I have my first little flock of Bantams, they’ll be transitioning very soon to their own Coop as they just turned 6wks.

I have Two - Silked Easter Eggers & Six Silkies and I am just head over heels in Awe of these Little Ones!! They are just Amazing!

Check out this Little Roo’s single Comb!!
I’ve read that it’s uncommon.
I think it makes him Super Special

Also:​

—
Is is common to keep Bantams in their Brooder a bit longer before transitioning? They are still so small to me. I was thinking perhaps waiting another week… Any Thoughts???

A single comb isn't uncommon. It's a fault that comes with hatchery quality birds. But if you're not breeding him to fit the SOP, or showing him, then it doesn't really matter.
Size doesn't affect when you can put them out. As long as they are feathered, they'll be fine.

Thanks for your info!!

@HappyClucker7 ~ Would you say, by my photo; Do you think these are feathered enough to Transition to a Coop without Heat? They still rely on their heating pad a lot; not their Brinsea Brooder plate, but a K&H heating pad that they like to lay on.

Well, I can only see three chickens clearly. Two look ready, but that little buff one laying next to the white one looks like it's still missing a lot of feathers.
I think the ones in the back look ready as well, but I can't see them well enough to say for sure.

Yes, that little guy has always been super smaller than the others and is a bit behind. I’m leaning towards giving them a week or so more, I think. I’ve been taking them out on Sunny days and bringing them back into the SheShed at night.
