I just switched my set up to accommodate more birds (currently have 3 adults but 4 juveniles and 4 babies in the brooder). 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...

I have two lemon blue Cochins I was wondering if anyone would consider lemon blues to be birchen? If not what would they be considered.

Hi! About four years ago, I ordered a small group of bantam chicks. In this group I got a sultan, a black frizzle Cochin, and a few clean leg breeds for eggs. This was my first time getting bantams, and I got the sultan and Cochin because I’d previously only kept chickens for eggs, and these two...

I have 4 chicks, 2 bantams and 2 that are supposedly blue australorps but they don’t really have a blue color so not sure how accurate that is. I purchased them all 3 weeks ago from tractor supply and I have a strong feeling the bantams are roosters and possible one of the others. I...

Anyone know what the outcome would be if I crossed to blue cuckoo polish?? Would I get BBS offspring? Or would I just get blue cuckoos?

Hello all! I have two small black bantam hens and 4 corournix quail. Can they share a mini coop and run. Those ones you buy from Amazon. Its got two sections for them to go into.

Can anyone post pictures of their barred rock eggs and of their bantam eggs we have a dark brauhma bantam and a porcelain that could be laying Trying to figure out if the brauhmas could be laying early by chance or if our barred rocks are just laying smaller and way lighter eggs compared to our...

I'm picking up some meat chickens from Meyer next month and I see they have some bantams available still. I'm thinking about snagging some, but I don't know a lot about them and can't seem to find some of the answers I'm looking for. We live in the city and are trying to be more economical with...

Just placed an order at Ideal Poultry, I’ve ordered once from them before but it was YEARS ago maybe in 2014. My orders due to ship 08/09 so I’m excited to hear from people about their experiences with Ideal nowadays! My first ever order from them I ordered 8 assorted bantams and received 20...

I have some young bantam chickens that I've been raising for a few months now. I've been on vacation the last couple of weeks and returned yesterday - my neighbors who used to have chickens were caring for them while I was away. I went to put my birds up for the night last night and one hen was...

Hey Guys! Can I get some help identifying these chicks? They were in the assorted bantam bin at my feed store. I know I got a frizzle cochin bantam (#3) that I would like to know what color it may turn into. #1 looks like a d'uccle but not too sure.(feathered feet and pointy tail) And no...

All bantams. Might be too early to tell with some of them! But curious if anyone has any guesses.
