    Croad langshan

    In search of BANTAM croad langshan chicks, pullets and/or hatching eggs. I will pay extra if they are/lay heavy bloom with the pink/plum tones I’m located in California, but will happily pay shipping. I know there are bantams of this breed in Australia but having a tough time locating a...

    BACKYARD CEDAR PLAYHOUSE

    So cute! What kind of chickens did you get? We’re adding a hardware clothed mirror opening in the eaves similar to what you did. Appreciate your pic. That roost level with the nest boxes is one of the playhouse coops limitations I think. I plan on probably making a board to block the nest...

    BACKYARD CEDAR PLAYHOUSE

    How’s your playhouse coop conversion going? I’m rehabbing a playhouse that was converted into a coop now. Would love to trade ideas with you. I’m really studying how to add ventilation. Here’s what I’m working on

    Bantam chicks same size as standard chicks??

    Oh they’re precious! That was helpful - thank you! I’m still trying to determine if my little hens would like a narrower roosting bar, like 2-3”. What do yours like? I’m thinking I should make the treads on their ramp closer too. Any thoughts?

    Bantam chicks same size as standard chicks??

    I see this post was from May - what happened? How did their growing progress? I have EE, green queen, Welsummer and d’Uccle bantams arriving soon and am very curious about the size the chicks will be vs. standard chickens.

    Bantam Roosting Bar Diameter???

    But I still would love to hear from some bantam owners on the roosting bar diameter. Banties will be half the size of a regular chicken. I understand they sleep on their feet and need adequate width to the bar for this. Bantams are smaller though and a 4” bar seems like their booties won’t...

    Bantam Roosting Bar Diameter???

    Thank you both for your input! Agreed - 6 nest boxes is overkill but we didn’t design this coop 🤷🏻‍♀️. It’s a hand me down so to speak. It does have a small footprint so I think the roosts will have to stay low & unfortunately level with the nest boxes but I can make a board to block the nest...

    Bantam Roosting Bar Diameter???

    Hi All! I’m rehabbing a hand me down chicken coop to house (6 max) assorted Bantams. What diameter of roosting bar do they need? The old bars were 2” x 4” laying on the wide side. Would Bantams prefer the narrower 2” side for their smaller feet? Any other areas of the coop I should try to...

    Are heat plates really not for mail order chicks?

    Thank you Nat! I have ordered my first chicks ever and they are little Bantam girls who probably will need a little extra. Your explanation really helped me understand their needs! I wish the hatcheries explained things as well as you do. I’ll be getting a heat lamp ASAP in anticipation of...
