    Broody Hen shaking/diahreea

    Hello, I have a broody hen who just hatched six healthy chicks. I noticed she was shaking a little bit, but thought that, as a banti, she was high strung and twitchy. She is very skiddish. I got a call today from my younger sister informing me that the hen is really trembling and keeps -...

    Chicks have mites?

    Hello, all. I had a large, healthy batch of little chicks this summer, and they all seem to be growing, happy, and healthy. Today, I noticed that my Nankin mix banti had patches of feathers missing on his back. One of his nest mates has similar patches, although I only noticed them when I...

    Chick's slow decline in mobility.

    S/He has the silkie feet with five toes on both feet. I have him/her in a cage with a grid floor, hay as bedding. I can only think of four in the past six years that have suffered from this condition; all of them were either silkie or of silkie heritage, and only one of them was an adult when...

    Chick's slow decline in mobility.

    In November, I had a uncommonly late hatch for my flock. My silkie/game mix hatched a single chick of her own, and because of the harsh New England weather conditions, we've kept her inside. The chick grew very healthy; s/he has perky eyes, is alert, and, up until last week, was up and about in...

    9 week old Wyandotte: boy or girl?

    I'd say hen, at this point.

    Identify me!

    So, I purchased four Nankin chicks, another Nankin roo, and a Nankin hen. This massive chick was in the mix, and I couldn't leave her/him. The owner of the farm said that they had been given the mystery chick (they take in unwanted birds). So, I'm trying to figure out what it is exactly.

    Gender Guessing Time...

    My mix-breed chicks are around 3 months, and I've found this to be a good time to put in the guesses as to who's what. First up... This one is descended from a silkie/game bantam/Golden Sexlink line. Judging from her waddle and comb, in comparison with some of her sibs, I think this might be a...

    Mystery Bantam

    Is there any place the sells Nankins? He's tiny, and doesn't have any hen that he can properly look after. I don't want the other roosters clobbering him either. I'd like to get him some Nankin hens, though I understand the breed is rare?

    Mystery Bantam

    Quote: Now that you mention it, he does kinda look like one, when compared to this pic from the Feathersite: Thanks for the suggestions so far! I'm happy whatever he may be. I know he's not a mix, because the lady who bred him kept the breeds separate from each other. (excluding the silkies...
