i had a flock of standards last year. black australorp and ee's. i never could find them because they were always down in the back woods scratching around and what ever.
well i got rid of them middle of last year and got some banties. as of now i have a danver, oegb, modern game, cochin, pyncheon, and a mutt or two.well they dont go anywhere. the standards last year more often then not were 200-500 yards away from the coop. the banties i have currently are lucky to go 10 yards.
i dont really have a problem with that, i just enjoyed seeing the standards scratching around in the woods. theyre are woods like 20 yards be hind my coop but im lucky to see the banties go there 1 time every month. it would be nice to see them go in the woods and scratch around and what have you but they just wont.
do you think that there is any reason for that
like i said its not a problem i just wanted to know why
also if this is common among banties is there a breed that ranges for them others
thanks for the help
