Greetings,
I'm relatively new to chicken keeping and have a couple of questions. I have nine Black Austrolorps in a nice, new (thanks to hubby) coop and I've ordered a flock of Auracanas (sp?). I hope and expect they will live in harmony
My question - now I'm convinced that I must have some bantams too!! I'm especially attracted to the Silkies and Mille Fleurs. Should we build a separate smaller coop for the bantams so they won't have to compete with the bigger birds?
I'm very, very quickly becoming obsessed
