Bantam blues

[TheBirdBabe]

I am OBSESSED with bantams. I need to have them in all colors, shapes & styles! I even had to get some babies that I didn't have a few weeks ago. lol

My only problem right now is that I can't find anything that (is on the cheaper side) they can't slip out of to take them outside! My husband said just let them loose in the grass, but I'm not that fast!

Bantam owners, what have you used before?

(A picture of one of the babies when I first got them. Theyre SO CUTE!)

I use a 3x10 foot roll of welded wire, 1/2 by 1 inch opening,

I zip tie it into a circle, add a 5 gallon bucket on it's side for a warm spot, and instant moveable pen for a smaller batch of young chicks. Always supervised.

You can also zip tie a couple together if you want a bigger area and use push in posts to help secure it. You also can add bird netting to the top. Make sure there is shade.

I've also used plastic snow fencing to make a temporary day pen. I use a folding chair as shade.
