My Columbian Wyandotte Bantam 6 M/O pullet suddenly began to sit all the time. Upon closer examination, I found that she could barely walk, taking very short steps, and seemingly on her tip toes. She goes about 3 ft. and has to sit. She is eating and drinking but I don't know what to do to...

One of my Old Eng. Game Bantams made a nest in one of my large flower pots outside. She just hatched 3 babies, and I didn't get chick starter feed; not knowing if the eggs were even fertile. Because of imminent wind/rain from Hurricane Florence I must move her to an inside coop. I cannot...

I am so excited to show off my first blue egg. The others were laid by a variety of bantams. I had read a number of threads that had negative remarks about this breed, such as "small eggs", "no color", "green", or "very pale". Thus my excitement upon finding this egg today. My hens are only...

I have 3.5 M/O OEGB and 2.5 M/O Seramas that are eating feathers they find in the runs that were previously occupied. Is there something missing in their diet? I recently changed from the 20% protein Starter to the 14% Grower & Finisher; both by Dumor. This was done on the advice of another...

I have 9 bantams, Spanish black with white face, 10 w/o. About 3 days ago I noticed they weren't drinking or eating much. Upon watching them closer, I noticed that some of them were lethargic; ie. sitting with humped back, sleeping......then the combs turned a death yellow. Even 1 of the...

I had 9 of this breed who seemed to be growing and doing well. Yesterday I noticed one lying on the coop floor, which they do often to rest after scratching and wallowing. Later, he had not moved, so I looked inside and he was limp. He was totally emaciated; skin over bone. The crop was...

I still have 10 OE bantams inside the house just 'cause I think they're cute.... Well, I have heard a noise coming from their direction several times. This morning I caught this 4.5 wk. old fella in the act. He was crowing! Isn't he a bit young? :confused: .

We've had nice weather here in SC. I had baby chicks that I ordered inside my house. What a mess! I had to get them out! My sister and I frantically built a "shabby shack" coop with only a heat type lamp with a 75W bulb for warmth. Needless to say, the coop has some cracks here & there...

I'm excited to be a member now! I have a problem that some of you have experienced too. One of my 2 wk. old Polish Crested chicks has a problem in the anal area. He poops large clumps, and the opening is large and red. I have given warm water baths, and even smeared Preparation H on the...
