I have four bantam hens that are roughly two months old and have 2 marans(1 rooster and 1 hen) a barnevelder rooster 2 buffs a rir hen and 6 comets and 3 bantam roosters. What I'm wandering is when I can put the bantam hens with the resr of my flock?
I had 38 quail in a brooder and now I'm down to about 30. My problem is some are pecking the top of the beaks off and killing the others. I don't think it is overcrowding because my last hatch I had more than this and had no problems. I even put limbs and such in there thinking it might stop it...
I have had three hens turn up missing with no sign. The first time it was just one then a couple of weeks later I lost two in one day. No feathers,no nothing. Both times it was during the day. Anybody got any suggestions.
