Hey All! I have 5 Bantams (3 cochin, a Sebright (super small!) and a Sultan). I want to add 3 BOs next Spring as my little girls aren't much for producing eggs. They're cute as heck but too small. So, my question is: Can I have 3 standard hens with my 5 bantams? I plan on getting babies, keeping them inside until the weather breaks and integrating them slowly. 2 of my cochins are only 6 weeks old, the rest are 6 months old and so far, the flock is very bonded. I am hoping to do the same with the BOs next spring.
My coop is 4dx8wx6h. The girls tend to roost together on the far right of the roost, all 5 fill up a 3 ft. space. I plan on adding more roosts. Oh, and I am also thinking of getting another coop off EBay so that they can spread out to a new coop if they want and have it as a "bad chicken" coop as well.
So, what do you think?
