It can be tempting when looking at all the lovely chickens and bantam hens for sale to want one of each and make a flock of mixed breeds but be careful not all breeds are compatible. Breed harmony can be relative to space, if you have acres then most birds will be fine together however if you have a back garden set up with limited roaming room the guide below is very important.
