sorry i know im a pain with all my questions lol

 

its just a quick one lol i was just wondering how many bantam orps can i have in a and a ,the run size is not a issue as im going to have a new WIR .are the bantams about the same size as a normal hybrid

im ive been offered 12 mixed bantam orpington eggs and i really want some orps so just trying to work out how many i could keep in my space

[Redwing]

they are chunky little things so I'd say max of five

[the-real-tinkerbell]

2 in one and 3 in the other ? wicth one should i put 3 in ,but saying that im guessing they will make there own mind up

[Redwing]

Sorry I misunderstood, I thought you were talking about one or the other

 

About 4/5 bantam orps could sleep in one Eglu

 

Provided you have the run room this means you could have up to ten altogether

oh wow dont tell me that lol 10 orps how cool would that be

Are the bantam Orpys about the same size as a hybrid chook? I so want an Orpington but feel the "large" version will be too big to add to my flock of 8, living in a cube???? Whereas a chook about hybrid size would be fine I think???

[the-real-tinkerbell]

from what i can gather they are just a little smaller that a big hybrid
