I saw a neighbor's free ranging Bantam rooster being pursued by 2 of another neighbor's nuisance dogs. They chased him into my yard, and I thought for sure her was going to be killed or maimed. But he stopped short, turned on them, and sort of popped his wings open at them. It startled them and they halted. He flew right in their faces w/ spurs forward and he gave chase.They ran like two sissies, tails between their legs, yelping and crying the whole time. Best poetic justice I've ever seen!
The funny cochin banty saga continues. One of the large turkey's went after a tiny cochin hen the other day. Whether it was mixed up love, or dominance who knows, but she wasnt having any of it. lol. Because of her tiny size she had to leap up into the air to hit him, but hit him she did. lol.
lolllllllllll. Mixed in with my full size hens, I have some banty cochins as well. They're so funny! On the plus side, they are more determined sitters than my full size hens. The banty's hatched my duck & turkey eggs. Seeing them try to cover those large eggs was hilarious, but they managed & most everything hatched. :-)
Those little roosters will do that now don't they? LOL
Actually I trade them at the feed store for sacks of scratch. The man there sells them to the unsuspecting. Those innocent people who just think they are 'cute' little ornamental roosters. ROFL
thank you for posting.. great video these chickens are like a gang of tough chicken hawks.. lol my dad's company logo is a bantam rooster... really he 's used for years... please check out the video I sent you... bye
A 'dag' is an australian light- hearted slang word for someone who is funny/ done something amusing/silly. Hard to explain but it is used a lot here in OZ. Love your chickens.. great vid.
But from the rest of the comment it must be okay to be a 'DAG'. LOL!
I think we have about 25 or so bantams running about. Only 4 roosters, each seems to have his own little flock of hens. Every day is like an Easter Egg hunt out there. Sometimes I'll let the eggs go uncollected for a couple of days so the hens will lay in the same spots. Those hens surely love to hide their little eggs from me. Up in the hay stacks or under firewood too. :~)
You are a complete DAG!! Wow, what a day you had when you came up with this idea. Brilliance!! What is your number of hens to get that many eggs out of bantams? Ours are total slackers, one egg when and if they feel like it here. Have a great Christmas, hope the wounds heal!! ;D
Lucky moved outside with Funky chicken to a little pen. Hoping Funky chicken will teach her how to be a 'real' chicken. Lucky is getting wilder every day so that's good. Will cut em both loose soon and see how it goes. Afraid Lucky will get crushed by a horse she's not very bright like that.
5 more chickies hatched, Cotton Ball is a GOOD mother hen. Every one is different colored. Sooo freakin CUTE!
Bout time to take some of these roosters to the feed store. LOL!
Julie this is a 5 star vid too funny. your so lucky to get to eat them fresh eggs, on the funny side for a moment I thought you had chopped the chickens neck off with all that blood. you got me on that one. LOL
Joe... there ain't enuf to these little birds to make all that effort plucking one worth your while. I just go to the grocery store and BUY a chicken ready to cook for $3. LOL!
We DO love those healthy little eggs.
Grandma would have made us chicken pot pie or dumplings no problem. Me, I'm lazy.
Trade extra little roosters at the feed store for sacks of scratch. The chickens help pay for themselves that way. Plus they're good insect getters around here.
Only name certain 'old timers' around here, Karen.
Eat chicken but we don't eat these. They're so little it wouldn't be worth the effort. We love the eggs tho.
Chickens love their eggs also and don't like me taking eggs away. ROFL!
When we get too many roosters we trade them at the feed store for sacks of grain. Feed store sells the Bantams as ornamentals for $15 each. So he makes money outta the deal and my chickens help pay for themselves.
If you're BRAVE enough to collect the eggs you're welcome to come on over and take them!
Ahhahhaaa!
We needed a video that was just 'fun' for a change.
Seriously, we like the little bitty Bantams. Fun to have as pets and tasty little eggs too. Those miniature chickies do us a service in return... sure do a good job keeping down the insect population around here. :~)
Like this.
I have a rescue rooster, a Welsummer [I think] who is enormous and filled with attitude. The hens don't challenge him, they obey him. We all obey him.

Ummm... the 'blood'... it was ketchup. But don't tell any body okay? (whispers) That can be our little secret.
