Seems this year is a pretty hard year for me and my flock. I am in middle Tennessee. Currently experiencing a particularly lethal strain of Coccidiosis on my farm that corrid is ineffective against. I'm overwhelmed and stressed to the max. I was finally gifted some very expensive and long...

Got three Serama chicks recently. Curious what color variety they are. There is one that I'm pretty sure will be blue mottled, another that is white? not sure if that is the proper term. And then the one that appears to be Barred? Wasn't aware their is a Barred variety of Serama's prior to...

Very young. Maybe too young but wasn't sure if someone with more experience with this breed might know some nuances about them that I'm not privy to? Two chicks maybe a week or two old

Would love to see pictures of everyone's true bantam Ameraucana's, especially in Self Blue/Lavender. Also interested in looking at standard Ameraucana's. Would love to see examples of down color and shank/feet color

Two chicks like this, one has feathered legs the other does not. White dot on heads. Assuming they will be Barred? Brown and black down. Anyone know what breed they are or possible breeds? Thanks in advance 🥰

Purchased Chicks from Private person. The eggs were given to them to hatch for someone. They were not certain of what spelling to use for these chicks. They are feathering out now. I had read on here somewhere that true Ameraucana's are to have pea combs, slate legs, and pink feet. Which is...

Not sure whether this little one is a pullet or Cockerel. It's about 11 wks old I think. What does everyone think? Some days I think Cockerel then others I think pullet....

My little odd ball chick has gotten a little older. Now wondering what everyone else thinks about the color on her....blue partridge maybe?

Okay- I am learning everything I possibly can about genetics and breeding. I thought that I was understanding things, but now I am seeing photos on the I ternet labeled " _____ (any color, black, blue, lav, etc) mottled" that when I look at the photo would of thought the bird to actually be a...

I recently purchased a lot of about 50/60 bantam Cochin chicks. I knew frizzle was a possibility in the feather types. As they feathered out I began to notice what appeared to be a third feather type. All of these chicks have 4 toes, correct combs, and the comb and shank/feet colors are all...

Saw these at a flea market. Does anyone know what they are? The appear to be silkie satins, maybe large fowl? Maybe some kind of hybrid...not sure though. Don't know if I should buy or not

I have a lot of Cochin Bantams that I knew had the possibility of being smooth or frizzled. I can definitely tell who is frizzle and who is smooth, but there are a couple in the mix that I thought were frizzle but now I'm not so sure. Does anyone know if these are actually frizzle or smooth or...

This little lady was hatched here at my farm. I purchased BYM hatching eggs from several farms. All eggs were medium to extra large. I don't remember any bantams being part of their flocks but this little cutie is TINY! She is three months old and still fits into my hand completely! Everyone...

I am curious if anyone can tell me what breeds might be even possible from the TSC bantam assortment bin? Maybe people who have purchased from there and we're able to identify various breeds? Or for people who have been here a while what range of breeds have you seen come out of that bin? I...

Unsure of breed of bantam? Serama? White leghorn? Thought tail looked wrong for WLH.... Straight comb. Clean leg. Pink/whitish/yellow legs. pink/yellow beak. Eyes are kind of green/hazel. Also appears to have gold/buff leakage? On head, top of back and neck area. Pink skin. It actually isn't...

Purchased this from the bantam unidentified assortment bin at TSC. Got four. They all look like these. I have no clue what they are. Appear to be clean leg. Shanks are grey but much lighter then true slate like an Ameraucana's. Comb is flat right now, definitely not straight, maybe pea maybe...

Chick One - Purchased from a private hatcher who was given an assortment of eggs from various places to hatch for a kindergarten project. Has black, brown, and cream pattern with eyeliner around the eyes (hard to see in photos) . Has feathered feet as well as a cream dot on its head. Also does...

I am just starting out with bantam Cochins. They come in lots of colors and variety. So far I have the following: °Roosters •Light Mille Fleur •blue splash silkie/b.cochin cross •blue/red laced •Splash °Hens • not sure if she is partridge or red (has some black around her neck area) °Chicks...

This little cutie hatched out of a flock of black blue and splash and mottled (blk/white) Cochin Bantams. Has anyone ever seen this down pattern/color in their own Cochin Bantams and can you please tell me what color it is and what she will look like at maturity? Thanks in advance 🥰

The one on the far right in the first picture I suspect to be male even though it is supposed to be a pullet. It isn't developing a tail like the other two and it is also getting a blackish color to its first set of feathers on its wings. Have I identified these correctly? Two on left as female...
