Cold harder on Bantams then standards? Mine are not doing well..

[MakNat]

I have both... Young and old.. The Bantams just seem get to very snotty and weak... I have 2 4 month old bantam roosters that are all of a sudden very sick... Snotty, sneezing, they eat like they are starving though, and needy acting. I catch them hanging by the brooder cages. Its like they are begging me to let them under the light. I can arrange things so those 2 will be able to have a lamp for awhile... I'm not real sure what to do here. Oh BTW they will be in a cage Alone..... I had it in mind last year to cull anything that got sick, but these are my extra special little tiny bantam tame boys... Or should I stick the to the culling and not risk the rest of my birds getting sick.. I'm just thiking they are to little to handle the cold and have weakened... I need advice. I know how to treat them if need be.. Thank you.

I would think it depends on the kind of bantam. My wyandottes have done very well with the cold.
