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.

Vitamin D deficiency may cause low moods and muscle weakness -- symptoms that may also stem from depression and anxiety. Since vitamin D helps regulate your blood pressure, consuming too little may increase your risk for high blood pressure -- a condition also associated with anxiety.
Research has found that deficiencies in B vitamins may play a role in depression and anxiety. One study, for example, found that patients with higher concentrations of vitamin B12 in their blood responded better to treatment with antidepressants, suggesting that B12 supplementation may boost the drugs effectiveness.or some people, supplementing with vitamins may be an alternative to traditional antidepressants; others might find that increasing vitamin intake is a good complement to other treatments for anxiety and depression.
