Big

I see this post got lot ot notes and many of you are spreading wrong information about his breed and asking questions so here are some answers:

1. This breed is not brahma but cochin. It is lesser known than brahma but about the same size than brahma.

2. Huutis is bigger than average for his age (he is still growing), so watch out bois

3. And yea his name is Huutis which is word play in my language and means something like “yell'er” or “screamer”.

4. No this is not photoshopped or a trick of the camera. You can see the smaller chickens there. This is real. This is him when he is.. not flapping his wings.

5. Idk where he got his pants he won’t tell me I don’t speak chicken

6. Yes this is a totem pokemon but it was supposed to be secret. I guess the secret is out now then. He is also the mega-boss of everything. And a god.

(7. He is actually a really gentle boy. Never has he tried to intimidate me or any other humans. Takes good care of the flock. Good boy.)

Can confirm: I had a cochin like this. They are B I G   B O Y S. They are also very gentle, and sweet. Please observe Trousers, our cochin boy. He was very good.

Trousers and two large fowl Faverolles hens (Coho in middle, ‘Relly on the right)

He was enormous enough to be a house for the other (still large) chickens. Coho the Salmon Faverolles snuggles under him in this photo. He would just calmly let them do anything. He was Very GOOD

He was still young in this photo but BIG

CO-PARENTING HENS

This year we have a lot of co-parenting pairs of hens. Two hens will share a nest and brood the same eggs side-by-side. When the chicks hatch sometimes the generosity lasts and sometimes one of the hens will take over. So far these two pairs are sharing parenting responsibilities.

None of these chicks biologically belong to these hens, they are barnyard mixed eggs from the farm. We do have an offspring of the black hen shown here who hatched out in early April. It is now over 6 weeks old and looks incredibly goofy.

Because you guys were so kind when I posted my last painting, I thought I’d share a sketch done withreference.Same crappy phone camera quality, though.

I just really love chickens, you guys!
