Brown Bovine Chicken?

Has anyone ever heard of a brown bovine chicken? I've never run across that type in my chicken reading, and when I googled nothing came up.

Never. Sorry -I saw all the views and thought I would tell you why I wasn't posting- lol. Good Luck!

No, but there is a Bovan Brown--which is, I think, a British hybrid.

Never heard of it... Did you hear it or read it? If you heard it, maby it was pronounced wrong and it's something else?

We crossed cat.. :)

Up with the chickens, ZZ!

A brown bovine chicken sounds like a bull, only a sissy one.

That is tooooo funny! I knew that was perfect comedy content.. Just didn't go there yet.. Not enough coffee ups yet..

Well, I'm in an earlier time zone. Some say a different zone altogether...

Never heard of it sorry

The Bovan Brown is a Gold Sex-linked--which see:

Aaah the Queen of the Links!!! I knew she'd have one. Ha!

Hey! That's what those two "Delawares" I have remind me of...

I think you are right ZZ--I think they may be sex-linked--except that would mean they are both pullets--cause a roo golden/red sex-linked chick would be white. But that might be why the breeder told you he KNEW they were pullets.

Funky -the Bovan seems to refer to sex linkage. However: urban dictionary says>
1. Bovan
A kick ass family that came from Canada. They are actually French Canadian, true definition is Whine Drinker.

Ah! ZZ, they found you!

LOL LOL

But I prefer Bheer

Just as long as you lay eggs it won't bother ME!!lolol

You all are too much!!!

I'm looking to add two more chickens to the four I have now and found an add on Craig's List for
"one year old organic brown egg layers $5.00/each." I wrote and asked what kind and he said brown bovine. I'm sure it was just a misprint. I'll let you know when I hear back from him.

Thanks for the help and entertainment!

LOL It was fun.. :)

Sounds like a deal to me!

I'd take it any day.

They sound like a deal to me too, but after talking with DH we may wait until spring to add to the flock. I would want to quarentine them for a couple of weeks and we don't have a place ready to do that right now. We could certainly build a temporary house, but are pretty busy trying to button the place up for the animals we already have at this time. I don't think we should take on another project before winter.

Awww. I was getting excited to see real bovine chickens!!!

If we change our minds, you'll be the first to know. ☺

Wouldn't six chickens keep themselves warmer than four?:0)

Hey i got a question what doe's a Plymouth rock chicken look like i had a friend call me and say he had me a hen and a roo for free.

Most definitely, Catscan! ☺

LOL Sounds like my chicks from Delaware! LOL

Definitely came in on this one late, but had to get my crack in. I was picturing a flying bovine cow.

Glad to see someone had some useful information for jasmerr, though!

Mostly like this. My meaty layers -used for sex-linked crosses and great all-around birds. May also be white and ? other color.

OH like a barred rock when he told me what they was i was plymouth rock and all i could picture was big yella chickens LOL
Is that your backyard is that a chicken tractor?

purloined pic from a dictionary. Mine are free range. Barred Plymouth Rock though there are other colors. Might ask him if they're barred...

I'll just have to see when i get them going sunday to pick them up.

I really like mine. Great utility birds and really fun to see what hatches if you cross w/ something. Dying to get a JG Blue Roo and cross that!!

what do you think you would cross with a blue JG?

Barred (Plymouth) Rocks. there's a thread back somewhere.....a
