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

And some random photos of my young pet flock. I have a really bad habit so far--I really enjoy taking their picture when they are roosting at night! Of course they hate this! They're trying to sleep and my camera has a flash! But the photos are so cute!

I'll help! I can't stop taking photos constantly! Here's Morse the cockerel, and Catherine and Coretta the pullets.

My little Dutch cockerel had a swollen leg and wouldn't stand for his first three weeks. I had to splint his legs and separate him half the time from his brood mates. My sweet cat looked after him quite a bit. I just brought Nicky-the cockerel- in for a cuddle and my cat walked in and got in my lap, too. Then my cat, Malcolm, went to watch squirrels through the window. I let Nicky go and sit by him. He stayed for a good five minutes! They are definitely friends!

Sounds like you have one great Cat! I love the pics of him snuggling with the Chick, so Cute.

Thanks! He is such a gentle and sweet cat. My other wonderful cat is a bit afraid of the chickens. (Which is fine with me!)

Oh wow. Didn't know there were bantam ducklings. Cute photos everyone. Just had some bantam hatchling and they are like a tiny fluffy cotton ball. Will try to post photos later.

Aw, glad he recovered! Your cat is adorable!! I love the picture with his paw over the chick in the towel. He looks like he's saying, "This is mine now."

Too cute! Those GL Cochins don't look happy with you at all in that third to last picture!

Oh, yeah, there are bantam ducks! I have some, too. Not sure if I've posted them here at all yet... Here's a fairly recent picture of them to remedy that. Crash and Malcolm the Butterscotch Call ducks.

I'm a bit late to the thread, but I thought I'd share a few pics of my adorable little d'Uccles.

I must say I'm loving all the Bantams everyone posts.......

-18C here in Alberta, Canada this morning. My Chickens are warm and happily running around in the Coop though....

 

[pipdzipdnreadytogo]

Brr, already so cold there! We were only around -2° C here this morning (nothing on your temps, I know!), but everyone's running around out in the yard still, even my practically naked Cochin bantam, Bryony, who decided to lose 80% of her feathers at the end of October!
