I'm already chicken crazy but I am in love with these little marshmallow heads!
Before I lost all my chickens last January I was planning on breeding my EE chickens since my roo is EE but after my 6 month search for these rock star chicks and finally found NINE from a breeder (better then a hatchery which I'll cover in future post) , I decided that I am passionate about them enough to commit to breeding them to the standards.
In my lifetime I have bred Cocker Spaniels and Quarter Horses, so I'm not new to the commitment and passion one needs to breed for the betterment of the breed and I am ready to make that commitment. To top that off, I have very young grandkids who love these marshmallow heads as much as I do! My 5 year old grandson Geddis, told me today that he didn't want to leave until these chicks got bigger! After spending the day watching the chicks and his worry after seeing our roo mount one of the hens and concerned that our roo was hurting her, he got the lesson on what mating is and that all eggs are not fertile and how they get fertilized...well, he actually saw how they get fertilized, and he's OK with the whole thing.
So, lots to learn and am looking forward to a flock of these dizzy little chickens running around!
