The Moonshiner's Chick Chat

[The Moonshiner]

Yes it is.

Sweet. Idk much about them except they're tiny.

I'm losing it.
Bought this hot dog machine at auction last year because of course it would make a cool hatcher at some point.
Walked by it earlier and just thought.... man, I want a hot dog.
Terrible terrible

Just had to share these bearded cuties - Bambi, Thumper, and Flower

They're awesome little things. Very docile. I have some that are more sassy then others. They usually enjoy being petted and fussed with. Biscuit is a large chick, I've had others that stood only 1.5" tall after drying out.

I already decided it was going to be called Biscuit before hatching. FYI, next chick will be named Pudding

You need three more so you can name them Honey, Butter, and Chicken. Then you can have Honey Butter Chicken Biscuit.

They are pretty cute. I like mine.

How fragile are they?
Worse I've had were the bantam modern games.

Depends? I lose a couple a year. They handle heat better than cold. The truly tiny ones usually need supplemental heat in the winter. But all of mine except one made it through the -9 temps and snow for a week a couple of years ago out of the blue. I like them because they have so many patterns.

Have you ever had OEGBs?

Have you ever had OEGBs?

Well duh, of course I have.
They seemed pretty hardy for their size. The MGs not so much. I had to winter mine in the garage. That's too close to house chickens for me.

I haven't lost any from weather conditions.. yet. My Serama rooster did get frostbite and lost his tips on his comb but overall they did well. I don't heat my coop and winters here are brutal.
