I have 2 very handsome Japanese Bantam boys that are brothers and best friends. I've been looking for some bantam girls for them. My current girls are already in a set flock and I'm going to try and hatch but would love to get these babies some friends sooner if I could. Here's a pic of the...
Hello!
You all warned me when I joined this would've turn into way more than a hobby!
I work from home so I am with my birds everyday, all day. I talk to them like children. I tell them stories, we talk about our day, any issues and yes I make them answer for me.
We have so many Adventures...

Hello. This is my first spring with the girl babies and it came fast and oh man. I have a female blue swedish, she is 2. She had been laying with her previous pond. I have a female white runner mix who is almost 9 months. When the one who had been laying started laying, my doodle bear started...
Hello. This may be a long read, and it may have a lot of mistakes. Please be kind. You'll understand in just a bit.
From the day my husband and I got together, we said we were going to have a fewcacres and a homestead. I love all things country domibwas in. We lived in a big army town for 15...
I have 8 new feather babies. I got them on the 9th from TSC. (Please no comments about where they came from, I have my reasons. I shop local and there.) I checked them over when I got them home. They looked great. I got black copper marans, buff Orrington and light Brahmas My first set of...
I would.love to take an 8 month to fully grown rooster, and one as young as you can sex it.
Would love polish, silkie, frizzle....the weirder looking the better but honestly not too picky. I would like the older one to be a calmer breed since I won't have raised him.
I have 10 older girls and...
I apologize if this has been asked, there are so many threads and I don't know exactly how to word what I'm looking for in the search.

Hi all. I recently joined the BYC community and I'm new to raising feather babies.
I got my first flock in August 4 2022.
I never thought I'd ever get them. Hubby and I bought our little Ranch Dec 2021. We had been in a busy city for the first 15 years of our relationship. We had plans to turn...
Hello. I recently introduced another female duck to my crew. The first day in with them, she joined right up with the other 3 and the hens didn't really pay her any mind. She was with them about 5 hours. Yesterday was like hot and cold with the other ducks. 1 drake kept forcing himself on her...
Hello. Sorry to complain, but this is what makes me afraid to ask a question anymore.
I posted on a page on fb about white spots above one of the hens eyes. I googled and couldn't find anything.
I posted a pic that showed the eye, the white spots, and her comb.
I asked if anyone knew what it...
So I did the research after I bought, now I'm learning that they may not be what I was told. Can anyone give me an idea if they were labeled right or if I have to update their babybook?

When I got my babies I looked in the bins and hand picked 2 from each. Except I got 1 Sapphire Gem and what I believed was an Ameraucana? Sorry if I butchered the spelling.

I work from home, we have a small just dtarting out homestead and currently tend to 23 animals.
I get a little cabin fever and try to rationalize some of their quirks and weird things they do. Thinking of doing a collection and illustrating it with feather babies and their thoughts on life...
We went Aug 4 and got 8 chicks and 2 ducks. These were all hatched on my birthday almost a week before. A big baby belgian malinois wanted to play and we lost a duck. So Aug 6, I got 2 more chicks and 3 more ducks.
I have a lot to learn
