The bantam hens in the 1st photo include a black silkie, frizzle satin, and partridge silkie. I only sell bantam chickens, so all females will be under 3 lbs and males under 4 lbs. All bantams receive great care and repay with daily eggs of differing shapes and colors. My chickens and chicks eat top quality food and supplements. The adult bantams are all parasite and disease free and see an avian vet for check-ups quarterly. EGGS: I can arrange to meet you in Natomas or Davis on weekends only (if either of these locations work better for you). All other days for pick-up will be in West Sacramento. Each bantam egg will be labeled with the type of hen, hen's name, and an "x" for Chicken Little or no "x" for Firefly. Some of the colors include lemon blue, partridge, blue, black, white, brown, orange, beige, birchen, red, and gray. The feathering can be smooth and frizzled. You will receive a mixture of bantams that will weigh 3 lbs for hens and 3.5 lbs for roosters. The eggs are fresh, stored large side up, and unwashed to ensure maximum hatching. Always allow for the eggs to acclimate to room temperature before placing them in a preheated incubator. My home hatches are very high at 100 degrees F and 50% humidity. Expect the eggs to hatch within 19 to 22 days (outside temperature can be a factor for speed). FUTURE CHICKS: Chicks will be available for sale by mid-March. You can always request a separate hatch of 5 chicks or more 1 month in advance. The types should include bantam cochin, silkie, and satin (frizzle and smooth) chicks-black, blue, paint, birchen, splash, orange, and buff. The chicks will be able to handle 70 degree weather at 1 month and 60 degree weather at 2 months. Chicks can be integrated with adults at around 3 months old (when they are 2/3rds their final size). All of these active sweet chicks are being raised by silkie and cochin hens in bins indoors or under heat lamps for the first month. Feed adolescent chickens chick starter until they turn 5 months old (or grower feed at 3 months), and then switch to layer feed to build their reserves for laying at approximately 6 months. They can handle snacks such as scrambled eggs, plain yogurt, and chick sticks after 2 weeks. Depending on the type of chicken, they should start laying eggs between 5 to 8 months old. FUTURE SEXED BANTAMS: Sexed bantam chicks will be available by early May. The bantam pullets will include Easter Eggers, Golden Laced Cochins, Barred Cochins, Rhode Island Reds, Barred Rocks, Red Cochins, and Buff Brahmas. Sexed chicks will not include Silkies.
