Well this is a problem I hadn’t anticipated 😂

Bantams are so tiny

Welcome!
Yes, very tiny! They can also get through chicken wire, which I hope you aren't using anyway. Your Belgin d'Uccles (is that what they are?) will also be able to fly as soon as three weeks of age, so be ready!

Omg!!! That’s so cute! They’re so little!

I think the black ones (and red one) are cochin bantams (but could also be frizzles? I ordered 4 of each) but the two in the feeder are some of our easter egger bantams.. I think we do have two d'Uccles - one is super tiny, smaller than the EE's shown but it's not pictured and I don't think it's going to make it (we also had two DOA in the shipment, one I think was a porcelain d'Uccle and the other a red cochin or frizzle), but I've done what I can to get it eating and drinking so fingers crossed it pulls through.

For now they're in a concrete mixing tub inside critter nation cage (1/2 bar spacing, very escape proof)) - this was mostly just temporary to keep them closer to food/water/heat and it keeps them closer to eye level which makes it easier to see them all. Once I'm sure they've all figured out how to stay alive they'll be moved into a larger brooder cage with 1/2 HC.

How funny! Those little buggers can fit in the tiniest spaces!

I always have a chick getting into or stuck somewhere. Regardless of size
This was one of my wyandottes as a chick. Sje loved getting into the feeder.

And this is one my silkie hen was raising that I thought was stuck in the big hens feeder (turns out she was just eating like this and then wriggled out when she was done even though the chicks have a lower feeder. It really is interesting to watch the predicaments they get themselves into sometimes

@Stephh0701, that's so cute with the one in the hen feeder - she's up on her tippy toes!

Ok that last photo is hilarious! She really looks stuck in there!

And I have a similar chick feeder and I also leave the mason jar off... chicks would just sit in the middle and eat around themselve.s

I was worried so I walked over and when she hear me open the top of the cage she wriggled out and looked at me like "what?!" So I sat there and watched and she jumped back up and dove right back in I never knew chickens would be so amusing when I started this journey!
