Question about bantam weight on treadle feeders…

[Al Gerhart]

Few people keep only bantams so advice should be tailored to a general audience. And the general consensus is that bantams aren't going to be flying three feet or more off the ground......so much helpful but useless info gets posted, why add to it? Better to qualify advice when one posts it, in my opinion at least, thus the capital IF in my reply.

I was trying to tailor my advice to the specific question asked in this thread, which was about a bantam-only flock. There are plenty of other threads with general advice for general audiences.

And the general consensus is that bantams aren't going to be flying three feet or more off the ground

Why not? I've had several breeds of bantams that could easily fly 10+ feet off the ground and 30+ feet horizontal distance.

......so much helpful but useless info gets posted, why add to it? Better to qualify advice when one posts it, in my opinion at least, thus the capital IF in my reply.

Huh? I did qualify my advice. I specifically suggested that my idea might work for BANTAMS that can FLY (although I didn't use caps to yell the first time.)
