TSC “Bantam” Chickens ID

So cute!

Pancake was killed by a hawk. I brought them outside in a little gate with netting to peck around. While I was standing 2 feet away getting them some weeds to peck at a hawk swooped down and grabbed him. I charged at him and scared him off but by that point he’d already snapped Pancake’s vertebrae. RIP Pancake.

I’m so sorry.

There is no way to sex them at this age, bantams I believe it's dangerous(?) to vent sex them en mass at the factories or hatcheries they come from, thats why I believe they're almost always sold straight run at feed stores : D

I'd say you've probably got a group of four cochins!! Either that or one booted bantam and 3 cochins!

1. Buff Cochin Bantam (or a booted bantam (mille fluer then) can't really see the wings!)
2. Partridge (?) Cochin Bantam
3. Blue Cochin Bantam
4. Blue Cochin Bantam

We'll be able to help you out more for a more for sure ID when they're older, but for now that's going to be my personal guess : D Either way, congrats on the cute babies!!!

Awesome, thank you!!

We need pics of them standing naturally to properly ID them.

Personalities:

Pancake and Namentuppen are the sweetest. They don’t fuss too much. Pancake is the most food driven of the group. Namentuppen is the smallest and most shy. Loves food but won’t fight for it.

Sage is sweet but LOUD when she’s handled. Also loves food.

Buck is a wild one. Flaps his wings when handled and struggles the most out of the group. He’s got a good set of lungs too.

Number 3 is blue. Thanks for the better pic!

Thank you!

I have rats! They lost one of their cage-mates a while back so they didn't need that large of a cage. The other quickly growing creature certainly did need the space though.

My sister has 7 to get rid of right now for free, idk if could ship or not we are in Ohio
