    Quirky OEG bantam

    Cicely is about 15 months old, been broody 3 times, hatched whatever eggs were around and raised very good free range birds. Anyway, she "weaned" her current chicks at 10 weeks when the little cockerel started trying to crow ( they are inadvertently able to be sexed based on color and pattern...

    Silkie or Silkie/Polish cross?

    These chicks hatched June 9th. I know it's way too early to tell what the genders are, so I'm not thinking about that yet. I am curious about coloring/breed though. The pen these two came from have a splash silkie hen, black silkie hen, buff laced hen, mottled cochin. We also have silkie roos...

    Sablepoot - what age do you think?

    I brought home this little one along with some other bantams the other day, she seems a lot younger than the others and was wondering what age she might be? I know what the breeder told me (a large, commercial place, not hobby breeder) but I'm thinking they maybe made a mistake on ages? She's a...

    Frizzle Roo or Pullet?

    This is my 11 week old frizzle Cochin Mille Fleur chick. The comb is smaller than my other roosters that hatched at the same time and this one doesn’t crow at all. I’m leaning roo but the pix from the breeder she has some hens with large combs so idk 🤷🏼‍♀️.

    Bullied Bantam!

    I bought a group of day old and was reassured that bantams and large fowl could live together. I got three bantams and an Orpington. Sadly, the Orpington and one of the bantams aren't around anymore and one of the bantams turned out to be a cockeral! The bantam cockeral doesn't seem to jump on...

    Golden sebright chicks.

    I rescued a male and female golden sebright. They are said to be 3yrs old. The male is male feathered. Which I’ve been told makes him “hatchery quality” which is fine by me I don’t intend to show birds. I hatched 4 of their eggs, because I just love them. Two of the chicks seem to look more...

    Deworming and other things(?) for Bantams

    Hello! My hens(2 OEGBs) are healthy and don't show any signs of illness. However, I've just learned that I should be deworming them regularly for prevention of infestation.

    Weird Behaviour in Bantam hen

    Hi all, I noticed this afternoon that one of my banties was standing in the middle of the garden, not moving, with her tail down and looking for all the world like she was roosting save for the fact she was in the middle of the garden on her own in 17°(c) heat. She hasn't really been leaving...
