Final count on the hatch 7/7. 4 Bantam RIR chicks. They will be for sale if anyone is looking for a some. I gave another broody hen 4 more banty eggs last sunday. Dont forget they are straight run.

Can you tell on Bantams if they are Pullets. I heard that the RIR females all have the dark stripe on their heads, Males do not have it. Just wondering.

Quote: I also heard about that, but since this is my first try at true bantams im at a loss at the sex. I did notice one that has really dark mahogany strips on its back as i rounded them up today with the hen and put them in the A-frame. Does the sexing thing work with bantam like it does on LF? I know if i cross my rooster with my LF Dominique i do get BSL.

Does anyone want some really cute Dominique chicks...really good chance they are roosters...really good chance...

I'll try tomorrow. She's one of the most aggressive broody's I've had. This one really DOES peck. Sindie, or Fanny they'd let me get the eggs or look at them. This one however, puffs up and screeches and attacks!

She's a good mama..so far. Hope she watches over the babies as well. She probably will.

Does anyone know how to keep flies down to a minimum? The mixture of my chickens and the goats behind me sure are making A LOT of flies stick around
