Lisa, You sent me some comments and asked some questions, so I will answer you here. I have some Seramas and have read a lot, but don't know as much as I...
Happy New Year to all you Bantam Chicken Lovers. _________________ Part of my update with Lisa My "bantam" Wyandotte was raised by my smallest hen, "Twixie" a ...
Hi Mark, I see you are learning the ins and outs of raising poultry real fast. I can remember when we had a discussion on the size of eggs versus a critical...
Dean, As always, very good information, if I just knew 10% of what you know, I would be a chicken expert. I don't care about true bantams or not, but for the...
Marc and Dean, your discussion of creation of bantam breeds and their size made me start thinking. I have finally been able to start my quiet rooster project,...
Michael, Works for me, they would be smaller than some of the "bantams" I now have, but Dean has better ideas than I do. You should also post your plans on the...
Hi Mark, Actually if you knew everything that I knew you would still have a whole lot more left to learn. I am still learning myself. This is one hobby that...
... Marc, Squeaky Bantams has been inactive for a long time, so I posted here. You received some hatching eggs from Patrick, correct? How well did they...
Michael, None of the two batches of Serama eggs from quiet roosters hatched that I got from Patrick and in fact most of them became rotten and several exploded...
Dean, Well I do have a ton to learn, I just wished that most of it came from folks like you in stead of me making very stupid mistakes on my own that I should...
Hi Michael, For many years now I have been observing a natural phenemenon taking place in many of the preservation fancier flocks. In nature the size of a...
... that ... Marc, I am so sorry to hear that. The last time I shipped any eggs was last summer when I sent some golden pheasant eggs from Texas to Missouri....
... Thanks, Dean. It seems we will soon have the chance to see. Today I got my first egg from a mating of my semi-quiet Serama rooster to one of his...
Hello everyone. I acquired a banty about a week ago when we went to pick up some barred rock girls at a poultry farm. Around the corner came this tiny little...
Michael, I have had some really good hatches from shipped eggs if they were packed well and I went to pick them up at the post office and did not let them sit...
Betsy, Welcome, glad to have you. Ask on and we will try to answer. I will try to answer the questions below as best I can. If you upload a picture, we can...

Hi Michael,I want to see the results of the cross of the father X the Golden neck daughter. I see I am not the only one who likes that color. It is an...
Hi Mark, I wouldn't be so quick to speculate on the why. If eggs were washed enough to hurt them then they were probably jarred up pretty good in the process....
Dean, Thanks for your advice. And yes, I did jump to conclusions, but of all of the many eggs I have had shipped to me, both of these batches of Serama eggs...
... Since she has piqued your interest, I've created an album, "Quiet Rooster Project", with photos of her, her parents, and one brother and sister. The...
I am not really sure how old Tinker Belle is. Can you tell by the color of her legs? They aren't yellow if that matters. The new barred rocks in our flock...
Betsey, Unfortunately, I have no idea how to guess the age of a chicken unless I was the one that had it as a chick and I kept records. I believe that now and...
I am looking for some ideas as to what the best bantam is that could be a pet. Here are some requirements: okay in winter, docile/laid back, non-feathered...
Betsy, I'm rather partial to the breed but I would suggest a Silkie or a couple Silkies. They are very tame, docile and friendly. If you like you can check out...
Betsy, Yes, as David said, Silkies might be a good choice for you. Silkies have a good reputation for being calm, but also broody a good part of the time and...
Don't silkies have feathery feet? They would not be free ranging but in a coop with an attached run - a 12 X 6 dog kennel. Wouldn't they get filthy?? ...
Betsy, what part of the country do you live in? That will help decide how much cold tolerance your breed should have. To suggest a breed that is very...
