Hi! We recently got several BBB poults and a whole bunch of assorted Cochin Bantam and Polish chicks. We lost two of the poults (and two chicks) early on and replaced the two we lost with two Rio Grande's. Everyone is housed together and is doing well at 3 weeks even with the obvious size...
This one is my new "Mystery Chick." She hatched out of a white egg. Her Dad is either a Black Silkie or a Golden Laced Cochin Bantam. I think the identity of her father will become visible over time. But who is Mom?
My chick is mostly black with white on her wing tips, yellow on her belly, and...
I picked up several babies this year and 3 of them I am pretty sure of although 1 is a total mystery to me. I got them on Wednesday and Friday, they were most likely born on Monday or Tuesday (April 29th or 30th). They are from Privett Hatchery. They came from a group of Straight Run Assorted...
I got a new Rooster last night that I was told was a Silkie. I didn't see any pictures before I picked him up. Once we were on our way home I thought, "Wait a minute!? He doesn't have a head poof! And his comb... this boy is a mix!" I certainly do not mind at all but I'm curious, what else is he...

Hi! I picked up some Bantam chicks yesterday (Wednesday May 16th, 2012. I believe they were born on Tuesday, May 15th) They are only a day old in these photos but I was wondering if they have any distinguishing characteristics that might help me identify them. They came from an assortment of...
On the 16th (2 days from now!!!) the local feed store is getting in a variety of Bantams. I really have my heart set on getting 3 Barred Cochin Bantam chicks. I have been trying to look at photos online but I keep ending up with such a variety of photos of different birds. Does anyone have...
