    Pimple??

    This guy is a Cochin bantam roo about 8-10 months old. He lives in a mixed flock and it fed layer crumbles due to living with layers. This popped up within this week. It is very hard, not hot, and seems to cause minimal pain. I used a needle to try to find a way to pop it and it is firm as can...

    I doubt myself way too much... Serama 6 months

    Alright, so I was certain this little one was a cockerel because of the comb since it was about 8 weeks old. It is now 6 months and I am really doubting myself. The saddle feathers almost look rounded like a pullet to me. The hackles look like cockerel feathers to me. All of my other cockerels...

    3 chicks - bantam breed

    Hi guys, These three came from the dreaded assorted bantam bin. My boyfriend picked them up because the second chick looked similar to our Pyncheon chicks. He nailed the coloring but these guys are lacking the poof/crest. I don’t think they’re pyncheon. What could they be? The third chick is...

    Silkie 6+ months

    Is this a fella or a lady? I was assuming it was a boy. However, it has not interest in breeding to anything. It’s constantly chased by our other roo but doesn’t submit to breed when it’s hopped on. There’s no crow and no egg. If I need better pics, please let me know.

    Bantam EE sexing 14 weeks

    Hi, This little birdie is coming up on 4 months old. I was fairly certain on gender until a few weeks ago. Now, I am doubting myself because of new coloring popping up and the feathers. I can’t tell if they truly have a pointy end or if they’re just slicked. Help please

    My first hatch!

    We’ve been raising chicks we bought and have some adult seramas that we were able to buy from a breeder. However, we hadn’t attempted eggs. We have a young momma that decided she wanted to go broody a few weeks ago. She ended up sitting on nine eggs from herself and one of our other Serama hens...

    Bantam Easter Egger

    This little bit is about 7 weeks old. We are hoping it’s a pullet but resigned to the fact that it’s probably a cockerel. Thank you in advance!

    Serama Genders

    Hi all! I got these little babies about a month ago. At the time, I figured they were about 8 weeks old because they were tiny and fully feathered. However, they haven’t grown much at all in the month that I’ve had them. So, I’m not sure on age at all. I guessed that the solid black one is a...

    Seramas - How do these look?

    Hi all! I’ve recently gotten into seramas. However, I still stink at determining what is well bred and what isn’t. I just think they’re all so cute because they’re so tiny! With the trio that I already have, I’ve been selling their hatching eggs to people wanting nice seramas. They’ve done...

    *Adults* Are these seramas or OEBG?

    I picked this pair up at the local auction last weekend. They are TINY, so I was thinking they might be a less typey pair. However, the NPIP tester today thought they were OEGB. I can see where she would get that. However, these guys are smaller than my nice show quality seramas that I got...

    NPIP tester coming hen on eggs

    I scheduled the NPIP tester to come out Tuesday so I can finally get my certification. However, I have a serama mama sitting on some eggs that I’m hoping to hatch out. It’ll be a little over a week of sitting when the tester comes. I’m a little freaked out that the testing process will cause her...

    Two silkies about 4 months old

    Hi, I have been growing out a buff Silkie and recently acquired a second one that was supposed to have been born about four months ago. Until now, I had been convinced that the one I had been growing out was a little cockerel because it developed a reddish comb and tiny blue wattles at about...

    Is this a buff or patridge silkie?

    Hi, Someone gave me this silkie roo at a swap meet since they had already sold all of their hens. I mainly took him because they were willing to give me a great deal on some pullets if I did. However, I’m a little confused on if he’s a patridge silkie or a buff Silkie with leakage. The person...

    Confirm my guesses?

    I stopped by the local farm supply store and picked up some left over bantams that they originally bought from ideal and had been unable to sell. They were in a cage at the back of the store growing out. I think I’ve guessed their breeds and genders, they wanted to confirm. How old do you think...

    4 month old Pyncheon gender

    Despite looking at hundreds of gender posts and trying to check my guessing to increase my sexing abilities, I still suck, lol. I got these two four month old puncheons. The seller and I were hoping they might be a mating pair down the road. I was thinking one pullet and one cockerel when I...

    I got seramas!!

    My boyfriend and I attended a table top Serama show today near our home. Boy, I am glad we did! We spent a total of $50 on five seramas. Within hours of getting them home, one had already laid an egg and the rooster is sitting on it! First, we purchased a “mystery” box. It was only $10 and...

    I’m too excited not to share!

    I just had to share! I thought I was raising a little polish chick. However, after further research, I have determined it’s a pyncheon chick! Furthermore, I found a lady close to me that is willing to sell me a pair of pyncheons that are almost breeding age. I am so excited to have a...

    Struggling to get breed guesses on these guys

    Good afternoon! I posted these guys when they were a day old but only got one awesome guesser. I'm hoping to solidify some breeds now that they're two weeks old and have changed a little. If you know what one or all are, please let me know! They all came from the bantam bin. I appreciate your...
