bantam

So, I bought some top quality breeder birds (Wyandotte bantams) from a well known breeder. He won 5th best bird in a show of 10,600 birds at Ohio Nationals last year. The birds I got are offspring of that winning bird. They are great birds and are filling out very nicely. I noticed though that...

I’m leaving for camp Caswell in a few weeks (WHOO HOO!!!!) and I’m wondering what I should do with my bantam.Other than my rooster she is my only bantam, the rest are rather large standards.She also has a cross beak.She will NOT get off of the ledges on the wall unless I make her.She is...

Hello everyone! I wanted to share these photos with you all. These are pictures from The National Call Breeders of America website. You can purchase actual posters of these! Hope this helps you :wee

This is my first time keeping chickens... as pets only. These are from TSC. I think I figured the one out to be booted d'uccles. I bought them on Father's Day, and he was a fuzzy chick with wing feathers already but was smaller than all the other assorted bantams. The worker said they've never...

One of our adult polish bantam chickens developed a swelling near her beak this morning. Not sure how long its been there for as I didn't closely inspect her until now (last time was maybe a few days ago?) Theres no change in behaviour and she seems to be eating and drinking well, just has this...

Taking “Boot”ed bantam to a whole new level.FYI my feet are not that big,those are my dads boots that were conveniently on the back porch.🤷🏻‍♀️😂

Howdy, I've recently gotten a pair of this little 2ish week old pullets and I'm trying to figure out what they might look like when they grow up. The piebald one I believe to be some kind of cochin because she's starting to grow feathers on her legs. The little black one I was told might be a...

Two years ago, my journey with chickens began when my ex-partner, a school teacher, got two chicks after hatching. Due to my diagnosed mental health issues, including primary insomnia, double depression, ADHD, and DID, I thought a rooster might help me wake up and build a routine. We lived in a...

Hi, So I just want to confirm at this point what everyone thinks of gender for these two? They will be 9 weeks old on Saturday, June 29th. And I have a question/need advice in regards to these two... *Self Blue Old English Bantam - Around 9 Weeks - From TSC *White Cochin Bantam - Around 9...

Meet Skid... the sweetest little chickie nugget we've ever had. Can anyone weigh in on what breed of bantam she might be? For reference... she and the other girls in the photos are all 14 weeks. That's an ISA Brown next to her. Thanks!

Does anyone know what colour this little bantam chick will turn out? Last pics are mum and dad Put some eggs in the incubator and have had some beautiful colours but really want to know what colour/what this one might look like when an adult Thanks :)

About a week ago, I hatched 3 silkie-frizzle hybrids! They are super adorable, and I can't wait till they can leave the brooder. Somehow I was dumb enough to never consider that these guys might be picked on for their size when they join the flock. I've introduced newbies before, put them in a...

I hatched these sometime in May, I wanted some other opinions on their genders. The one has a darker comb as I think I accidentally kept a Silkie in the mix with my Cochins. Either way, both are cute.

Hi Everyone, I need help with gender identification, please! Breed posted above each photo(s)! I have someone who is coming to get my 7 week old welsummer rooster, she rescues roosters and let's them free range on her acreage. So I was hoping to be able to identify other roosters as I can't...

I got this adorable bantam from tractor supply and thought maybe it was an old english grey bantam but as it grew it started to look like some type of mix!!! I need help figuring out what type it is!!

so this is Husk. She’s about 17 weeks old now and I still have no clue what she is. Her sisters are clearly a serama and a cochin, but husk looks like neither. Any ideas? Her wattles are tiny compared to the other two, her comb is small and black. Eyes are very dark, long legs but not too long...

I impulse bought these three chicks a little over a week ago at Tractor Supply. They were labeled assorted Bantams. Im still pretty new to chickens but I’ve tried to do some research and I have a guess that the brown one is a partridge Cochin but I’m not sure. Both of the darker ones have...

Hi all! I had my first broody hen and while she had 5 eggs, only one made it to hatching. I learned a lot through the experience. The broody hen was my bantam Cochin and the one egg that hatched was actually her egg! My roo is a Polish. I’m curious what you all think of this chick as I haven’t...

We’re incubating and hatching chicks it’s our first time and we hatched the first 2 successfully, i have one that i heard chirping from inside the egg so i came over to look and saw the shell had a crack in it but i haven’t heard anything and it hasn’t cracked anymore in 3 hours, the other 2...

I got this chick from an assorted bantam bin at Runnings and I'm just wondering what kind of bantam y'all think she might be? Legs are not feathered.
