    3 Bantam Flocks in Texas

    I posted this in the Texas thread, but thought I’d post it here as well. I have 3 bantam flocks that need to go to new homes. We have to move to Utah in January for a job, and we won’t have a house yet, so we can’t take the chickens. We currently live south of Dallas. The chickens have all...

    Texas

    Hello, fellow Texans! I hate this, but I have 3 bantam flocks that need to go to new homes. We have to move to Utah in January for a job, and we won’t have a house yet, so we can’t take the chickens. We live South of Dallas. The chickens have all been well cared for and have lived in large...

    FS: Female bantams near Corpus Christi TX

    Wow, that’d be great! Let me know if you do! I’d still love to get some of your little ladies!

    Bantam has gone broody - what do we do?!

    I have broody banties all the time. I just remove the eggs and take the hen off the nest and put her outside each day. I know she’s eating and drinking each day, and eventually she stops being broody. Others might take more extreme measures to break the broodiness, but this works for me and my hens.

    FS: Female bantams near Corpus Christi TX

    I’ve been looking for Old English Game Bantam hens or pullets! Unfortunately, it looks like you’re about 5 hours south of me :( I don’t suppose you’re taking any trips up north towards the DFW area any time soon?

    I use pine shavings in the coop and straw in the run.

    Sexed OEGB from Cackle?

    Thanks! I was hoping maybe someone had experience with buying them. I know that, for example, with MPC, people have complained that the accuracy rate, especially with bantams, is nowhere near the 80% they claim. I was thinking that with these types of chicks, maybe the sexing is actually pretty...

    Sexed OEGB from Cackle?

    Does anyone here have any experience ordering sexed Old English Game Bantams from Cackle Hatchery? They have crele and barred varieties that they say can be sexed based on appearance. I am looking to add a few little OEGB girls to my tiny bantam flock (seramas, OEGBs, and Japanese bantam), and I...

    The girls will not come into the coop at night

    For what it’s worth, I have two, sometimes three, small bantam hens that do not go into the coop unless I put them there. I have been moving them off the outside “roost” (which is in the rafters of their run, about 5.5 feet up in the air) and putting them inside the coop for almost a year now. I...

    Will a broody hen raise a songbird fledgeling?

    You can still give it back to mom, if she’s still around. Research on wildlife rehab sites shows that contrary to what most people think, mother birds do not reject babies or fledglings just because they’ve been handled by humans. If you can find mom, just get the little guy to start beeping...

    What would YOU do?

    Hmm, that’s a tough one. Maybe put yourself in their place and think about what you’d want someone to do if you sold them your pets, and then they decided they didn’t want to keep them. Or think about how you’d feel if somehow you saw them again, and they asked about the chicks. If you can find...

    bantam cochins in winter?

    I’m not in the north, but I have bantam cochins, and they seemed to do good last winter. They’re super fluffy, so I’m thinking that probably helps in the cold. (BTW, I love my little bantam cochins :love They’re the sweetest little birds. They really don’t mind being picked up and carried...

    Pasty Butt Help?

    If I under correctly, there is dried poo stuck under its tail that’s difficult to remove, right? I had the same problem with one of my chicks. I dunked it’s booty in a cup of warm water to loosen up the poo. Then I gently got my fingernail between the poo and skin and kind of pushed or pinched...

    **URGENT** Orphaned Baby Mouse

    I’d stick with a milk-type formula for mammals. Whole, raw, fresh goat milk; KMR (Kitten Milk Replacer); Esbilac (puppy formula); Enfamil (without iron); or Soyalac human formula.
