I have a nice quad of Single Comb Nankin Bantams up for consideration - three pullets and one cockerel coming up on one year old - hatched July 2022. All three ladies are laying and the male is calm and friendly. Located in the far north-western corner of Maryland - near PA/DE/NJ. NO SHIPPING...

I have trio of single comb Nankin Bantams looking to move coops. Coming up one year old in late July. Male is calm; pullets are both laying. Price is negotiable. Looking for someone interested in helping conserve this threatened breed. Maryland - no shipping - willing to drive some for a...

What is the best way to really clean the hard-to-reach and non-submersible parts of an incubator? My first thought is to run vinegar water (or even weak bleach-water) through it, like you would a coffee pot, but I hesitate to try that without a reference. Does anyone have a recommendation, or am...

Hi - I'm looking for an emu egg for a dragon-egg craft. A blown egg would be best, but a fresh, unfertilized one would work, as well. I am in the far northeastern corner of Maryland.

I have a bag of human-food-grade dried lentils. There is no way I will consume all of them before their expiration, but I don't want to waste them. I know that my chickens can't have them straight from the bag or even cracked. Should I just cook the dried lentils and feed them straight to my...

I have three pairs of Nankin Bantams up for discussion. Two pairs single comb, 1 pair RC cockerel with SC pullet all hatched mid-June 2022. Nankins are a true bantam, with no large-fowl counterpart. As such, they were widely used to create most of today's bantam chicken breeds. In the breeding...

:celebrate:jumpyDoin' the Happy Chicken Dance! My county just legalized hens on properties of 20,000 sq ft. That means DD's 4H hens are now doubly LEGAL! (4Hers get an exception) Now ... about her little rooster ... :duc

All Right, Folks. I give up. UNCLE! I am THROUGH nursing my Harris Farms Nurture Right 360 through erratic and hatch-crippling humidity swings! With everyone in the household on different work/school schedules, it was relatively easy to monitor and adjust the humidity as needed, but now that...

I'm flabbergasted! Someone on FB was asking about Corid. Apparently the local TSC was out. Someone suggested a mixture of several ounces of bleach and sugar in a gallon of water. Even if it worked for someone else as a home remedy, I would be terrified of getting the mixture off and killing my...

This is Avatar - a 14 month old Nankin bantam rooster. He is currently part of our "Bachelor Flock" - a group of 8 males ranging in age from 6 months to three years. They get along very well, but DD noticed that they've been "fighting" lately, because most have what looked to her like dried...

I just received my order of 6 EE bantam day-olds from a major hatchery. The PO had them a day too long and the heat definitely got to them. We lost one in-transit. Two have bloody nares ... one significantly. The one with the worst nare has badly stretched legs, as well. They push straight out...

I have a Nankin bantam egg that was badly damaged while I was changing food and water for our broody. Mama was sweet and snuggly buff bantam cochin until her first chick hatched. Now Gem is GemZilla. I was not expecting a violent attack, but she jumped at me, landing hard on her nest. One egg...

BARGAIN PRICED! Six Asian Black pullets - three months old seek employment in the Egg Production Business. These beautiful young ladies were originally purchased as tiny chicks as a 4H Egg-to-Eggs production project. Covid sidelined the Fair season, so we find ourselves with at least six...

I'm looking for a few bantam Easter Eggers. Pullets would be great, but so would SR chicks or fertile eggs. I'm in the far north-eastern corner of MD, but can travel a bit. If someone is interested in a trade, I have a few Nankin Bantam chicks available and six started Asian pullets.

Cecil County, Maryland - Started Pullets! I have six Asian Black pullets for sale - about 6 weeks old. We planned on using them for a 4H project, but it doesn't look like our Fair's gonna happen, this summer, so ... if anyone is looking for a ready-made flock, here's your chance. If you'd like...

Does anyone in or near Maryland have bantam Easter Egger chicks available? Straight run is fine, pullets are even better, but I won't hold my breath. I'm not in a major hurry; I just want to add some color to my bantam egg basket.

Do you, or someone you know, have a sweet-natured black Silkie lady looking to spend the rest of her life living in the lap of luxury? Due to the recent demise of Herman the House Rooster (RIP sweet Herman,) The Melancholy Rooster (@MROO) has an immediate opening for a SILKIE LAP CHICKEN. The...

I am SO sad, right now. We just lost Herman the House Rooster! It looks like this crazy, wet, up-and-down-temp Winter has finally caught up with us, here in Maryland. Despite the elevation of his run, every time it deluged, here (and it deluged a LOT this winter,) Herman's run would muck up...

I'd like to add some color to my egg basket, but I have really tiny bantams (Nankins,) so I need other small bantams. Does anyone have or know where I can get Bantam Easter Egger hatching eggs? I'm not in a major hurry, so I can wait until warmer weather for shipping, but if I can find them...

Add Some Endangered History to Your Flock! Rose Comb Nankins: I currently have four RC Nankin Bantam roosters in need of their own harems. They are one and two years old, well past the young hormonal craziness! Two have been used in classroom Breed Conservation talks and will walk on a leash...
