He is a Banty, very tiny and ROTTEN! But I love him. His name is Vector and he's about 1 year old, maybe just under. I thought he was a Seabright of some sort because he was originally just black and white but now as you can see he's a bit of everything. Any ideas?
Below are a...
So I was at a feed store and saw this ADAORABLE tiny rooster. He was young, just learning to crow. I had to have him. I figured he's just be a pretty bird to look at but he didn't seem very tame. Squaked and flapped and ran when we went to box him up. Well, I got him home and put him in his new...
I had 3 banties. One Silky, one Frizzle and one cochin. The Cochin is a roo, the other 2 are hens. They are just pets, we handle them every day. They have an enclosed outdoor enclosure and we take them in (actually physically pick them up and carry them or put them in thier box) every night...
So I have 2 banty hens and a banty rooster. One of my hens has started laying eggs but we don't know which one because no one is sitting on them. The problem here is we move our tiny flock out into the coop during the day and into a seperate pen at night. Our coop isn't 100% done so we make...
I'm not sure which hen laid it. I have 2 sweet banty hens and I found a cute little egg on the ground in thier coop. Neither was sitting on it and it was cold so I removed it. It's been about a week and no more eggs. Is this normal when they first start laying? They are both about 5 months...
My Gold Laced Cochin banty Roo Jack had a cold and was coughing and weezing pretty bad. I put him (and his hens) on antibiotics for the last week. He seems to be all better. No more coughing or weezing at all. Should I continue to treat for a few more days or should I stop? They are on Tetroxy...
My beautiful Gold Laced Banty Roo started to "cough" about a week ago. I've heard birds sneeze before but never cough. He has no other symptoms, eats, crows, clucks, poops, mates all normally. He only does it at night but it got worse over a few days so I spoke to a friend who raises chickens...
I've noticed that roosters will drop one shoulder, droop that wing and scoot sideways fluttering a little in order to....move the hens around? My sweet little Banty does it to his hens when they get too close if he's eating and shoo them away. My RIR used to do it to me before he launched an...
I have had birds of all sorts since I was little and NEVER heard one cough. I've heard plenty of sneezing but my new Cochin Goldlaced Banty Rooster makes a noise like a cough. He seems fine, healthy. Eating, mating, clucking, crowing flapping, strutting. His crow is nice and loud and robust...
So I just brought home a super sweet black cockin Roo today. I think he may be a banty cause he's tiny, about the same size as my other 2 banties and about the same age. (Who are addicting like potatoe chips!!) The first thing he did was attack and rape my silkie. He knicked her up pretty good...
I have been trying to get my fizzle banty identified as roo or hen. I usually get 50/50 still. He is about 5-6 months old now. ANY ideas? My new roo just raped the silkie nad tried to make nice with the frizzle. Have NO idea what it means
I just fell in love with this roo today. He is supposed to be a black cochin. About 5 months old. He is super sweet (with people) He actually raped my silkie today but after that seemed to ignore my other 2) He is slightly bigger then the 2 banties. Any idea if he may be mixed? Will he get...
So...Yukon is a Micky bear that I "rescued" from a second hand store. (Always wanted one but could never justify the $22+ they cost new. )Then found this one and named him Yukon. My husband and I (he is SO tolerant of my weird ideas) began taking Yukon with us everywhere and taking pictures of...
This is my sweet little Ash (Black Cochin Banty Frizzle) I've been told he MAY be a he but he is not crowing at all yet while my RIR who is a week younger crows all the time now. Ash is just about 4 months old.
What do you think?

This is Faux. I still have NO clue what sex he/she is. He's about 4 months now. No eggs, no crowing. It has been suggested that he is a she but I'd like to know for sure. I want to ad one or 2 more to my flock but I need to know what I have first. THANKS.
I just wanted to show off my Roo. He's turning out to be a good rooster. He protects his flock and has stopped being such a snot to me. He's learning to crow now and it's the cutest thing ever!
Day 1
I LOVED this portrait of him
a few days later
and now
My RIR rooster has taken to sitting on my 2 little Banties. I KNOW he's a roo cause he is just starting to crow (SO CUTE!!) They don't seem to mind. Especially when it rains. They have plenty of shelter but prefer to sit under the roo in the rain. He ends up SOAKED and the other 2 are mostly...
OK...my babies are now about 3 months or so. I'm almost posative the RIR is a Roo. Look how big he is next to the Banties! and he's younger!!
I'm pretty sure the Frizzle is a roo but NO IDEA about the Silkie.
