Can anyone tell the lemon barred from the buff? Or the number of roosters? :lol:

Chick plans...

I am thinking of a large fenced area with fishing line across it. I saw this on YouTube. Not sure if this is a waste of.time and fishing line and possibly Lab will eat fishing line? Run can also be used for our Lab but Lab will eat the chicken poop. So either need to teach the Lab to stop eating poop (is this posssible :lol:) or keep the chickens outside the fenced in area :lol:

Also a dog run attached to a coop for them to go outside when I'm not home. I had plastic mesh once and freezing rain made it sag so much it looked like it was going to collapse. So this time I will build a wooden roof for it.

Chicks are growing quick so need to implement project "Cochin Coop" soon.

I read this on a webpage about cochins. "The one exception to the cochin’s friendly personality are bantam cochin roosters, who can be a little cocky and territorial." Is there any reason other than selectively breeding for aggressive or friendly chickens for a bantam to be less friendly?
