Bantam thread(including polish and silkies)

I ALWAYS seeing Amelia. So unusual and so pretty.

Thank you I’ll be sure to tell her! She was such a surprise! How many chickens do you have? You seem to have a lot!

I started with regular size chickens but when I added my four silkies two turned out to be boys so I was really sad when I gave them away and then my two girls cause more trouble then the hens three times their size! Lol they were worth it!

I do have a lot! Let me think for a moment … at this time I can only guesstimate— 3 dozen LF, 3 dozen Serama/other bantam. I also have eggs still hatching and chicks in the brooder. This all doesn’t even include my turkeys and 2 types of quail. Plus, I raise budgies, conures, and a cockatiel! Of course my numbers are probably off by at least a bird or 2, since I’ve also allowed 4 broodies to hatch, along with me and my incubator! Once hatches complete, I think I really do need to recount.

Love your rosecomb cock

I do too. He's very personable. He likes me to hold him or just be stroked on the back and comes up to me for these things.

I will be following this thread! I absolutely love bantams, you almost can never go wrong with them in comparison to large fowl. I have a Rhode Island Red Bantam hen named Ruby and she has her own harness and diaper. I ride her around in the car and she gets to go to places. She loves it and she loves meeting new people, humans are the highlight of her life.

Here’s some of the micro-flock searching for the treats that Ruby (the Mille Fleur d’Uccle inside the feeder) just slung out everywhere.

LOL, the RIR bantams are very friendly. I have one named Sherry.
