    tiny project

    So a year ago, I bred my kikiriki hen with my silkie rooster and I got one chick which is this rooster. His name is blue and he is half silkie and half kikiriki. As you can see, he has regular feathers like his mom but a comb like his dad, an extra finger on both feet like his dad, and feathered...

    I'm back

    Good morning everyone, I've been extremely busy lately. I had to take in a group of Silver Penciled Plymouth Rock bantams from a kid that's off to college. I'm going to be taking care of them and breeding them while he's in school. They are beautiful birds, I'll attach pictures below. The...

    Bantam and Standard Chicken Interbreeding

    Would breeding a bantam rooster with a standard hen work? If it did work, would the chicks have health issues like muscular and skeletal problems? I don't plan to do a standard x bantam cross at least not intentionally but I am keeping Silver Duckwing Old English bantam roosters and hens...

    What is my golden Sebright bantam hen mixed with? Rest in peace, my sweet angel <3

    What is my golden Sebright bantam hen mixed with? Sia, my 2 year old Sebright tragically passed away due to a freak accident, that was completely my fault and 100% preventable on July 1, 2024. I wanted to give a tribute to her earlier, but it hurt too much writing about her. She was always so...

    I’m nervous about ordering chicks online

    I really do not like the idea of buying baby chicks online from hatcheries— it scares me! I want to get 6 bantam chicks (2 mille fleurs, 2 splash ameraucana, and i’m still figuring out the third breed if you guys have favorite bantam breeds!) but they’re not available to pick up in person. Any...

    Best time to get chicks?

    Struggling to figure out which time would be best to get chicks… I want to be able to incorporate them into my current adult flock by the time it starts getting warm out. I got my first flock at the end of February, and they went out in April because March was FREEZING for me this year. I want...

    Chicken that never stops talking, even at night

    I got a hen that never stops clucking, and yesterday I put a camera in her coop and noticed she would cluck all night long. I don’t know how long she’s been doing that, but it doesn’t seem normal. She will fall asleep, and then wake up and start clucking. It isn’t the alarm call, it’s just a...

    How many Barred Rock hens can I add to my bantam flock of 4 in a 5x4 coop?

    I have a 5 week old flock of 4 Nankin Bantams, I got them not really knowing that they were going to be tiny and not lay many eggs. We are still in love with them, but want to add a couple of Barred Rocks to the flock while they are young if we can. Our run has more than enough space but the...

    Bantam Chicken Question

    Hi, after some infromation on Bantams - I have googled but can't find what I'm looking for. We were gifted two bantams that have never been humanised, so they won't come near us like the other hens will. Not 100% sure of age, but we think they are reasonably young. One has just hatched 3...

    Bantams with standards

    So I am receiving a bantam hen and a bantam rooster today. They are about four months old. I have a flock of nine standard hens, five of whom are still pullets. What is the best way to integrate them? I am not too concerned because before they were living with 30 to 40 standard chickens and...

    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...

    Foxes and raccoons

I had a large horse wire fence very predator proof cage that I took apart. Now I have a 10X10 chain link fence with a tarp zip tied to the top (it’s not fully tied at the...
