I’m raising bantam chicks for the first time and all of them seem to be doing fine except one of them is concerning me. He’s always...

    Frizzled Cochin sexing

    I bred my Millie to a calico roo and it may be too soon to tell sex but a Cochin person said I had a few Roos and I’m looking to get opinions! (Also have this copper maran and he is the only one in that pen who has a bright red comb so I’m assuming he is a roo since the other 11 marans hatched...

    Am I going nuts? Bantam chick “crowing”?

    Editing in video from another chick, same age and behavior! SILLY little guys! I need to try to catch it on video, but I kept hearing this sound from the garage and I went to go check. It was this tiny, high-pitched “bree-dee-dee” sort of sound from a very pink combed Bantam we’ve got. We got...

    Question about Incubating Bantam Eggs

    Hey I have a maticcoopx (20 egg) incubator, I have currently been using it just as a backup for if a broody hen abandons the nest (or leaves some eggs after the first chicks hatch). I want to attempt to incubate my bantam eggs in it now but before I do I wanted to get some information on what...

    HELP Chick Not Absorbing Veins and Yolk

    I found this chick pipped under the broody hen 26 hours ago. His beak was not at the pip location so I picked the egg up to investigate and the membrane was dry, there was no movement, and I didn’t hear any pips. I placed him in the incubator for a few hours while I did some research. I read...

    Bantam & Standard Cochin gender?

    Hi all - any guesses at gender on these two. Not entirely sure how old. I think the calico bantam is around 6-7 weeks and I think the blue standard Cochin is maybe 7 weeks. TIA

    TSC bantam bin chicks

    I got these from TSC in a bin labeled as “silkie” which is clearly incorrect. I believe they are bantam Cochins but I’m not sure of the colors. I think the brown one is partridge and the light yellow one’s wing feathers seem to be buff. The last two have us stumped but we’ve narrowed it down to...

    Bantam breed guesses!

    Hi guys :frow I bought a dozen mille fluer d'uccle eggs and as they started to hatch I realized pretty quickly that these were NOT d'uccle. The seller said they're mille fluer color and that's where the confusion happened, but I'm not buying it. Any guesses as to what these might be or might end...
