bantam

I am OBSESSED with bantams. 😬 I need to have them in all colors, shapes & styles! I even had to get some babies that I didn't have a few weeks ago. lol My only problem right now is that I can't find anything that (is on the cheaper side) they can't slip out of to take them outside! My husband...

Hello Everyone. First time Chicken owner here and have been feeling like quite the idiot the past few weeks. I recently purchased some chicks from my local TSC. I should have payed more attention, but that is my own fault, as I was going after “unique” and “pretty” chickens. I need help...

This is very bizarre. So I have one hen that had her chicks hatch at least two weeks ago. She's been walking around with them happy as can be. However, there was another hen who was broody at the same time, and continued trying to sit on the eggs until yesterday (I was removing the eggs from...

Any ideas about what breed this bantam is? They were just sold as "bantam". Also, any ideas about if they're a pullet or cockerel? It's about 6 weeks old, and its a little feisty with the other chicks! Still very sweet, just definitely the boss. Thanks for any help identifying this lil one!

This 3 week old bantam has little guy sydrome BAD (not the feather legged one). Idk what to do with him/her. I'm running out of room and want to put everyone together that are around the same age (slow introductions of course) but he/she will NOT allow it. Let's call this bantam HULK for now...

Hi, I have 4 silkies all about 10 weeks old. I think #4 is a girl because her wattle and comb are under developed compared to the others. Any thoughts about the others, all boys? Thanks.

This baby is about 8 weeks almost 9 weeks old and I'm stumped as to what breed she is. Is there anyone that could tell me? She's a bantam breed that's all I know

Looks like the flock of baby chickens is growing and always a good idea to keep a heating lamp that for a while until you notice they don't need it anymore. I am loaded with a variety oh baby chicks from Rhode Island red, Wyandotte, Plymouth Rock, Bantam, and the majority of them are Australorp...

I got 2 new babies to add to my bantam flocks! I have some Delawares & Barred Rocks, but I felt like I needed something new to break up the black & white theme. 😅 Any ideas on what breeds they may be? They both have "pants" & are ridiculously fluffy. I can get better pictures of the little...

Hi there! I bought these Bantams from a mixed bin and was just looking to get help identifying breed and gender. They're about 5 weeks old now. Thanks!

Hi I bought two cuckoo maran bantam pullets in mid February. When I got there the seller had lost my order and presumably sold all the good stock because he only had one with a completely bald bottom and one with only three tail feathers left. The seller told me they would grow back in a...

I recently purchased an assortment of 9 feather footed bantam chicks from tractor supply (I think they source from hoover hatchery) but I can't figure out what breeds most of them are. I would appreciate help:) I know #'s 2,3,4 are silkies, but not the varieties. and I think 8 and 9 are either...

I got 4 bantam today from tractor supply. What breed are these? We are obsessed with all of our bantams 🥰. ThAnk you in advance! Melissa Ps. They got into the water trough.

My little man back in 2021! He has since passed but he was a sweet little OEGB!

About 2 months ago he got into a fight with a rooster much bigger than him and shortly after became introverted, seemingly getting something akin to a cold or sinus infection (Corzya?) and couldn’t crow correctly. We gave him antibiotics in his mouth, made sure he got electrolytes, and he...

I went to tractor supply and picked up what I thought were black copper marans but obviously they are not. Do you think they are cuckoo marans? I also got some bonus bantam chicks they offered me and I have no idea what they are. I was hoping the gold one was a sebright since I already have some...

I have a Three day old check, with splayed leg, and a watery eye. The chick hatched on Sunday. On Sunday, I realized that this baby had splayed leg. I made a brace for this baby with vetwrap. His movement was still not good. So I tried to give her some electrolytes. I put her in a separate...

This is a white bantam and its a pullet. Just wanted to know what kind of bantam breed it is because i know theres many kinds of it.

I have this little clean legged white chick I got from tsc assorted bantams about 1.5 weeks ago. I thought she was a white oegb, but she is getting some grey on the wings. Is she an OEGB and what color?
