Hello, I'm Saphira.
I live in washington with a large flock of bantam chickens (plus one Sicilian Buttercup), 18 ducks, and 3 guinea chicks. I've been keeping chickens for as long as I can remember (but I'm still learning loads!), and last year I showed some of my birds at the county fair for the first time. I am part of a poultry 4-H group and loving it! I recently converted my mixed flock of bantams and standard chickens to all bantams, although I kept my sicilian buttercup. (Rest assured, the standard-size birds all went to good homes!) Here are the chicken breeds and varieties that I keep:
My Purebred Chickens:
Belgian Bearded D'uccle Bantam
Varieties: Mille Fleur, Porcelain, Splash, and Self Blue.
Cochin Bantam
Varieties: Red, Barred, and Partridge.
Bantam Brahma
Varieties: Light.
Bantam Easter Egger
Varieties: Blue
Sebright Bantam
Varieties: Golden.
Old English Game Bantam
Varieties: I am unsure of what varieties my old english game bantams are.
Rhode Island Red Bantam
Sicilian Buttercup
My Mixed-breed Chickens:
Red Cochin Bantam + Mille Fleur Belgian Bearded D'uccle
Red Cochin Bantam + Mille Fleur Belgian Bearded D'uccle + Sicilian Buttercup
Golden Sebright Bantam + Sicilian Buttercup
My Prebred Ducks:

Cayuga
Khaki Campbell
Buff
My Mixed-breed Ducks:
Rouen + Buff
My Other Birds:
Guinea
Variety: I am unsure of the variety. These birds are still chicks
I'm very excited to be a part of BYC!
