    New Member from Utah - Introduction

    Can’t figure out why they are dying.

    Hi all, I am so sad, I’ve lost three chicks today and another is on the way out. I cannot figure out what is wrong! Several weeks ago I had a hen that didn’t come out of the coop, I thought she was just broody so I left her alone. I checked on her later that day and she looked asleep but her...

    Looking for some bantams

    Hi, I'm Mikelle. I've been around a lot of chickens, but this will be my first attempt at keeping them. Would love to find a bantam breed that is a high egg producer. My home is in the mountains of southeastern Oklahoma, around Poteau. Any advice is welcome. Thanks.

I was wondering if anyone knew how long it would take for them to start laying? And also does anyone have any advice...

    Serama / bantams with regular sized chickens

    I was thinking about getting some seramas or bantams. However I’ve never owned any just regular sized chickens. So the question is can the seramas cohabitate with the bigger chickens or do they need their own area and coop? thanks 😊

    What Breed are these Bantams?

    Hey fellow chicken parents, I recently bought a batch of mixed bantams. I’m very curious about these two because it seems they are the same breed, due to their tails and wings. (Their tails usually stick up straight.) First I thought they may be Seramas or Sebrights, but now I’m not so sure...
