bantam

Hello! This is my first time posting here, so sorry if I mess anything up! Anywho, I bought 6 chickens from Meyer hatchery, one of the hatches didn’t go well so instead of a refund they gave me a standard Easter egger chick that was supposed to be female so it would mesh well with everyone...

I have an egg from a batch of 6 that hasn’t hatched yet. All the other eggs finished yesterday and I’m just wondering if this one isn’t alive anymore. I finally decided to candle it this morning to check for movement and didn’t see anything. Any thoughts on if I should just call it quits or give...

Hello! I have a mottled cochin bantam (Gil) about 18 weeks old. She lives with two blue Andalusians that are the same age. Yesterday when I let them out, I noticed that none of them were really eating very much. The blues did a little bit, but Gil didn't at all. She ate grass and whatever bugs...

Silkies are about 3 months old, no crowing yet. Looking at the buff & white silkies. White one was really difficult to get photos of. Hens or roo?

I had one of my D'uccles turn out to be a roo. He started crowing recently. This is my other D'uccle who hasn't started crowing and I am wondering if she may actually be a hen? Just wanted some other opinions! The feathers I thought were saddle feathers are actually coming off and being...

Hi, I’m hoping someone can help me figure this out!! I’m looking to adopt another hen from my local shelter. This bird was listed as a hen on the website and they said was returned to the shelter for being a rooster with no other explanation. I went to go take a look at her/him and still can’t...

Goodmorning all! I found a place that had 2 day old bantam chicks that I had been looking for. Theyre ADORABLE 🥰 to say the least. I got them yesterday so today they would be 3 days old. I was curious to see if anyone was good with feather sexing. If I was reading the articles and the diagrams...

I have this gorgeous Bantam Easter Egger I got from a Bantam Assortment from Cackle Hatchery. I’ve posted about her before asking for help figuring out her coloring and genetics, and from what I got as answers she looks like a splash. Now I know Easter Eggers are most of the time made from...
