Years ago when my children were small I kept bantums the eggs were lovely and we also had some hatch.Didnt have any experience just got the food from pet shops and they got rid of kitchen scraps and we used to boil up all the potato peelings too which they loved.Unfortunately one of the chicks was a rooster he was beautiful but we had to get rid of him for the nieghbours sake.They make lovely pets and good at cleaning up your kitchen scraps.
They had there own little house homemade and had the run of the garden just make sure they cannot get out.
