This may be WAY off, but my guess is Dutch Game Bantam/Polish. It would be an unusual mix, but I’ve never seen anything that looks like these birds, either.
I was really happy with how it turned out! My wife was having a couple of smaller ones done the week before. I was so impressed with his work, that I brought it up to him. He cut me an amazing deal because he just really wanted to tattoo a chicken on someone!
No diaper, but she’s mostly housebroken and we have hard floors throughout the house anyway. She goes in and out with the dogs when they do their business, and as we all know, dogs love to clean up if she goes on the floor. Haha.
I have a (nearly) 5 year old Dutch Game Bantam named Enzo. She’s a house chicken. I’ve had her since she was 3 days old, and she is the most interesting, cuddly, funny, bossy, feisty pet I’ve ever known. She pushes the 90lb dog around when she wants to remind the rest of the animals that this is...
Blue’s tail feathers are coming in quite nicely. The camera doesn’t pick up the iridescence of his ridiculously shiny feathers. He’s also SUPER cuddly. Still doesn’t know how to chicken. Still afraid of the dark. Oh well...
Mine get to spend a pretty decent amount of time in the backyard, so it’s not really an issue. We have a covered back porch with a concrete slab, which helps keeps the nails in pretty good shape. Blue, however (in addition to being afraid of the dark), doesn’t like outside very much, so I might...
It’s kind of half & half. Mine tend to hang with us as long as we’re up, though they’re usually falling asleep in someone’s lap around 9-ish, or have made a comfy spot on the couch until it’s time to go back into the coop. Oh, and Blue (our 3 month old Mosaic Rooster) is afraid of the dark(!!!)...
Well, I guess I’ve gotta chime in! This is Blue, my (nearly) 6 week old.
I’m holding onto hope that she’s a she, but I’m pretty sure that hope is just denial. Anyway, I’m gonna call Blue a she until I know otherwise.
She was hatched (and immediately rejected) by Enzo, my broody Dutch Game...
I’ve been keeping house chickens for about 5 or 6 years now. They are an absolute joy, and I’ll probably never go without them. I had asthma as a kid, and my wife has always had it, but you know what? Her asthma has actually gotten better since we moved in together, and I’ve had zero issues...
