Wondering if anyone has experience having large breeds and bantams get along peacefully?
I have:
Light Brahma cockerel (3.5-4 months old)
SN black austrolorp pullet (3 months)
--these 2 get along great--
2 cochins and 1 welsummer (I hope all pullets, about 9-10 weeks. They stick together and...
Okay sorry guys I'm still new to chickens and after picking this little one up for a closer look, it's below the vent that has been plucked bare. I'm really leaning towards it just being due to it being wet/rainy/muddy and the wet fluff lead to others picking on it. Vent seems to be normal and...
I can take more pics tomorrow. I wasn't familiar with coccidiosis but I just went through and read a bunch of threads on it...I really hope that's not it but perhaps I should get some Corid. Couldn't hurt, right? :/
Thank you! She's my special girl. One eye and a cross beak. She's such a sweetheart. She would let me carry her around all day! My fiance has been teasing me saying she's a roo so I just had to make sure :)

Cochin 1 (Winnie)
Cochin 2 (Basil)
Welsummer (Zobee)

I had three 14 week light Brahmas (2 cockerels and 1 pullet) and one 12 week black austrolorp pullet. My austrolorp is a crossbeak with 1 eye and doesn't travel too far from the run even though they have free run of...
I'm about to trade my bonded cockerel/pullet pair for these 2 cochins. They are 10 weeks and she "is guessing" they are pullets. I know this isn't much to go on but what do you think?
I have a small flock of 4 that have been together since hatch. They are 13 weeks old and 2 of them have turned out to be cockerels.

Someone was trying to tell me that since they've always...
