Bantam chickens.. a friendly discussion about all pure and mixed breeds.

[MROO]

Hey, does anyone know what breed this bantam could be?

We got her from TSC’s bantam bin.

Black Breasted Red OEGB would be my guess. She's a pretty little thing!

My new Pekin hen, haven't got a name for her yet and Cora, my truly little Pekin girl. She's still tiny, she's perfectly healthy otherwise so I think she's just a bit of a runt. Packs a mighty personality in such a tiny body though and bosses the bigger babies around.

And this is Susie Q my Japanese Bantam and adopted mother to Miss Piggy the silkie who's only a couple of weeks younger than her.

When your the newest Little View attachment 2044235 bean on the brooder you get to claim dinosaur time ❤

Is the toy safe for chicks and children under 3?

Looks like Old English Game Bantam. I'm not familiar with the color though. There are so many colors in that breed.

I had a very low quality Japanese bantam that looked almost identical. She came from a large hatchery as well

Brown Red OEGB. Some of the feed stores in my area get them, too.

Black Breasted Red OEGB would be my guess. She's a pretty little thing!

Thank you all! I hope she’s an OEGB, but the mulberry skin was throwing me off

But can anyone tell me where in the world this orange is coming from ???

I'm assuming you have a Porcelain d'Uccle rooster and the BBReds, Brassy Backs, and Barreds were the hens? If that's correct, then your orange chicks are from the Porcelain d'Uccle and BBReds. Porcelain in d'Uccles is Mille Fleur with the addition of the Lavender gene. Lavender is recessive, and so is the mottling gene that causes the speckling on the d'Uccle, so you're left with an orange, almost Columbia-like pattern.

Black Breasted Red OEGB would be my guess. She's a pretty little thing!

BBR OEGB hens have the same pattern as Welsummer hens; salmon breasted with yellow hackles and brownish backs. The name BBR comes from the males in that variety, who are black breasted with red features.

Adorable birds!

I've noticed that that happens a lot in the birchen-based OEGB varieties like Brown Red and Lemon Blue. Here are some Brown Red OEGBs I took pictures of at shows, for example. They're always so forward and curious when I go by their pens.

My white Silkie is Broody . She just has been collecting everyone's eggs as of two days ago. I'm going to let her hatch them out. I don't know who's eggs she has? So possibly some more Chicken Little Chicks will be hatched.
I also just hatched 9 Call Ducklings on Monday..

 

[pipdzipdnreadytogo]

Exciting!! It should be fun to see what hatches!

Any pictures of those Call babies?
