She was sold as a "Tried and True Bantam" at the farm store. We thought maybe a Welsummer bantam or some kind of Old English game? Not sure though. If anyone has any ideas they would be much appreciated! Thanks!
This is my one rooster from all of the rescue birds I took in this year, I found him in a box with a ton of silkies and one little Cayuga duckling about six weeks ago. They were all sick but he, a black Silkie, and the Cayuga survived. He’s obviously Silkie (5 toes and hyper melanated) but mixed...
Hi guys,
I am new to the forum and new to game bantams as well, used to have large Brahma and Araucana chickens :)
I currently have 4 modern game chicks, 2 of three weeks and 2 of five weeks old.
I am trying to look for signs of gender, as the general interwebs seems to be rather void of...
Hello everyone! I have a rooster that I hatched out about 5 months ago, and I have no clue what breed he is. I got him in a mixed batch of bantam eggs. Can y’all help me identify his breed?
(also, I’m new to this site and I hope I did this correctly)
So I was at the sale barn today selling some birds and I was selling some of my BBs and one of my roosters was dubbed. It had a lot of people talking. I got my BBs last year at another sale barn and the rooster was like that when I bought them. What’s yalls opinion on dubbing birds?

Can anyone tell me why her...
We found Uncle Sam on the 4th of July just down the road from our house. Someone was obviously not concerned about his well-being and was OK with any fate he got. So we gave him a home with our small flock of only girls (full size!) and he was so happy! Anyway, he was nabbed by a opossum a few...
Hey y’all, I’m very inexperienced when it comes to breeding since all I’ve ever hatched was a clutch of Gold Duckwing OEGB’s and a clutch of Brown Red Ameraucanas. I have a handful of OEGB’s and I’m having a hard time finding a pair for my Fawn Silver Duckwing OEGB cock and I have Blue Wheaten...
Recently I purchase an OEGB rooster from a breeder at a show, however when I was transporting him home I noticed clear liquid streaming from his nostrils and his beak. I figured it was probably the stress of being at the show all weekend and then being put in a cage in the car for a couple of...
