We just moved to Edmond from Duncan. We were only allowed 3 hens...well thanks to local farm stores we had roos, which were a no-no. Luckily, we knew several country folk who didn't mind a new roo here n there. We currently have 10 large ladies, 2 bantam hens, and I went to a swap meet and...
We are just finishing up with week two of raising our first chicks. We only have four, as we live in town and wanted them to have more than enough space to be comfortable. Two Saturdays ago, the trip to Tractor Supply was made and we excitedly picked out two little yellow banties (which I...
Good afternoon! More TSC bantams await your breed guesses below.
Chick #1 - This one is a week old. Previous guesses were Wyandotte OR blue rosecomb. Is the breednarrowed down at all now based on the development?
Chick #2 - Silkie. White or buff?
Chick #3 - I think Polish. What color...

I realized my Silkie is actually very small compared to my other Silkies. I also realized today that she's actually scared of my Buff Orphington Bantam so that's why she hides in a corner/behind the dog house all day. I'm scared she doesn't eat...

Hey I am trying to breed my Jap bantams. I put some eggs in the incubator and they look infertile wondering how to make my rooster fertile. I have seen him try to mate but no eggs are fertile any advice? Thanks!
So I've now read that adding bantams to an established flock can work and can NOT work. Curious what you all out there think about my situation: My established flock consists of 6 total, including 1 very nice Roo (a Blue Laced Wyondotte), 1 Blue Laced Wyondotte (hen), 1 Buckeye, 1 Dark Brahma, 1...
I have a case of planning fever! I designed some "Blueprints'' for coop remodels. This won't happen until March at the earliest.

Hi chicken lovers,
I just hope to get some advice from your bank of knowledge on bantam breeds.
I'm a new chicken keeper, I had chickens as a kid but not for nearly 30 years! I have 2 silkie hens and a silkie rooster right now, all 18 weeks and I got them at a day old so they are very settled...
Hello, I am a new chicken mom from Oklahoma! :) I have 4 bantams: a Buttercup rooster, a Svart Hona hen, a black colored Silkie rooster, and a buff colored Silkie hen. We also have 2 ducks, 2 cats, and 3 dogs...
hello all! I’m from Illinois where winters get pretty cold. However, I have successfully merged isa Browns (full size) and silkies (bantams)! They cuddle together in the coop, they lay together in the same spot, and roam the yard together during the day for fun. The full size keep the silkie...
I have both layers and Bantams. Most are coming out of molt now. My American Anaconda has the worst molt. She was all pin feathers, looked terrible. They feather out quite quickly. I may bring them back into laying by using a light that has to be in the sun during the day and put inside at...
Hi, I have 1 young silkie pullet (I think) that I have only had for about 2 weeks that I bought in a pullet pair but the other one has passed away, but I feel my silkie is lonely so I have found a little bantam hen that is up for sale due to being picked on by the rest of the other chickens. I...
So I have flocks of different kinds of ducks. They all do fine during winter except for my Aussie Spot bantams and I am trying to figure out why and what they need different from my standard size ducks.
I keep my Aussie Spots separate from the chickens and large ducks.
My bantam ducks thrive...
Lots of questions!
A.
Do the normal rules for making sex links found here apply to bantams?

And, if anyone feels like reading this huge list,

does anyone know if any of these would make sex link or even feather link...
