chickens - NOW WITH PICS Empty chickens - NOW WITH PICS

Post by Haych Sun 25 Apr 2010 - 21:55

Well.... I;m not sure if I have just done the most STUPID thing yet....

I bought my daughter a rabbit and my step father-kind-of-person (long story) said that she would do well with chickens.

So, I went to get bantams - but I dont think I have bantams Shocked they seem to be bigger (not that I would know) and he made me buy three not two "incase one dies and makes it hard to introduce another"

I am really dubious that I have made the biggest mistake of my life - can anyone advise me? Sad

Well chickens! bantams are usually pretty small, you would know they were smaller than you're average chicken. They love eating sultana's and you need to put like an pebbly egg shell mix in with them they eat it so that they can form the egg shells, they will also peck at veg etc what are you keeping them in?

I've never heard of anyone keeping rabbits and chickens together... Go on Google Images and look for bantams, you'll soon know whether they are by how fast they grow how large.. Good luck..? Shocked
