mine do! my top rooster who owns the yard is a bantam and almost all of his hens are regular size.
Yes the eggs will be fertile, and the chickens produced will normally be a slightly oversized bantam, colouring and markings will be mixed.
Yes, a male rooster can breed with any other breed of female chicken.
Yes. As long as the rooster is able to mount the back (saddle) of the hen he can mate with a normal size hen.
They can if the sire is full size. If the rooster who fertilizes the bantam hen is standard size then the offspring can be standard size.
free range chickens are more free to move however caged chickens are like they are I prison and can hardly move
As free-range, natural, no hormones , cruelty-free. Whatever justifies the higher price. To me , they taste wild, like prairie chickens.
No
They can. Free range chickens get along with most other animals and those that are a problem, the hens avoid. Emu's would tend to ignore the smaller birds, and the chickens would not be able to handle the larger size feed.
Yes they do. A few free range chickens in your yard is a natural way to keep insects in control and you get free eggs in exchange.
You don't. "Free-range' chickens forage for their own food, so they must be a low-density (fewer chickens per acre) flock for the insects and greens naturally available to sustain them. Herding (chickens with a hen house and small yard, into which you throw feed, is NOT free range.
Yes. Not just rooster, all chickens are omnivores. Chickens will eat just about everything. Free range chickens will eat fresh greens, fruit, bugs, grubs, insects and worms. Chickens can often be seen scratching around in the dirt and grass searching for tasty additions to their regular diet of grains.
Free range chickens are raised outdoors with natural foods while industrial chicken houses have thousands of chickens in one place and are fed foods with antibiotics and steroids. Yuck.
Shoprite does in fact carry free range beef and chickens. They carry a brand of beef called Clayton's, which is all natural. Quite a few different brands of chicken sold in their markets are free range.
Maybe, maybe not
Well, how many cross the road?
Most fruits are fine to feed to chickens. However, never feed your chickens any kind of citrus.
