To be honest if anything the ex-batts are easier to handle, they will happily be stroked & picked up, the bantams are a little harder to catch. When the ex-batts arrived they were in a terrible state and 1 out of the 3 died within a couple of days, so perhaps not ideal introduction for kids
In theory I suppose yes, I just fill the feeder up every few days so I don't monitor their intake. Recently the Labrador has started helping herself to the chicken food as well which is a pain in the arse
