bantam breed

She was sold as a "Tried and True Bantam" at the farm store. We thought maybe a Welsummer bantam or some kind of Old English game? Not sure though. If anyone has any ideas they would be much appreciated! Thanks!

Hey there! Just wanted to see what breed people think these girls are. I was told they were Ameraucanas, but when I picked them up the lady said they were Easter Eggers. Are they either, or do they look like something else? The tan/white one has more of a beard, and the blue/gray one has puffy...

Hi all. I have 5 hybrid chickens and one Cochin frizzle which I took in for a friend. I’m looking to add 4 bantams to the group - slowly of course. My Cochin is super broody so I would like breeds less broody than her. I have the choice of: Buff sussex Black Orpington Cuckoo Maran Gold...

Hey y'all! I have a flock of bantams... 10 of my original flock, 4 of their babies (which are mature now) & then I have 10 more chicks. Unfortunately all the new chicks won't make the "cut", only about 4 or 5. 😬 My concern is that we would like to start raising chickens for egg production...

What breed is this full grown bantam rooster? I thought OEGB but the leg color threw me off cause my OEGB hen has different colored legs and feet. He’s very sweet and docile. Doesn’t crow too much and when he does it’s pretty quiet. I included a picture of him next to my OEGB hen for size reference.

Decided to broaden my search. I am looking for almost any bantam chicks now in the Seattle area. I am willing to drive out about 2-3 hours to pick up a chick or pullet. Breeds that I am really into are Bantam Orpingtons, Australorps, Cochins, Easter Eggers, and any mixes of these. Any color is...

Silly me thought I had 4 pullets. Then I went on vacation for a week, and suddenly the combs appear! Yikes! - All four are 7 weeks old. 1 & 2 are Porcelain d’Uccles, and 3 & 4 are Mille Fleur d’Uccles. - 1 has to be a cockerel, unless I’m crazy. The other three now have me guessing. Since...

We got a new baby from the Bantam bin at the farm store today and s/he is so sweet and TINY! His/Her name is Omelet. My 4 year old daughter is smitten and to be honest I am too. :love Any ideas on what breed this chick is? It has almost a greenish tint to the grey fluff.

We had a bad hatch this year under a new broody hen so after only ending up with two chicks I went to the local feed store to see what they had. I ended up coming home with 12 chicks: one naked neck, 3 crested chicks, and 8 random bantams. The feed store gets all their chicks from Ideal...

And now for a 2nd chick from the assorted bantam bin. I realize, that at 2 weeks, it is too early to know for sure which breed of bantam she is. So, instead I'm asking what are the different possibilities. *She stands like any standard chick. *Clean, yellow legs. *Mostly yellow/white. Though...

Alright guys it’s that time of year again! So I bought a bunch of chicks from Tractor Supply’s bantam assortment. I have been able to figure out what all the other breeds are except for these 2. The grey, white, and yellow one is extremely tiny and has feathered feet. The second one is...

Hello :) So, I have this bantam, he was my first rooster, and I've thought and thought and thought about rehoming him, but I just can't. I'm the only person in my family that can go into the coop without him hurting me. And not because he's not attacking me. I just understand how to act...

Hi! My name is Hayley, and I started my little flock last Spring. Right now I only have a flock of three. My 2 hens are: my ameraucana, Pie, and my Jersey black giant, Purpee. And I have this very mean rooster that I need help with. He is a bantam blue cochin named Pepe, and he was the sweetest...

I am now at my whits end what to do with my girl. She wasn’t well and was showing signs of gapeworm. I wormed the whole flock and kept her in for a few nights, she was eating but being fussy I have changed their feed to something a bit smaller as she’s quite a small hen compared to my other...

We just picked up some new additions, but were not given the breed. :idunno All we know is that they are 2 week old batam pullets and their legs are feathered. I couldn't pass up the gray chick. They all have poopy butts, so definitely getting some TLC when we get home. I'm not good with...

Hi! I bought some bantams from my farm store a while ago, I got a silkie and one other one and I have no idea what breed it is! :idunno Any replies are appreciated!

Hello! I have two chicks that I need help identifying. I know one for certain is a bantam, and I have no clue about the other (she came in a "bantam" tub that also had meat birds, barred rocks, and New Hampshires in the mix - all of which I received :idunno). They are approximately 8 weeks old...

So I was to have 3 silkies. Only one have of this chicks has the extra toe, yet the two look very much alike, but not little Dolly, do you think I got 2 silkies or some mix breed? And does anyone know what Dolly would be her feathers on her feet make her look like a duck.

Hi all! Long time lurker, first time poster! We are experienced chicken folk but are new to bantams. I picked up these two cuties when they were about one week old. I think they are almost a month now. I believe one may be some sort of Polish Crested and I think it's a roo but would love any...

i have a 3 week old blue belgian bearded d'anver. Would anyone with experience with this breed be able to tell me what traits I can start to look for in determining the sex? I understand he may be to young right now, but I’d just like to know what I can keep an eye out for, as I have found...
