I posted this in the Texas thread, but thought I’d post it here as well. I have 3 bantam flocks that need to go to new homes. We have to move to Utah in January for a job, and we won’t have a house yet, so we can’t take the chickens. We currently live south of Dallas.

Does anyone here have any experience ordering sexed Old English Game Bantams from Cackle Hatchery? They have crele and barred varieties that they say can be sexed based on appearance. I am looking to add a few little OEGB girls to my tiny bantam flock (seramas, OEGBs, and Japanese bantam), and I...

So I lost a silkie to a bobcat today. The bobcat didn’t actually kill the silkie, but it’s definitely responsible. My chickens are in a big secure run that looks like Fort Knox. However, the bobcat ran around the pen and scared everyone. One of my silkies then went inside the coop and died. It...
(1) Are you new to chickens / when did you first get chickens?
I'm sort of new. I had bantam chickens (and meat chickens once, not my favorite) growing up. Now my husband and I have a small flock of them ourselves that we started about a year ago when we moved into the country(ish).
(2) How...
