I have a showgirl rooster. He has 1 showgirl hen and 3 amberlink hens. He also has a d'uccle bantam hen. She is the oddball. They are all laying. They all get along really good, but the rooster doesn't seem to want to "service" the d'uccle. Not sure if it's because she is smaller or a different...
The 2 mamas...mama 1 (in the door way) is sitting on eggs, while mama 2 has the baby...You can see the baby in pic 2 poking out from under the wing....lol they were very upset I got too close. I can hear more chirping...not sure if another has hatched or still in egg....very sweet mamas.
Oh too cute!!! Love the pics! I hope more eggs hatch also....they seem very determined and are getting along great so I will just have to wait and see!
I have 2 phoneix bantam hens and a roo. One of my hens went broody....I let her keep 5 eggs that I marked and continued to take the others away. Well a few days ago I noticed the other hen began sitting and sleeping in the box with her. Last night a baby hatched. Now I'm noticing the amazing...
Last month we got 8 hatched out of 13 eggs. This time I did 20 eggs....all polish and bantam phoenix. I have 16 hatched so far and a couple more I can see moving around. Yesterday I took most of them out of the bator into the brooder box. I left 6 behind to finish drying. This morning they are...
Hi all! I have 20 eggs due to hatch tomorrow!!!! Several polish eggs and some bantam phoenix. I have a question!! I would love to hatch some bantam polish eggs....does any one know where a good place to buy is or who might have them??? Thanks!!!
My brother gave this lil' hen to my daughter because his large hens picked on her. I have 3 bantam phoenix's so I put her with them. She is full grown and is much smaller than the others. She looks like a dove.lol any idea what she is? lays very small white eggs.

3 polish
2 australorp/polish mix
2 RIR/polish mix
1 bantam phoenix
Just wondering this....my kids want to incubate some eggs. My rooster is a black polish with a black top hat. (some white feathers) I have 2 black austrolorp hens, a RIR, a gold laced polish, and Just got 3 amberlinks. What would be the best to incubate. What would these mixes turn out to be...
That's what I've been told! No one else mimics "him" they are all very skittish still...some will take food from my hand ..but that same lil' yellow one tries and tries to get closer...tonight while feeding them he actually jumped to my shoulder and just sat there watching the others. They were...
awww.... I just bought 6 jersey giants... (2-3 days old) a few days later a friend bought me a couple bantam babies (2-3 days old) they are super tiny compared to the giants but I put them together to see how it goes and they are doing fine! Not sure with yours being much younger tho....good luck!
I have a flock of 9....they are about a year old. I got them when they were about 6 wks old. We decided to expand our flock and went to the local feed store and bought 8 babies...they said maybe 2-3 days old. I've had them about a week and can already tell the difference in them even though...
I had several chickens die suddenly about 6 months ago. All with the same symptoms. Lethargic, not walking or stumbling, death. All of my others have been fine, til lately. I have a 1 yr old hen that started acting lethargic. I separated her immediately not knowing again what was wrong. She...
I posted earlier about a sick chicken...yes shes still sick but hanging in there for now. Local feed store said to get Tylan 50 antibiotic and inject in breasts of chickens...not just the sick one but all. Well...gave all chickens 1cc injection Tylan...about 10 minutes later they all act...
She is still hanging in there for now. I got some Tylan 50. Gave all the other chickens plus her the injection in the breast..(what we were told to do) I can get her to drink but still not eat. She won't keep her eyes open for long...but I can make her get up and move around some...she is just...
Thanks! I took her out of the coop in case she is contagious. None of the others are showing symptoms. She is warm in her own box for now. Still has the discolored comb and wattles. Breathing doesn't seem as harsh. When I touch her she raises her back end ??? but leaves her head lying still. I...
I have a flock of 9...all different breeds...a couple days ago one of my girls started acting a little lethargic. Was still eating and drinking and running around with the others. She roosted last night, but this morning she doesn't want to move. Not eating...she will take a drink of water...
