I can't figure it out. She's a bantie and very cuddly.

Good morning, all, and Happy Holidays! My one of my eight bantams (7 months old) has a cough/sneeze that seems to be getting worse. No other symptoms, she is eating and drinking as usual. I keep the coop clean (they were confined to the coop for 5 days because it was so frigid outside) and...

Good morning. My little bantam, now six months old, was the first of her flock to begin laying - eight beautiful blue eggs a good month before the others. Since then she has not laid a single good eggs, but she HAS laid several rubber eggs while in the roost and yesterday I could tell she was...

Hi, all. I have 22 week old bantams. Two weeks ago one Easter egger laid her first eggs, 5 over 10 days. Then all of a sudden she stopped. No egg now for an entire week. She sits in the nest boxes for hours but...nothing. Tonight I noticed a little white discharge at her vent. She is...

Hi, all. I have a crippled banty (19 weeks old). When she arrived at two days old, she had one leg that was a little lame but she could hobble around on the other one. As she has grown, the lame leg and foot are completely useless to her, in fact the leg is oftentimes out at an angle to her...

I am a newbie chick owner, got a flock of day old bantams last May. They are now 16 weeks old. Can you help identify these three? I think the buff colored one might just be a roo. what do you think? thanks[/IMG][/IMG] Thanks so much for the buff brahma info. I'm glad she's a girl! Here is...

Good morning, all. I wanted to share my coop photos with you - I copied the adorable "Hennebunkport" design I found on this site, but altered the size a little. My coop is 8X8. Tomorrow (July 4th) my 7 week old bantams, all 9 of them, will be moving into their new home. I...

Hi, all. My first banty chicks are being shipped in less than a month now! I am working on the run, using hardware cloth for the fencing and top, including a 24 inch shirt around the outside to prevent digging predators. My question is how do I protect the bottom of the human door entering...

Hi, all. I'm pretty much finished with my new coop (I'll post photos when I'm done) and am reading everything I can get my hands on about chickens, in preparation for getting my first small flock next spring. I know I want bantams, but I'm going to raise the flock with my grandsons and want...

I'm getting 6 or 8 chickens in the spring to raise with my grndsons. I want really friendly, small birds that are cold hardy (Maine winters!). After doing research, I decided Bantam Cochins were the perfect birds for us, but reading deeper, I see a number of people say their feet are always...

Last night when I got home, one of my 8 guinea hens was lame, her foot was curled up and she would't move - wouldn't eat or drink. I had to leave her today to go to work. What could have caused it? What should I do? I raised all 8 of them from day old chicks. Any help would be much...
