If you've been reading my facebook page, you will know that I purchased 2 Cochin bantam chickens a couple months ago and they're very sweet and friendly.
I have been checking the roosting boxes daily in the hope that I might find some freshly laid eggs. Each day I came up empty.
Yesterday, while installing the new hay feeder for my boy goats, Chipper and Corduroy, I heard crowing. Lots of it.
I stood and watched my chickens for awhile and noticed that they were ALL crowing. Hmm, I thought, that's interesting.
Dominant hens will sometimes crow, but since I bought these 2 as a pair, that really isn't the case in this situation. And yes, these chickens were sold to me as hens.
So, I called my son, Jacob, the chicken guru, to come and check out these chickens. He was with me when I purchased them, kept them for me while my coop was being built and even he was fooled.
To make a long story short, Joslyn and Jorja are now Jach and Jorje.
Girly little roosters, they are, too.
So now, once again, I'm on the hunt for some fuzzy footed egg laying HENS!
