I am wondering— are these chicks just considered a barnyard mix being a free range (free breeding) chicken? They wouldn’t be considered a satin Silkie? Any info or thoughts appreciated. First time hatching something other than Silkies

I’ve been searching to figure it out for a little. I’m not sure if I’ll find their breed soon, 😔👊💥

Help!! We have three sebright bantams but we are unsure if one is a roo, two of the three are smaller in size and have almost no comb at all, while the third one, (the one furthest right) is larger then the other two and has a comb already coming in. Is it too early to tell or are their signs of...

hi! i have a little bantam rooster and two buff orpington hens and am trying to breed them. but even tho one of my orpingtons has a cluch of 12 eggs she still wont sit on them. does this mean her eggs are not finalized? and if so can a bantam rooster even mate with buff orpington hens?

HI everyone! I got some Misc. Bantam chicks (that's how they were sold) and I wondered if anyone can tell me what breed they might be? They are about 3 weeks old and are super sweet Please forgive my dirty fingernails I was working in my greenhouse!

My 1 yo rooster has been acting sick lately so I decided to pick him up and noticed a bump on his back close to the wing area. It’s a black bump and somehow has a feather or two growing on it? He sleeps on the roosts if that helps. I’m leaning towards it being a tumor because I’ve had some...

So, I had 5 old english game bantams in the incubator, hatch day is today. Today 3 of the 5 hatched. Just a few minutes ago the 4th hatched but it has a little bit of yolk sac still exposed. The chick is acting fine and it hatched completely on its own. I am going to leave it in the incubator...

My Old English Game Bantam Coops!

Hello! I got another Serama hen almost 2 months ago and she has been molting her feathers. She is the smallest Serama I’ve had but her flight feathers seem big enough to clip, what do y’all think? I have to clip her wings to let her free range as she is an extremely good flyer and we have...

Hi! I have two bantam babies that I'd like help identifying breeds. They have no leg feathers. #1 is mostly very light yellow/white. #2 is white with soft gray parts. Thanks for your help!

I have a pair of Wheaton Old English Game Bantams. They will be shown separately. Im wondering if they will possibly do good in a county fair. They will be shown as small rooster, small hen breeds. Just wondering if they would place(6 places in each small rooster and six possible places in small...

Hi, I'm just wondering what offspring you get when you breed a Lavender to a blue, splash, or black because I am getting a lavender frizzle Silkie chick and I have some different color hens for him/her to breed with when him/her is older. :)...

One of my Silkie pullets has recently shown himself to be a rooster and now I'm concerned that my Polish may be as well. It's starting to develop some redness in its lower comb which seems a bit early and my confirmed roo has been beating on it pretty hard in a way he doesn't do with the other...

I have a Cochin Bantam Cockerel that I can no longer keep. He is very tame and healthy. He is a year old and I bought him along with some hens in a nusery [Magnolia Bird Farm].
