Chicken Banties Be Gone
We decided that the banties were more work than their value. They were cute and fun to watch but with winter coming, it was hard to find a warm place to keep them. The big chickens stay nice and warm in their chicken house but I had a separate area for the banties in the big barn. This area was getting too cold and I decided to give the four banties away. My neighbor said she wanted them so I took them over after dark.
The only reason I got them in the first place was because Karen thought they were so cute and her cousin hatched some out so Karen wanted them. Of course, I was the one having to take care of them. My big ones are easy because I have one huge water container and I can just run hot water over it and thaw it everyday after it freezes. It was a pain to have to do that and then have to thaw the little water container for the banties.
Though they were cute, I will not miss them because I prefer my big chickens much more.
Goodbye banties, hope you like your new home!
Do you raise any farm animals?
