Pro - Does anyone else's nest boxes get soaked in rain?

[Chickabee]

I've just seen a couple of lovely Bantams on preloved, but I'm not sure how many I can keep in a classic. I've currently got 3. Quite happy to extend the run and let them out to free range after a while. I've got 5 in my classic and they range from medium to welsummer size. They're perfectly happy. They have got an extended run and a WIR

Have you got somewhere to quarantine them? I wouldn't just whack them straight in with your existing hens just in case.

 

The received wisdom is that you can get 6 bantams in a Classic, with an extended run.

[Chickabee]

No, your right. I have decided against it anyway. Was just getting a bit excited

I have 5 and there is plenty of room.
