    Tennessee, young Millie Fluer cross roo

    I found him a home. But I've got hens setting again so I'm sure I'll have more lol. I can let you know when I do if you like. They're bantams but not real tiny bantams so he would cross with your big hens and give you medium sized feather footed chickens. I'm near Jackson TN if that's not too...

    Tennessee, young Millie Fluer cross roo

    He's 4 months old, good with the hens and pretty social. I have 2 roos and I only need one. He was hatched Aug 5 and is a Millie Fluer D'uccle, BB red cross. He's a nice roo and I want him to have a home not end up in a pot. Absolutely no aggression in this guy

    Listless pullet

    I also haven't seen any evidence of worms, but after losing my rooster this summer (he was 5 years old) I'm paranoid. I was pretty sure he died of an impacted crop but it could have been gape worm I guess. I wormed the girls after he passed but this hen was hatched after that. They were raised...

    Listless pullet

    I checked for mites and lice and didn't see anything. I'll start adding electrolytes in her water tomorrow and if she's not doing better tomorrow evening I may just bring her in. I think I'll pick up some corid and just go ahead and treat them all. If that doesn't work how long should I wait to...

    Listless pullet

    I have an almost 5 month old pullet that isn't acting right. It just started in the last 3 days when this cold snap hit. She's listless and fluffed up alot sitting in the sun. She's still eating but not like she was before. She's still drinking but staying close to the coop and not Free ranging...

    Tiny egg

    I figured it may be a fairy egg. I thought 16 weeks was way too soon for my bantams to be laying

    Tiny egg

    I found this in the run today and not sure who left me this tiny egg. Most of my hens are moulting and my bantams that my broody hatched are only 16 weeks. Is this a fairy egg or an actual pullet egg?

    I have all bantams and a few that are only 7 weeks old. Is it safe to feed them BOSS?

    Mean Mille Fluer hen

    I have 3 Mille Fluer D'uccle hens and they are very personable, even the mean hen. I know it's all chicken pecking order drama but I hate to see it lol. I love my bantams but you're right they are full of drama, but they make up for it in personality. I'm playing on a few more old English game...

    Mean Mille Fluer hen

    I wasn't prepared for a broody this time but next time... I'm already ready. I will make sure that they are in sight of each other even though seperated. I keep an eye on everyone and mommy tends to stay off alone with her babies. My husband gets so mad at that mean hen that he's ready to kill...

    Mean Mille Fluer hen

    I recently added my broody hen and her 6 week old chicks back into the flock after 2 weeks of being in a pen inside the run so everyone can meet peacefully. Everything has gone pretty good, mom still keeps them with her and the hens seem to ignore them,the roo also. All but 1 hen! She will...

    Weird happening need thoughts

    I love bantams! My BB red rooster is a wonderful rooster. He watches his hens, always feeds them the choice bugs and even stands guard while the hens are in laying. A good rooster is an asset to the flock, he will protect his hens. I've seen my tiny little guy charge a neighbors lab, jump on his...
