    Problem with bantams leg?

    My pekin bantam has recently stopped being broody (she was broody around 3 weeks to hatch out some eggs) and I have noticed alot of white feathers scattered everywhere(like ALOT of feathers), so I inspected her and her legs seem to be missing feathers (she's a pekin so her legs grow feathers) I...

    Litte Pekin Cross - Gender confused?

    Hi everyone! I got given a mamma pekin with (what looks to be pekin cross) chicks. They've been in the coop now for a while, had some serious mite treatments done first (not having been in a good state from where ever they came from) and are settled in and are growing big - but now the little...

    Treating scaly leg mites on a pekin bantam

    I have 3 female pekin bantams and they all have quite a lot of feathers on their feet. One of them has quite bad scaly leg mites and I assume the other 2 probably do. However because of feathers on their feet + them moving, it is very hard to me to cover all of the spots on their feet with...

    Sexing a 6.5 week-old Pekin bantam mix...

    Heya folks! Are we right in thinking we've got a cockerel on our hands? This is Pepys, who is very flighty still at 6.5 weeks old - a single chick, so unfortunately no comparisons available. He's also not a pure breed, so we're not absolutely certain. Pictures of the parents included below -...

    Poorly hens - mycoplasma

    I recently bought 4 hens (2 silkies, pekin bantam and polish bantam). Sadly just after a week of getting them 2 died - we thought it was a case of worms as they were gaping and only died very suddenly. The other we took to the vet and they diagnosed mycoplasma- sadly after 3 days she also passed...

    Feather loss spreading from head down body

    Hello- we have 3 peking bantam chickens who have recently started mating. The cockerel started going bald just on his head and we rang a local vet who put this down to the stress of the first mating season. He has now lost feathers all the way down his neck too. One of the hens (the smallest...

    All new mixed coop - bantams AND full size?

    We are getting 5/6 full size POL hens this weekend, all hybrid mixed breeds. No hens or roosters at the property currently. While there, I had hoped to also pick up one or two Pekin Bantams to add in with the coop at the same time. As none of the hens have lived together before, do I stand a...

    Breed Decisions...

    Hello! Just wondering, for others in the UK, I’m looking at getting a little more ‘into’ breeding and am wondering which of the following breeds you’d recommend: Wyandotte (I know it’s a common and popular breed, partially why I’ve included it, but I’d be looking at a rare colour) Pekin...

    Do these girls look healthy - 8 months old and still no eggs.

    Hi everyone. I've been wondering about my 3 pekin bantam girls for some time. I got them as day old chicks at the end of March, so they are now 8 months old. When googling around, it seems you can expect pekins to start laying between 6 and 8 months of age. They're obviously now at the later end...

    Hi 👋 I have 3 polish chickens (1 cockeral) and 2 pekin bantams. They all live together quite happily until recently we have noticed when it comes to bedtime the 2 pekins will go into the coop and sit in the door way stopping the 3 polish going in. This is a new behaviour for them. I was...

    4 week old Pekin Bantam sex?

    Hi all, I currently have 5 chicks who are all around 4 weeks old. We chose to get a few different breeds, but this has made it very difficult to sex them as we have nothing to compare to! This baby is Dumpling, a Pekin Bantam, and of course I am hoping all chicks will be pullets, but I am...

    Chicken with leg paralysis - could it be something other than Marek's?

    I have a 3 year old pekin bantam (Bonnie) who recently started hobbling a bit and has slowly (over 2-3 weeks) got worse to the point where she can't stand at all. She otherwise seems very healthy and is eating and drinking as normal. One foot is cool (not completely cold) the other is warm and...

    Gender opinion please!

    This is a Pekin, around 13-15 weeks old. Not positive it is a girl as we believed when purchased! Definitely top chook in our flock of six.
