bantam

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...

I am by no means new to chicken keeping and have been obsessed with birds and homesteading since I was a young child. I currently have 5 ayam cemani, 2 unknown bantams, and 2 broad breasted white turkeys. I used to have a much larger variety of poultry and breeds. I am freelance commission...

hey y’all, i’ve posted a couple times about my sickly little sebright hen. for reference i’ve treated her with corid to rule out coccidiosis, treated her with permethrin and ivermectin to rule out parasites. im not getting anywhere. i still feel like she must have some sort of deficiency. i...

Hey all, I am in desperate need of some advice. I have a 4.5 month old sebright bantam hen that is extremely lethargic. She’s been like this for some time and I kept thinking maybe she was just tired. Well, every time I google “lethargic chicken” pretty much the only thing that comes up is...

Cicely is about 15 months old, been broody 3 times, hatched whatever eggs were around and raised very good free range birds. Anyway, she "weaned" her current chicks at 10 weeks when the little cockerel started trying to crow ( they are inadvertently able to be sexed based on color and pattern...

These chicks hatched June 9th. I know it's way too early to tell what the genders are, so I'm not thinking about that yet. I am curious about coloring/breed though. The pen these two came from have a splash silkie hen, black silkie hen, buff laced hen, mottled cochin. We also have silkie roos...

I brought home this little one along with some other bantams the other day, she seems a lot younger than the others and was wondering what age she might be? I know what the breeder told me (a large, commercial place, not hobby breeder) but I'm thinking they maybe made a mistake on ages? She's a...

Can anyone tell me what breed of bantams these are by chance? Also if the yellow one looks like a frizzle or if it just has some messed up wings 😂 All the brown with silver are the same chicks and all the pics of the yellow one are the same chick! Thanks in advance!

Hi all, I'm a proud new chicken mom! I have recently figured out that my Frizzle Cochin Bantam is a boy :-( I cannot keep a roo where I am. I live in Riverside County Ca ...need to regime this cutie with someone who won't eat him or feed him to something else. If you're int and not too far I'll...

This is my 11 week old frizzle Cochin Mille Fleur chick. The comb is smaller than my other roosters that hatched at the same time and this one doesn’t crow at all. I’m leaning roo but the pix from the breeder she has some hens with large combs so idk 🤷🏼‍♀️.

All bantams. Might be too early to tell with some of them! But curious if anyone has any guesses.

I bought a group of day old and was reassured that bantams and large fowl could live together. I got three bantams and an Orpington. Sadly, the Orpington and one of the bantams aren't around anymore and one of the bantams turned out to be a cockeral! The bantam cockeral doesn't seem to jump on...

Saw these babies at Atwood’s for 50% off no one’s gotten them for like 3 weeks and I’m just wondering if they look like frizzles or if they are just molting lol. They are assorted straight run bantams

I rescued a male and female golden sebright. They are said to be 3yrs old. The male is male feathered. Which I’ve been told makes him “hatchery quality” which is fine by me I don’t intend to show birds. I hatched 4 of their eggs, because I just love them. Two of the chicks seem to look more...

Hello! My hens(2 OEGBs) are healthy and don't show any signs of illness. However, I've just learned that I should be deworming them regularly for prevention of infestation. They are nearly a year old and have never had any treatments whatsoever. I've started my research but I'm pretty confused...

Cackle Bantams at Camp Raincloud Monday, Jun 19 - 9 days old. Alright, I've waited as long as I could! We just received 17 assorted Bantams from Cackle Hatchery, and I'm hoping someone can help us ID these birds so we can be sure to offer them as much specific care as we can at this vulnerable...

Hi everyone, New to the forum officially but have found infinite helpful advice and interesting information over the last year already so firstly, Thank you! What I am wanting to know is this, We have currently got 4 hens and a cockerel ( all very fluffy footed bantams but not sure of exact...

Hi all, still unsure on the sexes of 3 of my chicks. The Polish in the background is definitely a v.proud noisy little cockerel ☺️ the two pekins (?) I change my mind everyday and the silkie I haven’t a clue. Any opinions warmly welcomed ! They are 8 weeks old.

Hi all, I noticed this afternoon that one of my banties was standing in the middle of the garden, not moving, with her tail down and looking for all the world like she was roosting save for the fact she was in the middle of the garden on her own in 17°(c) heat. She hasn't really been leaving...
