  1. Dandelion and Clover

    DCH Itty Bitty Flock

    Just some pictures of the other 2. For reference if anyone else has my bad bantam luck. Twix has very obvious saddle feathers. His neck is starting to redden up. Reeses has moved in with our blind Speckled Sussex. (I changed water one night when putting them to bed and forgot to shut the...

    DCH Itty Bitty Flock

    I assumed but wanted some pros to weigh in. 4 of 4 Cockerels. My Bantam Luck!
  3. Dandelion and Clover

    DCH Itty Bitty Flock

    Snickers makes a raspy noise I assume is a early crow. Assumed Cockerel for awhile now. Is the blue/green/incandescent feathers on wings male coloring? So pretty.
  4. Dandelion and Clover

    DCH Itty Bitty Flock

    Another check in. Tootsie the red one is confusing us. The single darker tail feather, maybe saddle feathers - I swear they change back & forth just to mess with us. That tail & stance are screaming Cockerel. Sickle feather or just adult coloring. Ugh. No super obvious saddle feathers that...

    How did your flock annoy you today?

    I installed another roosting bar section to give my younger girls somewhere good to roost.... And we still fought over the window seat. Buttheads. That bar they are roosting on is only half-a**ed on to keep the hardware cloth over the window. Next is to (deep clean and) install scrap pieces...

    How did your flock annoy you today?

    SMH. Bad enough we sleep above the window and poop on everything but an egg!? I'm seriously impressed it stayed there. Not sure how long it was there, it was very discolored. Tossed that bad boy straight into the woods.

    DCH Itty Bitty Flock

    Thanks for learning me things! I reached out to the gal asking for at least 2 swaps. If Tootsie is a pullet, I'll probably keep Snickers. My bad bantam luck. :( Lol!

    DCH Itty Bitty Flock

    Not looking good on the pullet front. Snickers made a raspy noise this morning, sad crow? :'( Reeses had a tail feather pop up and seeing lots of green leakage. (Thanks to Ella, I was misinformed on the green tail feathers.... But other leakage) Boo! Still hoping a chance with Tootsie! Maybe.

    DCH Itty Bitty Flock

    Thanks. I was hoping I get at least two more pullets but even one of iffy at this point. This is my luck with bantams! I wish I had better age time frames for everyone to make the guessing more official.

    DCH Itty Bitty Flock

    The lady I got them from did not know exactly ages due to a few clutches hatching around same time. She seemed to have a lot going on. I got Ozzy & Kit Kat around June 18. They were fully feathered and gender was pretty easy to guess. Attached photos. The others I picked up after July 15...

    DCH Itty Bitty Flock

    The coop/run are still in progress. Two more openable windows, a viewing window for the door, and extra ventilation purchased. Need to make a roost with poop board, I've have luck before with PDZ so I'll try again. Need to put a board/step in doorway to complete deep litter. Need to get...
  12. Dandelion and Clover

    DCH Itty Bitty Flock

    They grew up with no enclosed coop so they sleep outside. I'm trying to encourage indoor sleeping but it's so nice out and I work dumb hours so I don't want to "lock" them in at night. They snuggle in a puddle, or this is new:

    DCH Itty Bitty Flock

    Super excited to share photos of my itty bitty babies. (And get confirmation on my assumptions or reality for my delusions!) I'm not exactly sure what they are, possible just random BYM bantam, possible satin "showgirls", bantam turkens, satins, I don't know or understand how all the mixes work...

    Hoover's Hatchery Rainbow 🌈 Chickens 🐔🐥

    Of my six, I'd say at least 4 are laying. I have seen a few in the nest boxes but egg size is still about the size of my Bantams so it's a guess. All appear to be pullets, just super fast to mature. They are huge and beautiful! But I don't have the healthiest birds. I wouldn't buy them again...
  15. Dandelion and Clover

    What did you do in the garden today?

    I'm mostly getting Tomato Hornworms. I'm about ready to nuc them. What has worked for you all? Like if they'd just eat one tomato they could live but they have to ruin every single one on each plant then top it before I'm ready. These jerks must die! I have never had them so bad, my old place...
  16. Dandelion and Clover

    What breeds are these chickens?

    The one with the red chest kinda look like my 'Production Blue' - The Production Blue is a cross between a Rhode Island Red and a Blue Australorp. All gray/blue looks like my sapphire gems.

    When Can You Separate Broodermates

    When I am buying "grow outs" I want them off heat... Or I'd just go buy day olds. Depending on the breed I see prices from $10-$20. I don't know if there is a logic to certain ages.
