"Bantam" chicken, the tiny ones. I've never held one before so I was quite scared. But they were quite tame if you just hold them properly. My aunt gave me 1 male and 2 females and when we put them in the same pen they started pecking at each other. So we had to make a division. I just fed them some pellets, cooked rice and oatmeal. Still thinking about what toys I could put inside the pen so they won't get so bored, since I cannot let them out because of our dog.

Interesting. Are they easy to care for?

So far so good, they're not so picky with food, and they even stop eating when they're full.

They are going to need room to move around and get exercise. Please don't plan on keeping them in small cages forever. They will die young that way.

My dad made a huge cage, fortunately. I still don't know how i can let them wander in the garden since it's hard to catch them after. One of them got out and my dog tried to bite her.

@lady1993 I used to get mine back in the coop when I let them free range by bringing a treat and hollering, "it's treat time!!" and they all come running.

@kareng My dad and I just made a sort of extension beside the coop so they can at least stretch their legs for a few hours.
