    Bad Bad Birdie. Buffalo!!!

    My Cochin was bantams, and they started laying at 7-8months I think. I feed high quality feed, a mix of beans and peas that we slow cook on the stove, and kitchen scraps.

    WANTED: Canadian-Friendly Hatching Eggs Spring 2017

    NW Ontario, Red Lake. Darn, was wondering why I couldn't find any options other than Frey's hatchery. I want more quality stock than hatchery birds. Thats why I am searching far ahead, I found my current birds from Kijiji, the father was english import but I think the hens were hatchery.

    Bantam Red Silkie Rooster-Tx Panhandle Area

    Looking to rehome my 3 month old bantam rooster, Butterscotch, who is a red silkie. We just confirmed he was a rooster by his morning attempts to crow, and cannot keep him in our backyard flock. Looking for a local person in the Amarillo Texas area that would be interested in him. Thank you!
