I could totally see the resemblance with the Barred Rocks! So for the Rhodie and the Barreds, what's the difference for them being bantams rather than their normal size?
Edit: They are from the Coastal store! They couldn't clarify the breeds as the shipment had errors in transportation- they...
Hi all, it’s been a while!
Just got some chicks, bout a few weeks ago. A copper one (Pinto), two black ones (Black Eyed Pea and Black Bean), and a cream one (Chickpea). The gal I got em from said the only thing she knows for sure is that they’re Bantams. I was wondering if anyone recognized...
That’s true, I know a few people who’d be very good owners. Thank you! And lol I have a naughty chicken (not the one in this post) who would not be missed by the others either! 😝
Well, that is an option but I don’t think I could. I love all my hens, and I couldn’t give any of them away since I am so attached to them. Thank you though!
You are right, they are smaller than my RIR, but she also shared her pen with 2 Bantams (I think they were polish) but they were definitely smaller. Nothing ever happened between the three of them either, the 2 polishes passed away due to a predator. I decided to get silkies after some research...
So I had my RIR with two Polish Bantams but sadly the two Polishes passed away this year due to a predator. One of my Polishes was a rooster as well and they did just fine together. Then after a while I decided to get a few Silkies. So they’re about a year younger than my RIR. And yes I have...
Help! This is kind of urgent. So I have a Rhode Island Red hen who is fully grown, and just raised up 2 Silkies. One Silkie is a rooster and the other is a hen. NOTE: my RIR is very friendly and kind and I’ve never noticed any aggressive behavior from her. I decided to finally merge the two...
Hey everyone,
I have one Rhode Island Red hen and two Crévecœurs one of which is a rooster (they are separated from my other hens as of now). My RIR hen just started laying eggs at about 6 months old all of them are the same age btw. My parents have told me we canNOT have anymore chicks (I...
It’s a fairly big area, not sure on measurements tho. It has the coop area and then a run attached to it. Do you think that with three chicks they would be able to help each other out? The level idea is a very good idea and I could definitely try that out.
