Bantams, being smaller, donât need as much space per bird. This is one reason they are popular in backyard flocks. 2 square feet per bird is adequate if they are allowed daytime forage, so a 4â² by 8â² coop could house 16 bantams. We recommend a minimum of 5 square feet per bantam if they are kept confined, so a 5â² by 10â² coop could contain 10 bantams.

Though it may be correlated with higher anxiety levels, there are likely reasons beyond the vitamin itself - reasons that will be discussed later in this article.
