Frog39 Posted June 18, 2014 Share Posted June 18, 2014 Hello everyone, Band new to this chicken keeping business - got our coop /run from chickencoopsdirect - looks great, ordered hardwood wood chips for the run floor and this weekend planning to get all the other bits and pieces. All being well we'll get our hens next week. Anyway, I'd love to get 3 hens and a bantam or 2 but not sure if this combination would be a good one. Would the bantams get picked on by the hens? I wondered if, with them all being at pol, purchased at the same time and all moving in to their brand new coop/run together they would settle and be happy together. Can anyone advise me if they have done this or have any info on it? The hens will be in the run all day with a chance most evenings to potter about in the garden. The coop/run is 41 sq feet so not huge if the bantams need to get away from the bigger girls. If it's best not to mix them then I'll just stick to 3 or 4 hens. Can't wait!

Chickabee Posted June 18, 2014 Share Posted June 18, 2014 I've got a very eclectic mix. They get on just fine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
