My almost year old bantam cochin has been in a small crate and is still broody for a week now. The crate is up on bricks and has a metal cookie rack on the bottom, no bedding. I have a 2x4 for her to roost on. She has food and water in it. She doesn't roost on the 2x4, she sits on the grate...

One of my pullets laid a soft shelled egg yesterday an I thought I'd just show anyone who's never seen one...I'd never seen one either. They've just been laying for about a month now so I'm chalking it up to a new layer glitch in the system. They have plenty of calcium available, are not...

My bantams are 29 weeks old and FINALLY one of them gave me an egg! So excited! It's from one of my EE bantams, Pearl. She's been fluffing up the nest box material for a few days and squatting for about a week or so.

It's going to be -7 degrees tonight. I have 4 bantams in a 6 x 3 coop, raised off the ground. Will they be ok? 3 EEs and 1 Cochin. I have a calibrated hygrometer in the coop and there is no problem there. They've been fine down to 4 degrees already. I have ordered a coop heat plate from...

Is it ok to put a glass mirror in with bantams? I'd hate to have them peck hard enough at it to break it. The one I have is framed in wood, about 18" x 24" with a chain to hang it from. A neighbor was throwing it out so I'm fine with not using it.

I'm new to chickens and I have five 4-week old bantam chicks. 3 EE's, 1 Cochin, and 1 Polish Crested. I just realized the other chicks have been pecking at the back of the Polish's head (her name is Amber). The back of her head is bare of feathers but still has stubbs like they're being...

Hi! I'm new to chickens. My daughter, BBZZZZTT on BYC, ordered 5 chicks and was sent 7. Our city only allows 4, so I'm getting the extra 3! I will have 2 Easter Eggers and a Welsummer. They are 4 weeks old now and I'll actually get them at my house when they are big enough to stay outside...
