bantam

I recently got 4 new “assorted bantam” chicks and was curious if anyone could detect the actual breed? 2 are a light grey with yellow on the head and feathered feet. 1 is a mix of brown, grey, and a little yellow on the head, feathered feet. 1 is WHITE with pale clean feetsies. I know it’s hard...

Well the chicks are nearly 4 weeks as the title says and they are really filling out especially the Pekins! Nugget (the more yellow one) is as bold as brass, seemingly fearless. Kiev (the more reddish one) is more timid and cuddly of the two. Heihei is the GLW who's feathering so much...

I was wondering if anyone has tried to create a rose comb Japanese bantam. I was thinking about trying to cross a Japanese with a Rosecomb bantam. Would it be possible to cross the two breeds and get a rose or other small comb? Then would I be able to breed out the Rosecomb body attributes in...

I have a broody golden sebright x light brahma bantam cross. She’s a tiny little hen and she’s been laying on 5 eggs for about four days. But today, someone layed an egg in her nesting box and she took it. And since I had an egg I really wanted to hatch and she had already taken the one from...

Is this a hen or rooster? 9 weeks old

Newbie here! I've been looking at a ton of feeders and waterers for my bantam chicks for when they grow up. Out of curiosity, is there any reason not to use a hanging bird feeder made for wild birds? I feel like my girls are going to be a lot smaller than your average chicken, and if the feeder...

Gender? I got this little bantam Cochin out of an assorted bantam bin. I’m really hoping it’s a girl because I only have one other little bantam to go with him/her. The other one I’m pretty positive is a girl. (I have full size chickens that I’ve decided to keep separate because I have a full...

Looking to find a Silkie breeder that offers DNA sexing. Can anyone point me in the right direction? Thank you!

We recieved him from a neighbor down the road who had two identical roos. The only details they had for us were that they were Bantams. He has clean feet, mostly black/shimmery green with speckled white feathers on his nape and down his back! Its also possible he's totally mixed so an...

Bantams I just got. It’s a mix, I’m completely clueless as to the color variations any suggestions on what type of bantams these might be. 1-4 is one, 5-9 and 10-10 is the last one.

I am OBSESSED with bantams. 😬 I need to have them in all colors, shapes & styles! I even had to get some babies that I didn't have a few weeks ago. lol My only problem right now is that I can't find anything that (is on the cheaper side) they can't slip out of to take them outside! My husband...

Hello Everyone. First time Chicken owner here and have been feeling like quite the idiot the past few weeks. I recently purchased some chicks from my local TSC. I should have payed more attention, but that is my own fault, as I was going after “unique” and “pretty” chickens. I need help...

This is very bizarre. So I have one hen that had her chicks hatch at least two weeks ago. She's been walking around with them happy as can be. However, there was another hen who was broody at the same time, and continued trying to sit on the eggs until yesterday (I was removing the eggs from...

Any ideas about what breed this bantam is? They were just sold as "bantam". Also, any ideas about if they're a pullet or cockerel? It's about 6 weeks old, and its a little feisty with the other chicks! Still very sweet, just definitely the boss. Thanks for any help identifying this lil one!

This 3 week old bantam has little guy sydrome BAD (not the feather legged one). Idk what to do with him/her. I'm running out of room and want to put everyone together that are around the same age (slow introductions of course) but he/she will NOT allow it. Let's call this bantam HULK for now...

Hi, I have 4 silkies all about 10 weeks old. I think #4 is a girl because her wattle and comb are under developed compared to the others. Any thoughts about the others, all boys? Thanks.

This baby is about 8 weeks almost 9 weeks old and I'm stumped as to what breed she is. Is there anyone that could tell me? She's a bantam breed that's all I know

Looks like the flock of baby chickens is growing and always a good idea to keep a heating lamp that for a while until you notice they don't need it anymore. I am loaded with a variety oh baby chicks from Rhode Island red, Wyandotte, Plymouth Rock, Bantam, and the majority of them are Australorp...

I got 2 new babies to add to my bantam flocks! I have some Delawares & Barred Rocks, but I felt like I needed something new to break up the black & white theme. 😅 Any ideas on what breeds they may be? They both have "pants" & are ridiculously fluffy. I can get better pictures of the little...
