I've got one that's been in for 4 days and still clucking and acting broody. Bantams can be hard to stop. They usually wont start back laying for 4 or 5 days but you can put them back in the general population as soon as she stops acting like she would go right back on the nest and keep trying...

That's probably where he's going. I've got some new chicks coming and I may try again with one of them. The little pullet really wants to be a pet but I can't with him around and he's not just protecting her. I still can't understand why I'm just having trouble with that breed. It's not one that...

I'll give it a try. I can't even treat him or the hens. He just attacks. I must have had a hundred roosters and only had one mean one. It's just that every one of this breed has been like this.

Hardly any stores around here get Bantams.. I'm having to order mine. I've got two more weeks before the one I want become available.

I agree completely with putting them in the cage with the wire bottom. I've had all kinds of bantams and they all get broody esp the cochins.. The cochins were always almost impossible to stop till I started using the cage technique. Just them and food and water and absolutely nothing to sit on...
