They live in a souped up doghouse, and it does not have the electricity that makes my large 25-bird coop so nice. I want bantams to live with my polish however because they are picked on heavily by the larger birds, and bantams would be easier for them to handle. Can you suggest any other breeds who would get along well with two polish that are on the smaller standard/bantam side? I am at my wits end with what to get for companions.
I'd suggest easter eggers. They are so gentle and sweet
I might try those. They are easy for me to get my hands on. I originally did not want those because a test with my EE hen ended in her cornering the polish. I had the polish out the other day though, and I think they like to attack whoever doesnt attack them so they feel powerful. Anyway, they terrorized a red star hen and my old buff orpington.
