My Old english game bantamss are 7 weeks old, even though they are a 1/4 the size of my Rhode islands I think it's time they joined the main flock. In the past I've snuck the birds out at night and set them on the perch with the other girls and it seemed to work. I'm nervous due to the huge size...
Last Tuesday I got my first set of birds and the American Game bantams arrive at the feed store tomorrow. Is 1.5 weeks to big of an age difference to house bantams

Yesterday my wife mentioned that there was lots of loose feathers in the ducks house. I didn't really think much of it until I went out today. The whole floor is capetered in feathers! Usually there are no feathers in there. My ducks are 8 and 9 weeks old. Do ducks have a final feather blowout...
It's only July and I'm already thinking of next years flock!!! I have been reading some books lately and American Game Bantams have peaked my interest. My book says they are usually friendly, good mothers and generally very hardy. I like the looks of them as well. I was wondering if some other...
My oldest duck Samson was the only duck to survive out of a shipment of 10. He seemed to be doing fine but is now showing signs of CRD. For a while he was coughing but that stopped. Now he is the smallest by far even though he is the oldest and his feathers are all ratty and thin. What should I do?
