Is 10 too many?

hi,think it is all down to each individual personally,my garden is proberly 45 ft wide and 100 ft and i have 7 bantams , 2 cocks and 5 hens, with the aim of getting 3 or 4 more hens(bantams) they are all out during the day and put themselves away,i stuck with bantams because they dont do half as much damage as the larger chooks! if i were you i would have ten,but thats just me and i love mine..

I love bantams too Yeti and don't think I would be without mine, they have such huge personalities. That said, they are also incredibly naughty, being great escapologists despite having a large enclosure out in the paddock, they will still try and fly out or push under the fence to go and lay away in the hedges when they are going broody.
