    Learning to identify bantam breeds from chicks

    I have been thinking a lot about eventually starting a bantam flock or just getting a few. While I can absolutely order which bantams I would prefer, I love to look at the mixed bantam bin at the farm store and always fall in love with a few. I am pretty good at identifying or at least narrowing...

    Bantam babies

    Can anyone tell me what breed of bantams these are by chance? Also if the yellow one looks like a frizzle or if it just has some messed up wings 😂 All the brown with silver are the same chicks and all the pics of the yellow one are the same chick! Thanks in advance!

    So I got myself 10 old English bantam hatchlings that will be a week old tomorrow. I ordered the blood DNA tests for them (actually got 11, thanks for throwing in an extra!) and today I went to clip their toenails. I steeled myself to hurt my sweet little babies, I clipped one chick's nail to...

    Hi, I'm new here!

    I have kept quail for 3 years but I'm new to chickens. This year I got 5 brahma bantam chicks which are now 1 month old. I have been the sole person feeding them, doting on them, and talking to them since they hatched. I've read that this breed can be a little sketchy but my chicks are totally...

    What are these Assorted Bantam Chick Breeds?

    Hello so 2-3 weeks ago we had gotten 6 bantam chicks since we already have 2 bantam frizzle chickens, and 4, 7-8 week old silkie chicks. We got them at tractor supply and they didn’t have a list of the bantam breeds but they are assorted, I should’ve asked while there but was wondering you guys...

    When to wean mixed flocks off heat lamp?

    Hello, we are currently raising about 100 baby chicks, of various ages, and I was wondering when we should start to wean them off the heat lamps? We're raising them indoors in DIY brooders with heat lamps. I think our youngest chicks are about 2 weeks old and our oldest are probably hitting 5 to...

    Gasping chick

    Yesterday I hatched 2 bantam chicks for the first time using a incubator. The second chick pecked a hole and then had a rest for 2 hours or so then hatched within 30mins however the first chick found it very difficult to hatch and barely took a break as I watched them closely. He struggled for a...

    Bantam Question...

    Do Bantams generally grow & mature at a slower rate? I know they have to have warmer brooder temps than our "full size" chicks, but they just don't seem to have grown even a little in 3 weeks. This isn't our first time brooding Bantams, but I just don't recall them being so far behind in...
