I tried to keep my bantams seperate from my standards, but they kept going to bed in the 'big girl's coop' each evening. I finally just left them there.
I have to give the millies their treats seperately, since the big girls are pushy. But other than that they seem to do well together. And I like giving the millies one-on-one attention anyway. That's why they cooperate for photo sessions and such.
I hatched chicks from my millies in the bator last month. What sweeties. I'm hoping to add a few more hens to my little flock.
I just love the d'Uccles foot feathers, and watching them walk around (they waddle a lot like ducks). Also, d'Uccles have the neatest voices. They don't 'talk' the same way that regular hens do. Mine are the mille fleur pattern, so mahogany brown with white and black designs on their feathers. I think they're absolutely beautiful!
And so did the folks who petted them at our Christmas party last year. We had the millies on the porch and they
knew they were eye candy! They strutted & purred for our guests. So cute!
I hope you have a good hatch with your golden comets. Maybe on your next hatch you should try some millies
Here's Georgie and TN before they won at the poultry show last year:
