1 or 2 started laying 20SEP2019. pick up only. Beautiful culls from a show flock, bit too much white in primaries. Live in rabbit hutch. Will switch to layer feed next week. Not handled much but easy to tame. Males should be brought into your garage or basement during freezing nights or...

Looking to know what breed these bantam chickens are. Only have 1 picture rn.

Any guesses on my two Silkies, Barred Rock and I assume a Cochin or Brahma bantys? The white silkie doesn't have a comb showing yet but has some hair-do going on. The black or blue? (not sure the difference) one has more of a comb showing from what I can tell. I know Silkies are hard to sex and...

I had 5 chicks hatch May 25 of this year. I have had zero problems with them until yesterday. I believe they have coccidiosis and I will explain why later in this post. When I noticed them acting lethargic I started Corid treatment, mixing it in their water and I left them alone to drink it. I...

I do not know if I need to put this in a different forum or what but I am thinking about ordering some bantam chicks through a hatchery online next spring. I saw they can't vaccinate against marek's disease. Is there a reason they can't? Can I buy the vaccinations online and vaccinate the...

It’s summer time here when egg production should be higher. I have a mama hen and a rooster and their two baby hens (all bantams) that just started their first laying season this year. They have been laying eggs like crazy all spring. A couple weeks ago my mama hen started showing signs of going...

Hello all!!! Thanks in advance for all the help you all have given me already just by browsing the site. My husband and I are only a few years into our small flocks. But ourselves and our two children have become obsessed with the our backyard farm and haven’t looked back. We have seven...

We have too many in our flock and need to downsize. New Hampshire red, buff Orpington, black australorp, silkies, bantams, Dixie rainbows... All about two and a half months old. In the Lee's summit/Warrensburg area.

Bianca (Old English bantam) has started crowing! We can’t have Roosters- this has caused our little white Silkie to realize this is possible and now it is growing along with him. Given that they are bantams it isn’t loud, but still... We would love to try to find a home for them before they...

I used to sell bantam speckled Sussex’s a few years back I’m now back into selling bss and I’m wondering how much I should charge for them! I used to sell hatching eggs for 10 a piece is that to much or not enough? Also how much should I charge for chicks started pullets etc? I would love any...

Is it okay to have bantams in the same coop as regular sized chickens? Will the bantams get picked on?

Hi there! I am a mom/preschool teacher/doctoral student who has been keeping backyard chickens for about 11 years.
