I'm so glad I found this site two years ago when we began our adventure to educate ourselves about the possibility of bringing Bantam Silke (Silkie for some) in to our life! I can't believe some people just jump right in! It took us a few months to build an enclosure that allowed our chicks to have an amazing yard. We reinforced our fence, dug down and put in predator wire, built a screen above the entire side yard to protect them. Designing the coop was fun and thank goodness for this site, we got it right the first time. We have a little french mansion for them! We grew organic greens, have never used pesticides for our lawn, etc. It took us a year to really prepare our lives and our home for the chicks so we could be really responsible and ready. We gathered all of the necessary accoutrement. BUT I doubt it would take that much time for everyone else. Well worth it ALL!
We are urban chick lovers so we can't have roosters. Unfortunately, 3 of our little family were boys. Prior to getting our chicks, we made sure we had a safe place for our boys to go to, a friend's farm, if they turned out to be boys. They love their new home and have adapted quite well with the two other roosters (and several hens) there. I was worried because so many articles say that roosters do not get along with other roosters. We were lucky. I miss my boys and will visit them often. They had such amazing personality and were so affectionate! Their baby crowing (we've had them since Mother's Day) was so cute. The hens have adapted to their absence
. We are going to get 3 more. Looking for Bantam Polish Frizzles. WHY are they so difficult to come by? I see frizzle cochin's but not bantam polish Frizzles. Does anyone know why? ALso when I see auctions, I only see EGGS. Does noone sell new chicks? My daughter would love to raise from eggs though. I'd take either! Ideas anyone?
