I haven't had much time lately to write about my chickens since I was quite busy building their "Run" . In fact, I had to hold off work on the run due to some weather condition lately and my work/personal life have been quite busy as well. At any rate, I wanted to quickly share some images that I took recently of "Peaches". Well first of all, he/she doesn't look like a hen anymore, I probably have a second Rooster in my hand. As you can see, I have a Cuckoo Chocolate Orpington (which is by the way extremely rare from what I've learned). Rare or not, he will not be serving the primary purpose for
which I need chicken. If I were into breeding and it made sense for me to explore that area, I would be ver excited to see his line continues. However, the reality is, I need to keep hen for egg production. Last time I checked, 'Rooster doesn't lay any eggs' ;p .
Peaches (I should continue to call him that) has some personalities that is unique to him. He is usually a loner ; constantly drift away from the other three which are always together. He also the only one challenges Tim for a quick fight. Peaches is least scared of me. When I took these photo with my iPHone, he was not troubled by me at all.
I think Peaches is the true bantam while the other Orpington I have are in between (Large Fowl). I have to take some picture of the other Orpington so you can see how they have grown compare to Peaches.
