    Japanese Bantam Thread!

    I'm thinking of selling all my Japanese Bantams.... I'm really wanting to switch that coop completely over to the new Red Cochin Bantams I got. I have 4 Grey JB. 1 Roo, 2 hens and a 1 Pullet. You'll have to pardon them, they are molting. I already rehomed my Black Tailed White JB about 2...

    Japanese Bantam Thread!

    I guess I should have mentioned my silkie did the brooding! This one was seperated from the coop because I have another broody silkie in the coop... and those two steal each others eggs and it becomes a terrible mess with low hatch rate So I have to move them away from each other with their...

    We have chicks!!! We ended up hatching out 2 Japanese bantams (father is Black tailed white, the hens are grey), we also ended up hatching out 2 silkies... one white, one grey. Very lucky hatch of 100%! I'm happy to say, the JB hens have the wrong color legs, but both chicks got the correct...

    Maybe a shallow dish/plate with an upside down cup in the middle so they can only get to the edges and not get in it?

    Japanese Bantam Thread!

    I just have them because I enjoy them. The idea I wouldn't be able to hatch well is sad, and I have some eggs under a broody.... but I don't care if they are typy at all. I usually only show or mess with my silkies because I understand their genes better after a couple years of research and...

    Wanted to share a picture of Ginko, he's my BTW roo. I think he looks pretty good, maybe a little too long legged, but he's shorter then my grey hens.

    I bought some of my birds from a wonderful lady in Georgia on BYC last year. Her birds are gorgeous! I lost 2 of our BTW hens to the cold this year, and my grey roo didn't go in the coop our last big snow and froze in a puddle I figured I wouldn't have had to worry about them and cold snaps in...

    I have a broody silkie, I have put 6 eggs under her.... 4 are from my Japanese Bantams (2 grey hens & a btw roo) and the other 2 are from my silkies. Can't WAIT to see what hatches out. So I may have a few chicks available, since this is just a test run.
