The two other chickens (one year older than the babies) never bothered with the small ones. One of the four was a rooster and we had to eat him, but the other three are happily living in our garden with the two others. But the little bantam is bullied often by her 'own' babies who are double the size... <br />If you borrow the bantam you have to have her for at least the time to raise the chickens, that's true.Wilmahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04133906706527010277noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1344790453643766925.post-16660632253935964962012-01-11T13:42:12.189+08:002012-01-11T13:42:12.189+08:00Thanks for the kind offer.

The other concern we have is that the big chooks will hurt the young chicks, but if one of ours feels like the mum she will protect them...Adamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08366555870844713776noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1344790453643766925.post-43516322122846206822012-01-09T23:14:54.148+08:002012-01-09T23:14:54.148+08:00You can borrow my little bantam for a while if you...You can borrow my little bantam for a while if you like?
