Help!!
Three days ago I noticed my bantam cochin rooster was a little squinty looking. I had just cleaned out their pens so I assumed it was because of the dust. Then yesterday he still looked a little squinty but then he was limping. I picked him up and discovered he had scaly leg mites and...
Hey there! I got these bantam babies about a month ago. Needing some help on identifying. The orange one was given to me, wasn't sure if he'd make it or not. Thank you! 😊
I bought 4 bantams today that are supposedly females. I was able to determine that 2 are Mille Fleur d'Uccle and a Sebright. This little one, Google couldn't recognize what breed. It kept telling me different standard breeds that they weren't even selling. I'm hoping someone can help tell what...
2 days ago we had an Old English Bantam Hen hatch out 4-5 chicks and she is very protective of them. This is the first chicks born on our farm. We have had ducks and geese for a decades.
I scooped her and her chicks and put them in a rabbit hutch thinking it would be more protection and easy...

Fresh, fertile hatching eggs from our purebred flock of Black Mottled and Blue Mottled bantam Cochin chickens. I test for fertility weekly and so far the hens are laying well and fertility is looking great! These beautiful little birds are very docile and make excellent pets. The...
A fox got to my flock (3 faverolles, a brahma, and 3 silkies) and now there is only one small 3yr old frizzle silkie left :( It's so sad to see her all alone and we want to get her some friends asap. I'm thinking of bantams so they're a similar size, I don't want her to be picked on by larger...
Can anyone tell me what breed this chick might be? It was in a bin labeled Americana but they don’t have feathered feet. And they’re SUPER feathered. Grey on top and lighter underneath. Pretty fuzzy wings too.
Hi, All!
I did find Bantam Easter Egger chicks online, but they don't do as well with shipping as regular sized chicks, apparently, because I keep losing the ones I got day by day despite giving them more heat than is required and despite they are eating and drinking fine (included in their...
First time chicken owner. I have five hens of all different breeds. I have two bantams and three full size chickens. One of my bantams has no issues with bullying, one of my bantams seems to be on the bottom of the pecking order.
When I let them free range in my yard, four of them stay together...
Hello chicken friends! 9 months ago I found some baby chicks. Are there any bantam experts out there who might know what breed they are?
From what I can find online, my best guess is Dutch Bantam but that seems like a rare breed and I don't think I would be so lucky to find two of them on the...
Hello, poultry friends! Two years ago I volunteered to care for a neighbor's bantam flock while she was on vacation. It turned out to be a TRAP!!!
Fast forward two years and now I'm catering to the whims of 8 hens, one golden marshmallow (we think it's a rooster cuz it crows at 4:30am every...

Green Queen Bantam cockerel, 13 weeks old. Had Marek’s vaccine and raised from day old. Very sweet chicken who loves pets and being held, but sadly cannot have roosters here.
Hi! Been a while since I've been here lol. So, I have a flock, still of course. One of which is a mama, Bambi, and her new chicks. She had been disappearing for a few days, and we finally found out where she was going. Lo and behold, I found her in our abandoned garden outside the backyard...
Please tell me she is not a boy!! I already got one surprise rooster. To be fair his combs are much more developed than hers (he is a Welsummer, same age), but the redness under her chin is stressing me out. Do you guys think male or female???
I bought three old English game bantam chickens and im wondering what colours they are!! Heres the pictures of them the last picture (opal) i don’t have a good picture of her so i will go out and take a better one!! Thank you
We appreciate all the kind replies to our posts! We're so happy to be able to share our new backyard hobby within this community! We wanted to share our updated photos of our young flock and ask some questions about our new additions.
Over the weekend, we took a road trip to a farm where we got...
Is this normal mixed flock behavior or are they indeed very indoor temperature acclimated to the actual pancake and feathers melting point upon direct exposure to sunlight ?
Still a great possibility they are mixed with a bit of rare vampire breed poultry in my novice opinion. -
I have 2 boys that are 4 months old. They are Japanese silkies about 4 months old. Clumsy and goofy like babies, but crows like an old ford truck and is starting to mature. I took them in from a farm where its illegal to have roosters. I thought theyd be ok with me in the meantime but they went...
