I get mine from the animal feed store 55p per kilo. They do stuff for horses, fish, cage birds, cats, dogs and poultry.

Let us know how they all settle in together. Are the banties going to be in with the big girls :?:

well i`m going to try them as they are all young. asked advice here and on p.poultry and most said it should be ok...any thoughts?

Just keep an eye on them for a while to make sure the little ones don't get bullied. As they are all new together they should be fine, trickier if your introducing to an established flock :!:

will do. as you say,was hoping that as they are young they will sort everything out without too much aggro....will keep you posted!
