Katie Posted May 16, 2008 Share Posted May 16, 2008 Hi all Flo went to the big eglu in the sky last week and left poor merangue all a lonesome I'm wanting to get into keeping bantams instead of hybrids, so i was just after some advice as to whether putting 2 bantams (got my eye on two australorp pullets) in with merangue is a good/bad idea? She isn't bossy but just a lovely placid hen. What are your experiences of this? Katie x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Abbey Road Girl Posted May 16, 2008 Share Posted May 16, 2008 Condolences to you for your loss of Flo. Have no advice based upon experience to offer. Just want to wish you all best. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Katie Posted May 16, 2008 Author Share Posted May 16, 2008 Thanks, was just down to old age the poor girl. It's funny because as much as they got on Flo was definately the one in charge, Merangue now seems liberated! It's like shes got a new lease of life Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tara.F Posted May 16, 2008 Share Posted May 16, 2008 I have bantams and a pepperpot and gingernut ranger all together I found that bantams need to outnumber big girls at the beginning but apart from that, and compared to some of the introduction stories I've read on here, we had a really easy time getting them all together bet your girl will just be soooooo glad for the company Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
