    Help! Injured foot on Bantam chick

    We just picked up four new chicks from Family Farm and Home on Sunday. I noticed yesterday something was weird on the foot of one of the bantams we picked up but our new chicks are very skittish and run the minute we reach for them. I didn’t want to stress them out more so I waited to get them...

    Missing Toes on Both Feet

    So, I bought some top quality breeder birds (Wyandotte bantams) from a well known breeder. He won 5th best bird in a show of 10,600 birds at Ohio Nationals last year. The birds I got are offspring of that winning bird. They are great birds and are filling out very nicely. I noticed though that...

    Looking for help with IDs

    This is my first time keeping chickens... as pets only. These are from TSC. I think I figured the one out to be booted d'uccles. I bought them on Father's Day, and he was a fuzzy chick with wing feathers already but was smaller than all the other assorted bantams. The worker said they've never...

    Anyone know what these little gals could be?

    Howdy, I've recently gotten a pair of this little 2ish week old pullets and I'm trying to figure out what they might look like when they grow up. The piebald one I believe to be some kind of cochin because she's starting to grow feathers on her legs. The little black one I was told might be a...

    Am I Crazy or over emotional about Chickens

    Two years ago, my journey with chickens began when my ex-partner, a school teacher, got two chicks after hatching. Due to my diagnosed mental health issues, including primary insomnia, double depression, ADHD, and DID, I thought a rooster might help me wake up and build a routine. We lived in a...

    How to introduce sizzles to a standard-sized majority flock?

    About a week ago, I hatched 3 silkie-frizzle hybrids! They are super adorable, and I can't wait till they can leave the brooder. Somehow I was dumb enough to never consider that these guys might be picked on for their size when they join the flock. I've introduced newbies before, put them in a...

    Bantam Cochin Genders

    I hatched these sometime in May, I wanted some other opinions on their genders. The one has a darker comb as I think I accidentally kept a Silkie in the mix with my Cochins. Either way, both are cute.
