I have 5 bantams that are 4-5 years old and are not laying as well as they used to. I want to know if I can introduce new bantams to this group? Someone told...
Mell, I guess everyone is swamped. I am overrun with about 300 bantam chicks of various ages that I need to put into larger coops. And was gone for a week...
I have a porcelain Pyncheon cockerel (true bantam) that at the appropriate time, started to make the crowing attempts. However, a couple of OEG bantam hens...
I just added 6 pictures of an 8pen combination coop I am building (under clean legged bantams in the photo section). I did not take any pictures before the...
One of my girls is starting to act like she maybe going broody. Normally she is very sweet and loves attention. Today she thought she was going to take my arm...
Dawn, Sorry lots of us are swamped at this time of year with new chicks and all. And for almost two weeks I have not had a chance to sit down with 300...
I added a new picture of the side of the coop framed in. I have done more, I just need to add some more pictures. I am almost finished with four of the...
Michael, No, not right now they would not want to live with me! I still did not get part of it done yesterday and I still have 8 super crowded brooder pens...
I have a good home to offer some nice brown egg laying banty hens (only) If you have any banty hens that you no longer want or can keep and live within a 50...
Reb, I do not know where Danville is, but I live a few miles south of the Virginia border in Wake Forest, NC. Nice brown egg laying bantams is a hard thing to...
... Mark I originally wanted the little Banty's to start with but got talked into the larger breed chickens of which I have 1 Jersey Giant, 1 Rhode Island Red,...
Reb, I am flexible. I will be culling a bunch of bantam olive egger roosters within about two weeks (and maybe some others, depending on numbers) and will...
A long time ago I had found some little red banty's that someone had left in a box alongside the road. They were just left out in the hot sun with no food, no...
Reb, Sounds like these might have been bantam Rhode Island Reds. I tried to get some, and bought some eggs (shipped) but none hatched. Thing is, these are...
I just lost another bird, Storm (my girls name them) to a Hawk yesterday. It was one of my two OEGb self blue hens I hatched out in 2007 (the only two that...
Sorry to hear about Storm. Â It's never easy!! Â Some people just don't understand that they're our pets. Â We have major coyotes here ad have to lock up by 8...
I have begun to tweet, yep, decided to join the ever growing popularity of Twitter. Check out my page and become a friend. http://twitter.com/ShowMeSilkies...
Betsy, Yes it is just a chicken, but they are much more than that to me. My freedom was taken away too as now I have to be more vigilant when they are our and...
I have had good luck hanging CD's in the yard. I will be able to say for sure by Christmas, as I lost two last fall (Thanksgiving week and Dec 12th) to a...
Jane, I thought I did as you instructed last time and there were two CDs no more than 5 yards away from him. They were just not spanning the expanse of where...
Mark, No ...they're pets, part of the family.....not JUST a chicken! If they have a name they are special! Â I love my girls (and 2 boys) and talk to them and...
