Space requirements for bantam chickens | Cochin Vlog

I’m giving my opinion on coop space for bantam chickens. I raise Cochin bantams and this is what I do.

What are you using on the ground ; is it easy to clean thank you so much to show us your beautiful chicken

[@ThisOldGreenhouse]

@@craft-fun-tastic5983 Oh you’re welcome ☺️. I use and easy sift very fine pine shaving

[@CelticBat1994]

Hi what would you recommend for only 6 bantams? I am going to be building a run enclosure for them out my back garden. Unsure how big for only 6. Your advice would be really appreciated.

[@cassandrareinhart1712]

In the coop- 12 square feet, run - 30square feet unless they are free ranging according to her math

[@sarahbartlett1196]

How old are these ones? Are they fully grown? Thank you.

[@ThisOldGreenhouse]

Hello, The ones on the left side are fully grown… The ones on the right side are juveniles. They’ll grow a little bit more and fill out.

[@kathleenmonsegue9700]

Are Cochin bantams noisy or quiet

[@ThisOldGreenhouse]

@@kathleenmonsegue9700 I have some that are noisy and some that are not so really depends on the birds. My roo is very quiet and hardly ever crows and then I have had some that crow more than others.… but overall I do not think they are very noisy.

Liked and subscribed because I have those muck boots too!

[@Winter_droid]

But I have a question do I need to make them free range becuase I live in street it allows us but we do have crops

[@oddlypurrfect]

Aloha I absolutely love your chicks and how well you care for them. I was wondering if you ship your chicks or their fertilized eggs😊 I live in Hawaii…

[@ThisOldGreenhouse]

All my growouts are just starting to lay. Not getting too many eggs just yet especially since we are going into Winter. Hopefully it will pick up soon! I will look into shipping there. Hawaii that’s awesome! My husband has always wanted to go there just so far away! ☺️

We have a very large area for out 13 Bantam chickens although i have room for at least a 100. 3hrs before dark i let them out to free range as im able to watch them . Our chickens are tame and you walk up them and pick them up. Minee are COCHIN BANTAMS and are absolutely beautiful. I have 12 hens 1 roster. They look like aa little fluffy ball and i think they are the cutest breed .the pen is predator safe for them too. ❤

[@brendatevepaugh]

Are those pine shavings that you have on the ground? How often do you have to replace?

[@ThisOldGreenhouse]

Yes they are. I use the ultra fine and just spot clean at least once a week. I do a full replacement maybe 2-3 times per year. It’s real easy to scoop poop. It’s almost like litter.

[@ericreynolds2010]

Where do you get your chickens? I really love the colors

[@ThisOldGreenhouse]

Thank you . They are from my own stock.

[@Winter_droid]

Thank you this is gonna help convince my parent to get them

[@artisanvalley]

Your little chooks are gorgeous. I’ve got some Mille fleur Peking bantams in the incubator atm, fingers crossed!

[@ThisOldGreenhouse]

Thank you and that is exciting!!

[@Tootnscoot]

Mille fleur was one of my favorite when breeding. Sweetest chickens in my opinion. My ex wife had one a rooster Mille fleur that would ride on her shoulder and when we mowed the yard it would fly up and ride the mower with us, name was Elvis and he was a ladies man. He loved women, any woman, he'd strut his stuff and regularly found his way in the house to cuddle with my step daughter.
