Love Brahmas, we have two just like that

I do too! We have 4 Brahmas and I’m hoping to add 3-4 more because they are the only ones not full of frostbite from all the wind! Our red sex links are having trouble. 😕

Same, ours have no frostbite but our Leghorn is having some trouble for sure. Our Barred Rock is doing well as, if that is an option for you.

I thought about Dominique hens because of the smaller comb, but you really can’t beat that tiny pea comb can ya?
They are so sweet. Rugger was mad because I wasn’t there to visit her for a few days. Little did she know I was giving birth LOL!

I had Dominiques and I LOVED them! They are not excellent layers if you’re looking for high production, and the Roos are major jerks, but the hens are calm, sweet, hardy and excellent mothers. They’re lovely birds. Only chickens I ever cared much for 🤣

Now I want more… no. No birds for me! 😂

Our Dominique roo actually sent my DH to urgent care. He spurred him right through his Muck boot. The doctor said that was certainly a first for him! It took some good antibiotics to fix him up.

Some years back I was moving some chickens around. I picked up a rooster and immediately felt a huge lump on his chest. I turned him upside down and could see the swelling. There was something hard inside the lump. I went and got DH and some tools. I managed to grab the "hard thing" with some needle nose pliers and pulled. There was a big ol' spur from another rooster that had broken off in this rooster's chest. I looked around and sure enough there was a one-spurred rooster running around. They both lived...at least for a little while longer, lol.

My Dominique rooster was fantastic.

He had zero people aggression, eas good with the hens, and kept the cockerels in line.

I love when my neighbors cows decide to bust through the fence and cut the grass in the orchard. Sometimes they leave ‘gifts’ behind as well.

Congrats @Medicine Woman - your pic is this week's POW winner and is featured on our homepage. Please keep them coming.

Before I turn in these recycle items maybe I can get some groceries out of them via hydroponics 🤷‍♀️

DH constructed this little greenhouse while I was away visiting my grandchildren. He used both new and old supplies. It’s really warm in here.
