Humm.. you have given me something to think about... I'm just worried that they wont survive the an Oklahoma winter, the one Cochin and One bantam I have now refuse to use the ramp for their coop and every night I worry they are going to Freeze to death! I just could not bear to loose anymore chickens!

Do your baties do alright in the winter??
Thanks!

I really do! I don't have very many barred birds and would like to throw some of that into the flock! Actually...until I attend POOPS I won't have any...wait i am telling a fib...I think I have two babies that are barred but they don't count cuz they are packing peanuts. The boy has a barred shamo bantam...I think they will go in with the sumo birds...my jap/pheonix/cornish idea....don't ask just think short stocky big tail! They will be the next big craze!

I have a lot of barred rocks - and one Buff Cochin roo - I guess he like those barred rocks, though because in the last hatch I got a beautiful barred cochin roo.. he's tooo cute!

Also, many years ago, I had snakes in the SF Bay area. I had two Columbian Boas, a Burmese Python, two Carpet Pythons - oh, and an iguana for good measure! I should dig out some of my old photos... you'd love them!

I also have bantams, they do just as well as others if you protect them. I also had some stupid one's that wanted to roost outside in the rain/snow.

NanaKat, have a good day!
