The birb king's chickens

I think Meyer has Splash Bantams.

I've never ordered from there. I wanted to try them this year but didn't get the chance. I love the splash though they are beautiful

Have you ever had any ayam cemanis?

Yea I got one as a chick but it died. My friends have a pair of them and I took care of them last year in attempt to breed them, which didn't work out.

That sucks. Somebody in my area is Shelly an ayam rooster for $20 so I'm probably gonna get him so I can make some cool melanistic crosses.

I'm a little bit worried about new Steve. He was very skinny when I picked him up and I could really feel his breast bone. He still acts fine and is very active, but when I put him in front of the water he drank a LOT so maybe he's a bit dehydrated. He's also a bit smaller than most of the pullets.

I hope he gains a little bit of weight! I've never raised bantams, so I don't have any experience with smaller sizes of chickens. I have raised Coturnix Quail though (but these guys are a little bit more on the fat side).
I've had a few chickens like that and thankfully they got better after a while. If he is still active and acts normal, that's good. I hope he gets better! It's always so worrying though.

Come on Steve! We got to gain some weight!

I checked on him this morning and he doesn't seem quite as skinny, but I'll just have to keep watching him to make sure he's eating enough.
