Official Squatch Watchers

I do. If you want silkies or seramas, they need to be kept warm in winter. I have silkies, Mille Fleur D'uccles, and bantam cochins.

What are the d’uccles like interms of personality? I love their looks but don’t know much else about them.

I rather like the D'uccles. I have some that are Mille Fleur and I have a few self blue. ( probably roosters on the self blue) they are lively and don't seem too flighty. I have not had them go broody yet. Very cute with the muffs etc.


Soooo fluffy I love them.

Not too flighty is important to me, so I am very glad to hear that! Thanks Cappy!

No actual bantams just the 3 runts from Meyers, but bantam sounds soo much better than runt.
When we did have them though they didn't get much special care.

So, forgive my poor memory, but which Squatchers (if any) have bantams? DH has confessed to wanting a flock of tiny chickies. Anything special I should know about bantam care?!

Well, Kim has a bald chin for some reason while Stacey and Barbra don't.....hmmmmm?

And poor Prince....still not smart but he is handsome.

And just a random Lulu looking like an old man.

No problem. It likely depends on how you raise them too.

I have bantam Cochin/Orp mixes. They are cute, fluffy little things and broody machines. They were also the last of our birds to stop laying this year. I had roosters but I don’t want to breed them anymore since they aren’t pure. I’ll keep the hens around as long as they hold up their end of the bargain (being broody).

Cochin x Orp must make for some seriously fluffy butts They sound very sweet.

I’ll get some pics posted tomorrow. For now here is a vid of 2 of the girls trying to hatch out 30 eggs earlier this year.
