I was given a 5 moth old bantam.I am not sure what breed,but she is very tiny.I let my hens free range almost everyday.They are mainly pets,for me anyways.For the grandparents they are just eggs,and somewhat pets.Here on this farm,they must defend themselves,like in the older days.When do not have time to watch them constantly.I am only here on breaks and weekends.Grandparents are out too much,and when they are,they generally aren't watching the chickens.
The bantam is catious.She is also sweet,probably could make her nice house pet,but ain't gonna happen.
We are concerned that she will be a very easy target for hawks.So,I was thinking about putting her in the small dog pen,and give her grains,water,feed,grass etc.But,I figured I didn't wanna leave her alone.So,i'm planning on persauding my grandparents into getting at least two more bantams to live with her,but I wanna plan ahead.
I do not want anything bigger then a silver grey dorking.I want something that lays ok,something that makes a great pet,and honestly,I don't care if it is known to brood a lot.Nothing too aggressive,and it has to be cautious.I don' wanna get something of the same breed.
