Now I'm wondering if I have a ee bantam. I've had one chick that I cannot figure out, when we got nugget it was a lone bantam in a tub with ducks, was a pale yellow, now nugget is feathering white with one little light grey feather on one shoulder, the wings are very long they wrap all the way around the body and meet under the tail, I check my bantams daily one at a time to make sure everyone looks ok, tonight when I picked nugget up I noticed the legs are now a pale green.
Nugget doesn't have puffy chicks, I've been stumped by this chick since day one. My newest silkies and the 2 possible faverolles eagerly greeted me, I placed my hand in the tub and all six were trying to fit on one hand
. I handle all my birds daily but I've noticed most of my bantams run away from my hand
I am trying to show them I mean them no harm and am gentle with them. I was happy when one I got last week actually came up to me and got on my hand and let me hold it. I'm going to keep handling them every day and hope that everyone eventually accepts and trusts me. So curious to see how some will turn out especially the ones I have that have a tiny flat spot instead of a comb
