I need help on my Bantams

[trash80]

I found out today that Atwoods here gets their chicks from Ideal Poultry. (I found one of their boxes sitting nearby the chick bins)

#2 & #3 are both Mille Fleur Old English Bantams or Dutch, no sign of a colored ear yet.I'm 98% sure both are roosters:

#1 & #7 are Blue OEG. #1 is a hen, #7 is a rooster:

#4 is a Pekin (Cochin Bantam) Rooster:

#5 is a Black Rosecomb Bantam, no idea on sex just yet, comb is small. This little one was the runt of the group, the other roos seem to fight WITH it, so I'm assuming it's a roo.

#6 is an OEGB, she had a true chipmunk or 'wild' pattern (not a chipmunk like pattern). Since she is a blue/grey with a red breast pattern developing, it's hard to say exactly which type of OEGB, but Black Breased Red, Blue Golden Duckwing, Fawn Goden Duckwing, and Golden Duckwing hens appear the same or very similar on Ideal's website. The carry what they call 'Ameraucana' bantams, but my girl doesn't have any muffs or tufts. And, yes, she is a hen for sure. She's the sweetest of the bunch. She will roost in your hand. She'll get jealous if you pick up another chick. (hmm, kinda like my wife

)

#1 and #7 are now showing silver on the hackles. So I'm positive they are Silver Blue Old English Bantam (SBOEGB):

Self blue doesn't have the silver. The SBOEGB will produce 50% blue.

Well, it's been two years. Here's some updates on the 'chicks'.

#1 is doing well with one daughter with her.

#2 and #3 did well. Both were roos and grew being really friendly, then one day, the friendliest one decided they didn't like anyone. The friendliest one began chasing the kids anytime they were in the yard. The farm dog decided to chase chickens, so we had to chain him up. One day, #2 or #3 (whichever began as the friendliest) got a little too close and was killed. The dog was then giving to a family friend. He was a great dog, a really good friend, but he had issues with animals that ran past him (he never stalked or chased them, but if they ran by, he would then run them down. Anyhow, he's at a better home now.) The other roo, which wasn't as friendly, but wasn't aggressive also went to a new home. A friend needed a good roo for her hens, so I let her take him. (many thought these to be sebrights, they were not. I did later get two sebright roos and they also went to the same friend.)

#4 is a Cochin roo. He was super friendly as a chick, but later decided he wanted nothing to do with humans and started picking on all the other bantams, so he went to my mom's farm with larger chickens. He hangs around, but must always be put in place by the bigger roo (a Salmon Faverolles). He's still runs around trying to boss everything around, horses, cats, guineas, etc.

#5 was a Rosecomb roo. He was very docile bird. He didn't like people a lot, but tolerated everyone. He grew some beautiful tail feathers. Because he was so docile, he was picked on a lot. Before I could get him into his own place, he was picked to death He was so beautiful. His tail feathers had that black/green sheen to them. He's always missed.

#6 grew up a beautiful Silver Penciled Rock Bantam, but was self blue. As a chick, he was always standoff-ish. We took him to my mom's farm. There he became the pet. He followed my boys around and loved to be held. We decided that the farm wasn't a good place to keep a pet (several of our large stock were being eaten by predators). So we brought him back home and he is the flocks roo. He is such a great roo. He'll call the hens to anything he finds to eat and will always eat last or do without. His hens are first to him. He doesn't fly up into our arms as much now, but doesn't mine being picked up and talked to. He has a son that didn't inherit the good disposition. The son is beautiful also, but will bite when picked up and is aggressive toward other roos, so he's in isolation.

#7 is our sweet OEG hen. She loves to be held and talked to. She has hatched two clutches of chicks, not all hers. She's quite the thief when she's broody. She's hatched all the sons and daughters. But we have to watch her. The first chicks to hatch are ok, but if any hatch a day later, she would try to kill them. We had to isolate a few chicks from her. She has one son from #6 out on mom's farm, and two others on my friends farm. She hatched two daughters (one is actually the daughter of #1, the other is the daughter of a red cochin (not pictured)). She's a good momma. She would attack any other hen that came near 'her' chicks, no matter from whom she originally stole the eggs.

After this batch, we ended up getting another batch of bantams and two batches of standard. Predators took about half our standards. The standards are all buff brahma hens. We had a Faverolles hen, but she was also taken by the dog. We also had a silver penciled brahma, she disappeared one day. She was the friendliest of the brahmas and was the 'momma' to the guineas. We had a cornish. He was a big guy and very deep crow, but all we found of him was feathers in the woods one day.

Free range is great if you keep the predators away. Mom puts them up at night. Once in a while someone decides they don't want to go in. Sometimes they make it through the night, sometimes not.

We are looking to order about 100 more chicks this year, just deciding on which breeds (I have ideas, just too many ideas, so I'm trying to narrow it down). I'll get some pics of the grown up 'chicks' on here soon.
