    Our new cockerel Lenny - I love him to bits!!!

    Hi all, Thought I’d make a wee post to show off the cockerel I picked up recently - I’m sure he’s a bit of a mutt but I know he’s a bantam of some sort (he’s much smaller than all the hens). I was thinking he could be part silkie because of his feather texture but then again he doesn’t have the...

    What colour is my Pekin/Cochin Bantam Rooster?

    Hi Everyone, I am curious what colour my 7 month old rooster could throw to his offspring. I was told he is a Cuckoo but I'm not sure if that means blue/black base colour or how it all works when it comes to Cuckoo/Barred in a Pekin. Thank you!

    Curious what a pilkie x pekin bantam looks like

    Hello, I have a hen who is a silkie x pekin and a rooster who is a pure pekin. My hen, daphne, looks like a pekin but with a silkie bowl-cut hairdo. I was curious if anyone has had this combo before and how the chicks ended up looking? I feel like they would look just like a pekin. 🐣 Thanks!

    What on earth is this? Help!

    I’m pretty sure it came from one of my drakes but not 100%. I just saw him shaking his beak back and forth like he was attempting to dislodge something or wasn’t keen on what he’d eaten. He’s vocalising and breathing normally but seems hesitant to eat. Would not eat millet and has had only...
