I'm glad that you have them safely locked in! It's a good thing they listen to their mama!

Banty's are tiny! We raised them on and off for over 20 years! This is the first time we've had full sized chickens...Dale had to do some remodeling on the coop so they would fit comfortably in there...so far they have plenty of room, I just don't know how much bigger they will all get!

See we never had Banty growing up then did not have birds until like 7 years ago now.. Only bought full size but as new eggs colors came out I bought more birds.
Silkie where bought because one customer likes pickled eggs banty are bite sized
and I make deviled eggs of them
