    Sitting bantam booted by sex link

    My little bantam is a mixed breed. Old English is in her blood, but not sure what else she is mixed with. I have a mixed flock with bantams, polish, new Hampshire reds, a couple Easter Eggers, a lavender and golden orp, a sapphire, and some black sex links. So far, only the bantam and sex link...

    Sitting bantam booted by sex link

    So, about 3 weeks ago, one of our bantam hens started sitting, finally. We had 7 eggs in her nest for her. Well. . Within the last week, it seems she's been booted off the nest by one of the black sex links, who has taken over her nest. Now, I understand that it takes a few less days for bantam...

    Free roosters, under 1yr old. Location: Liberty, MS

    My mom bought them. Most were runs. The one pullet she bought turned out to be a rooster too, but we're keeping silkie Harry(no longer Harriet lol). He tends to get chased the most out of the young roosters. . . My parents kept swearing up and down a few months back there would be no more...

    Free roosters, under 1yr old. Location: Liberty, MS

    Thank you. I appreciate the advice. The only problem I have with separating them is the materials to do it with. I've got the space in the pen for them. Don't have a second coop tho so I'm not sure what to do about that to make them a separate area to keep them. .

    Binding agent for flock blocks

    So I'm trying to make a flock block. I thought with the eggs and little honey I added it would bind well and harden after I baked it. Well I'm trying to find something to bind it together. Any ideas? I have some liquid pectin, but not sure how to use it. I'm also thinking maybe Paraffin wax...

    When do bantams start to lay? Also, is this a bantam?

    Hmm makes me wonder if we ended up with one of the broody's chicks instead of our own that we sent lol the one the stray cat got (which my nephew took care of. Been having problems with that cat for years, but he finally got complacent and got comfortable by the chicken pen one day. Last I saw...

    When do bantams start to lay? Also, is this a bantam?

    So. . . I went out to feed after work today and found a cute tiny brown bantam egg! I didn't think the three little bantams I have were old enough. I believe they are about 3 months old, from my own judgement, as they were still peeping when I received them. Now, my mom picked up two little...

    Aggressive Rooster?

    I had RIR that I just got rid of yesterday. I hated to rehome him but I hated to kill him more. But after a couple weeks, his behavior had only gotten worse, from bullying the others, pulling feathers out the young hens, and even starting to act aggresive towards me. I had done everything from...

    He's still the boss.

    Ours aren't free range. And I don't allow my child to tease or pick on any of the chickens. I even tell him he can't because it could make them mean. He also helps feed them. Personally I don't have any interest in killing the roosters, but if one tends to be aggressive towards a kind and...

    He's still the boss.

    Got a young rooster in my flock myself. Trying a new (temp) setup with the coop and went in last night to help the little silkie get up where she wanted and Red decided to take a big peck at me when I come in the gate. My response was to grab him up and hold his beak till he calmed down and then...
