Thanks! That is my suspicion too! I haven't heard it crow or seen it lay an egg, but it looks more like a boy than a girl to me but I'm not at all an expert.
Thanks everyone! I can't get a good picture of my black one, or my 3rd white but I'll try again sometime.
The whites were supposed to be bantams but you can see how gigantic they are compared to my other same aged bantams! Oh well...
What is the ratio of nesting boxes per hens... I have around 20 bantam hen chickens. How many boxes do I need?
What are dimensions for a bantam nesting box?
Thanks!
I've never tried keeping them together but my concern would be with the rabbit having to hop in chicken poop all of the time. I would think it might aggravate the rabbit if it was always dirty!
But that's just something that comes to mind.
I am still unable to post a picture BUT I believe I figured out what they are! Thanks to someone else's post wondering about their chicks breed... Golden or gold laced sebrights! Does anyone have any info on this breed?

Of course you'll love them!! You may keep a certain fondness for your favorite that was lost but these new ones will all have their own personality and new things to love! Although my beloved hen turkey has a special place in my heart... I've loved all my birds since!
Hi everyone! I'm not really new on here but I haven't posted much and am trying to be able to put pictures on! I've had chickens and turkeys before but I lost all my hens last summer to a bear so I've started over!
I have 15 mystery bantam chicks
2 goldlaced cochin bantam chicks
1 Welsummer...
I had a tom once who was as sweet as could be but he hated my blue flannel shirt. He got very aggressive when I wore it! So obviously I stopped and that problem was solved. If the problem is he's just mean then I agree to get rid of him and find a calmer tom! No one likes getting chased by a...
You have the right to protect your livestock... the exception being federally protected animals like wolves and raptors... I agree with Bobbi-J... predators are predators but not all will make a habit of eating your chickens... that is something that needs to be dealt with because it will...
Last summer a bear ripped the wall off my chicken coop (refurbished shed) and snatched my poor birds off their roosts one night... he ate all of them leaving feather piles and one wing. Then he moved onto my Flemish giant rabbits but fortunately that's when I got outside to chase it away. All of...
