I'd like to find a bantam rooster for my girls. I have 2 silkies, 2 EE 's , 1 Black Star, 5 Red Comets and 4 Marans. I'm afraid to put a heritage breed in with the little ones. I'm in Washington Co. near the airport.

I have a young roo that you're welcome to. He's technically not bantam but he's not big either. He's about 6 months old and just learning about girls. His mom was a silkie/wheaten Marans cross and his dad was a lavender ameraucana. He has a crest and beard. We named him Mo for his mohawk lol. I'm in cambria county, near Patton, PA

Please don't mind the mess. He's the boy on the right. The roo next to him is a silkie/oegb cross (my son's rooster). I'm willing to drive a little bit to meet you somewhere. Id really rather not eat him if he can find a good home. I was planning to keep him for a breeding project but I don't have any more room lol

Once Jaz was able to walk assisted, she got her own boots and I usually had the patience (and arm strength!) to bring her with me to collect eggs. Now that she's walking well, she goes in the coop alone while I check on other things. I don't know what you did with your others, but I can't even believe how great it is to not have to don my boots. The extra hand is great when I have to bring extra stuff (like empty water jugs now that the spigot I'd off for the winter) back to the house. I hope to have her feeding the flock by next summer and watering by three.
 
Wow, what a difference a day makes....

This morning my senior roo, (7mos OE) was looking a bit lethargic....watched him all day.....late in the afternoon, I decided to dust him with perthermin and give him a dose of tetracycline....and put him in the coop in late afternoon....shortly after dark, I saw him in the pen sleeping and brought him inside and administered a second dose of tetracycline...just checked in on him and it doesn't look good....

Oh, sorry to hear that, but sounds like you have covered the bases for initial care. It sucks when they can't really communicate so diagnosing is more of a 'rule out what you can and treat for the rest' type approach.
If parasites are a possibility I would add some nutri drench or save-a-chick to his water to give him a boost also...we have also used brown sugar in water for a quick boost in youngsters.

Aw, I'm sorry. I hope he pulls through for you :/
 
Well I was finally able to pick up my new littles from @emorems0 . I would like to thank her for running the chicken train and allowing me to get them from @dheltzel . I checked on them this morning before heading to work and everybody seemed sleepy (to be expected at 5:30 am) but they did give a few peeps when I shined a flashlight on them. Will try and get some pics of them tomorrow morning. They all seem healthy and I'm sure in the near future will settle in just fine once they realize there travels are over.
