Call Ducks or Bantams...Crazy Animals Around the Farm

[chickens really]

How many bantams do you think your coop could house comfortably?

Only a few more..

Only a few more..

Like 20?
3 bantams need the same space as a large fowl chicken.

My Coop is 8X14 so is my Run...

Huh..4 more is all I'm thinking.

You could get away with 10-15 living comfortably in your setup.

Hell NO! ...I don't need or want that many. These are just pets. I'm happy with just these actually but would like about 3 or 4 more.

So several hours ago I went to let my ducks out and when I opened the door I saw into the coop and found this:

I have not idea how long they have been in there! I thought my girls had not been laying eggs, but I guess they have. The eggs are not warm so the girls are deff not sitting on them, but once they get to the right amount of eggs they want will they sit...even in the winter? If they don't s...I have no problem with it...I will let them sit in the spring. I have realized that some days they hang in there coop a lot of the day...but I don't think they are sitting....if so..then they are not being good moms...considering they get off of it a lot! Just thought I would share and get some insight about it!

Also some pics of my ducks...and dog...cuz I have not updated in a while(these pics where from this morning)

Jeffery...loves to play in his water:

Jessie looks so so sad...but when I told her she could get some cat food she jumped up!

I'd collect and toss them in the garbage. Definitely too cold to still be viable anyways. Start collecting eggs daily. Wait till spring.
