I am auctioning two pair of English Bantam Orpingtons off on the FB page Orpington Bantams USA. A Blue rooster and a light Mauve rooster, each with a choice of a hen to the high bidder. All the details are on the the auction posts. Come join the fun on the BEST Bantam Orp page in the USA

I give fermented feed in the am and they have crumbles in front of them 24/7. They get scratch (whole corn, BOSS and wheat) twice a day with extra corn in the evening during the winter. Chickens eat everything and if they are picky you are probably over feeding.
It may be that his intestines are permenantly damaged by the parasite infestations that he had. Sometimes the damage to the intestinal wall is so great that they never fully recover and are never able to fully absorb the nutrients they need. It may be a problem without a solution unfortunately.

Well my Bantam breeding program is coming together. I have some Blacks and Chocolates which go back to Orp Galore imports. And because of my good friend Greg Mignot, I have added some Clive Carefoot import blood; a pair of Blacks split to Mottle and a Wheaton cock over a Buff Columbian hen. I am...
Well I officially have bantams. I manage to find two nice roosters, a Chocolate and a Black split Chocolate and two nice Chocolate hens. I also picked up a group of Chocolate/Chocolate Cuckoo juveniles from Richard Jordan stock. I am picking up another trio next week of a very special color for...
Only do it to improve the Jubilee....... and cull all the mottle/spangle chicks DO NOT BREED them they will carry red leakage and ruin your Mottle/Spangle line...... for generations.
Jeremy I am new to chickens but bred show pigeons (still have race pigeons) and show guppies for years. Nothing is more frustrating than sorting out a line that has been mismanaged by a breeder. This is exponential when that breeder has mislead you about the genetic make up of the lines and you...
