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...
The black one I know is a pullet, I'd love your guess on silkie, and what are the red and white Frizzle?? Both roos? They are ~ 7/8 weeks from Tsc bantam bin.
I wanted to keep one :((((
Hello I got this chicks around 3 months ago, and got 4 at TSC and 3 from CALS Ranch.
I’ve been wondering what breeds these are?
And possibly gender as well.
1:
Is labeled as a bantam
Has 5 toes one each foot
I thought they were a silkie
2:
Thought they were an Easter Egger
From CALS Ranch...
Hey, friends!
Happy Friday! I’m back again with yet another question for you fine folks! Warning you now, this is a little long because I am a rambler. Sorry! 😅

Hello,
My name is Stephanie and I’m new to chickens. I’d like to know more about my chicks and TSC said we had all black sex links and two bantams but I’m now having a hard time believing that. When we got them three weeks ago we were told they were a week old and after everything I’ve seen I am...
She was sold as a "Tried and True Bantam" at the farm store. We thought maybe a Welsummer bantam or some kind of Old English game? Not sure though. If anyone has any ideas they would be much appreciated! Thanks!
My 2 year old sebright, Amanda, is broody - has been for 3 days. Is she serious? I thought they didn’t go broody? If I get her eggs will she go the distance?
Thanks!
Hey it’s me again, I just posted some “mystery” bantams not too long ago, and I just now ended up with an additional one. I’d love to know what kind of bantam this is as well if possible.
We have fluffy legs, a near white belly, a very shiny silver head and back, with some yellow around a pale...
They got me y'all, there were only a few bantams left and one was a frizzle that was already starting to frizzle. An angry pinecone is on my list of wants for this year so what else was I to do but get 4 chicken babes.
So that being said, with it being an assorted bantam bin from tractor supply...
So!! I just rescued two golden sebrights, a hen and a rooster. The hen for sure looks like a seabright. But when I was doing research it says that the roosters will have hen-like feathers, meaning he won’t have pointed hackle or pointed saddle feathers. This boy does, he also has a dark chest...
So I just went out to do my afternoon check on my ladies. I took them some fresh spinach - one of their faves and was missing one of my bantams, Flash!! Which meant she was probably roosting - YEP!
So, I went into the coop and there she was, the little red speckled cutie all huddled up in her...
Hello! I'm looking to expand my flock and I'm looking for a specific breed, the black-breasted red old english game bantam.
I have a basic idea of what the chicks look like (brown stripes from eyes and top of head down to the tail with beige fluff) but I just want to be certain that that is the...
