Do I have a story for you all!!! Hi everyone. I am new here and new to hatching eggs. That said, I have raised and helped bring into this world many things from fish to goats to dogs to a human, and now I am raising and hatching chicks. If any of you have experienced what I am about to tell...

I just have a question about the GSB. Do they feather quickly? I know they both have female feathering, but I wanted to know if the females or males feather out quicker? I have about 10 or so of them, and some already have tail feathers and more wing feathers than the other ones. Some don't...

We purchased 6 white silkie bantams they have been vaccinated and are wonderful birds Born March 10th 2023- Unfortunately 5 were roosters, and where we live we cannot have 5 roosters. In Connecticut- we will bring to you so we can see where they there new home and if it’s adequate. Only...

HI ! This little Bantam came in a group of 5 I got they are now 8 weeks old the other 4 turned out to be OEGB but this guy is different does anyone know what breed he is?? Thanks!

I can show some other photos if needed! He’s 3 and a half weeks old.

My 1 yo rooster has been acting sick lately so I decided to pick him up and noticed a bump on his back close to the wing area. It’s a black bump and somehow has a feather or two growing on it? He sleeps on the roosts if that helps. I’m leaning towards it being a tumor because I’ve had some...

Hey! I have a few Seramas and was wondering if y’all have any tips for care for them or bantams as a whole! I love learning new things to help my chickens! Thanks! (p.s. I attached a pic of one of my Serama’s, Penelope exploring an old rabbit pen!)

Hello all, Not sure if this is the right topic selection but I have a Serama bantam hen that is currently hanging out in the enclosed run part of the coop and gets quite bored. The coop is quite large and she is a quite small bird so space isn’t an issue. I got her from a friend a month ago. She...

When did your bantam cochins start laying? Mine is 13 weeks old with bright red comb and wattles, and she squats when I put my hand over her back. I wasn't expecting eggs anytime soon because I've heard that cochins take a long time to mature, but she appears to be ready to lay. Is it possible...

Hi all! I got 8 baby Bannies and I need help identifying. I think most are hens, but possibly a roo. I’ve numbered them 1-8. If I need better individual pics, I can post that as well. All have the cutest little feathery legs and egg tooth's. Thank you all for your help!

Chickies are flying out of the coops! While I love to keep all ages, lately the chickies have been flying the coop! Let me know if you have been waiting for chickies…I have a large assortment of ages, and breeds. I love to put together multiple breeds in a coop, so you can bring them home...
