Really good to hear! ☺️ I’ll just keep close watch on their activity as it gets colder but won’t worry as much about them. They’re such sweet and friendly little birds with big personalities, I love them!
That’s the hard part since these are barnyard mix bantams from local co-op type feed store, I’m not sure on breed. All 3 have feathered feet, and 2 of the 3 are bearded so they aren’t ameraucana bantams but they seem to look similar to d’Uccle bantams 🧐. The cross-beak ameraucana I have living...
They’re adorable!! That’s at least a good reference point if your more sensitive one seems to be more comfortable and active over 10deg then if I see temp swinging below that overnight, it may be worth pulling the little ones to someplace a bit warmer.
I’m curious what other people do with bantams in the winter. I’ve read lots of things about standard chickens not needing heat and being very cold tolerant as long as the coop is draft free and dry, but I’ve also read about bantams not being as cold tolerant but unsure of how much cold is too...
