    Hey I have a maticcoopx (20 egg) incubator, I have currently been using it just as a backup for if a broody hen abandons the nest (or leaves some eggs after the first chicks hatch). I want to attempt to incubate my bantam eggs in it now but before I do I wanted to get some information on what...

    New member looking for Bantam White Rocks in Wisconsin or available by mail. Thank you!

    Hi! We fell in love with chickens when my kids started showing in 4H about 15 years ago. Our all time favorite named Sugar is a 6 year old White Rock bantam hen. Sugar is that old soul who when anyone picks her up they immediately feel peace and fall in love with her like our family. We have...

    Bantam & Standard Cochin gender?

    Hi all - any guesses at gender on these two. Not entirely sure how old. I think the calico bantam is around 6-7 weeks and I think the blue standard Cochin is maybe 7 weeks. TIA

    TSC bantam bin chicks

    I got these from TSC in a bin labeled as “silkie” which is clearly incorrect. I believe they are bantam Cochins but I’m not sure of the colors. I think the brown one is partridge and the light yellow one’s wing feathers seem to be buff. The last two have us stumped but we’ve narrowed it down to...

    Bantam breed guesses!

    Hi guys :frow I bought a dozen mille fluer d'uccle eggs and as they started to hatch I realized pretty quickly that these were NOT d'uccle. The seller said they're mille fluer color and that's where the confusion happened, but I'm not buying it. Any guesses as to what these might be or might end...

    Hoovers Hatchery bantam identification

    Four weeks old now. We had three other bantams from that assorted bantam bin at a local small farm store that managed to get one shipment from Hoovers hatchery before they stopped sending chicks out. All three passed away. This is the only one to survive. So sad. I want to say it’s an OEGB...

    Family Farm and Home Assorted Bantam ID

    I picked up 3 bantams a few weeks ago from the assorted bantam bin. They are starting to feather out and am curious if anyone can ID what these could be. My photos aren’t the best.

    Mystery Banty?

    I just got four new Bantams from the local Costal (I believe they supply from Meyers hatchery). I’ve never seen a chick like this before and can’t ID it, I had a similar case with my chicken Petra and she’s an EE so I’m assuming that’s what this little guy is. What’s your guy’s opinion on breed...
