I’m so upset, beyond upset!! we have 2 small bantam hens and 1 rooster, one hen is 2 weeks into setting, today the other hen got into the setting hen’s nest (she likes to lay her eggs there) and killed an egg, broke it open, and there was a chick developing inside, when I caught her she was...

I’ve never seen this before, brown spots on white ear lobe. Looks like it’s turning brown, happened very quickly. Anyone know what it is? she is an OEG bantam.

This is about just 3 little OEG bantams - will they ever get along? Any ideas? (I’ve had more problems starting over with chickens than 40+ years of raising them!) Had our first pair for 3 1/2 months until the rooster decided I was a threat & attacked me if I made what he perceived as a...

The little Blue Old English Game Bantam pair we’ve had 31/2 mos. sadly isn’t going to work out, he has decided to attack me. We will keep her and get another pair. We found someone with a Seabright pair, another person has an Spangle Old English Game pair and a Fluer d’Uccle pair. I’ve never had...

We have a rescue pair of Old English Game Bantams, he is Self-blue, she is blue. He needs another hen so she can lay an egg in peace without him trying to sit in the nest! 🙄

This is not a post about whether it is wise to have one rooster and one hen, I know the concerns and downside of that, this is to ask anyone who has done it if the rooster ever let the hen get broody and set. I raised Old English Game Bantams for 45+ yrs, stopped 6 yrs ago. Missing them...

I know there are many threads about chickens and winter, BUT what to do with just 2 little bantams? I raised bantams almost 50 yrs, after 6 years without, we recently acquired a pair (adult bantams are hard to find, at least in WA). We don’t have super cold winters, but temperatures are...

Our Little Red Hen, a pet who lived with her Rooster (Studdly), died last fall. We wondered what to do with him, we have another geriatric rooster who lives with two hens (the flocks are dwindling and we are not replenishing them). As it happened, someone offered us a Belgian d'Uccle who was...

Our Little Red Hen, who is about 7 years old and very small for a banty, has had trouble passing eggs in the past and required vet assistance for eggs too big for her. She is acting very 'frumpy' and acts like she wants to pass something, standing and pushing, but I do not feel an egg (I will...

Our Muscovy drake can't use his legs, he moves by waddling back and forth on his feet, dragging himself on the ground. It is sad and pathetic to watch him try to move, he mostly just sits. In all other regards he seems healthy, though obviously distressed. He has gotten very heavy and it...

no one has responded to my post last night asking about medication for my sick chicken. I would really appreciate suggestions on what I am over looking, need to check out....I will repeat what I wrote. I have a very lethargic hen. She is a very small bantam. For a week she mostly just sits...

I am baffled by my lethargic hen. She is the favored one, most tame because she has had health problems in the past, mostly being egg bound (requiring expensive trips to vets) the past two springs, one time each year. She is a very small bantam. All week she mostly just sits, frumpy, wings...

Along with our chickens we have raised Muscovies about 28 years. Three years ago our little flock got reduced to a pair by several sad circumstances, including an aggressive digging raccoon. This pair lived contently until yesterday when our drake died he was somewhere between 15 –18, we lost...
