These are the greatest chickens i have had. They are very harty little chickens. I have had them go broody in less than 8 months old.
Can not say enough about them.
These lovely bantams are great for homestead life. I personally own eight of them, four hens, four roosters. If you're looking for a fair layer, a good mothering breed and like personality these chickens are for you.
These are some pictures and descriptions of my chooks (chickens):
The young Apollo:
He's a persistent one, alright! He'll go up to my buff orpington Honey and say, "I'm your rooster ... I'm gonna do what rooster's do to you!" and she'll peck him and basically says feircly, "Try it and I'll peck your waddles so hard you'll fly back to your roost from last Tuesday!"
The Young Tiny, Honey (orpington) and Houdini:
Well, Tiny is a head-flyer-atter! He thinks, "Oh my goblen! PEOPLE! FOOD!" That's deep I'm going into w/that one.
They are also known as Sablepots.
Breed Details: These are classed as rare, but are gaining popularity again, because they are easier to breed then most. They have feathered feet. The tail is upright and they are a true bantam, as they don't come in a Large Fowl size. They can become very tame and easily handled. Unlike most breeds of poultry the cock may help a hen brood the eggs, a hen will go broody more than once a year on average. Dry winter quarters are recommended to suit the feathers on their feet and legs. The chicks are tiny, so make sure food it low enough for them to reach!
