One of my chickens hatched a batch last year and everything went fine. But this year I had someone watching my chickens while I was away and one of the hens got out of the pen and layed a nest of eggs. When I finally found her I didn't know how long she had been sitting on them so I figured it...
I've done that same thing before. Just I'm concerned about their size. Is it safe to put small bantams in with large breed chickens? Because that is about their size.
I've had chickens for two years now and last year I added some more to the flock. But this year I'm concerned that my Silkie/Wyandotte hen crosses are going to be to small. (The roosters from the same batch are normal size.) They are four months and only about a quarter of most of my other hens'...
The three Black Giant / Silky and three silver-laced Wyandotte / Silky mixes were a honest mistake. But were a great experience considering they were the first batch of chicks that my hens hatched.
