These would be our first bantams. We plan on separate area from our larger hens, they free range during the day. Our neighbors had bantams free range and picked off very quickly by hawks.
Thanks for the advice. Next question...Where is a good breeder for these guys?
Any advice on specific breeds that are known not to get along. I have a small flock of Hyline brown pullets( production egg layer) and want to add some chicks this spring.
My 15 hyline brown pullets have been laying wonderful brown eggs daily since August. All of their combs and waffles are still bright red but some have pale yellow legs. What can I feed them to restore the yellow? They currently get free choice Purinia Layena crumbles daily, 1 cup of stratch...
New to being a chicken mama and all of the illnesses. Saw bloody poo this morning and started corid today. Isolated 3 that looked sick. All 7 weeks old. They are drinking okay. What are the chances they will survive. All of them seemed fine yesterday.
