    Can a bantam silkie rooster rate with a medium sized hen?

    Hi all, Today I picked up a rooster from a lady needing to get rid and I have plans to breed him with some of my girls. I have three in mind - a barred hybrid, a light Sussex and a leghorn. The only issue is the rooster is very small and has been pushed around quite a bit from the bigger hens...

    In need of assistance or advice, I have 6 baby chicks and 1 of them is a bantam. She is so small (obviously) but has not grown in the full week I have had her.

    Rooster with frostbite

    Hi! So my bantam Wyandotte rooster got frostbite over night from getting water on his waddles (he uses a 5 gallon heated water from tractor supply) then freezing.It’s pretty bad (I think… I’ve never had anyone get frostbite before). I think this because they are pretty puffed up. He doesn't mind...

    Large crop, can't stand up and is unvalanced

    This afternoon when I had gone to shut my chickens in for the night, I noticed that one of my silkies was walking oddly. I brought her inside and she could no longer support herself and keeps flopping on to her side. We checked her crop and that was very large. We looked online and saw that...

    Frizzles?

    Hi everyone! I recently bought three bantams from a frizzle bantam mix at our local Co-op. Two of the three are starting to get their big feathers in, do they look frizzled to you? I attacked a picture of the third one just in case, but I think it’s too early for s/he. I know they have about a...
