project Cockerel: Turning out to be quite a beautiful bird but unless I find something to use him with, this is pretty much the end of the project.

Nankins out in the daypens. They don't stay in these without us being home, but they give the chickens some much need access to green our well...brown grass and dirt and bugs, without any worry of the males fighting or anything getting them.

New Hampshire Bantam Male

Same male...again.

Blue Magpie Drake and Black Magpie Duck
Our two year old son had a pair of black Modern Game bantams that disappeared, (not sure if it was a wandering dog or 'coon.) Anyway, he loves birds so we wanted to replace them before he noticed and through a huge fit about it. Anyway...I still don't think he's noticed the bantams are missing, but he is in love with these two little Call ducks. Hopefully we can hatch some next Spring. They are such cute ducklings!!! These are far from top show quality, but nice ducks for a two year old.
