old english bantams

Hello. I have several old English bantam chicks that are 6 weeks old. They are fully off of heat. They are pretty much fully feathered except for a bit of down on their heads. I heard they are more fragile than other chicks but I’d like to put them out. My average temps right now are 70 with...

Hello all! Here is my introduction. (1) Are you new to chickens / when did you first get chickens? I am not new to chickens, but I am still new-ish to ducks. I got my first chickens back in 2014. I started with a pair of Old English Game bantams. I then started showing birds. Once I went to...
