Member Reviews: Dutch

fun to watch interact with others

  I can't wait to get one next year!!!

  My Dutch hen is a small Bantam that is friendly and fun.  She enjoys following me around my garden and nibbling on my cherry tomatoes.  

great birds i recomend to all ages shapes and sizes :D

Very friendly, can be bossy sometimes

My Dutch Bantams are very sweet and are very tame (especially if you hold them a lot). I love them. There so tiny and cute and friendly. I have 2 but will probably get more in the future. Mine are 14 weeks old. Here they are.

I have light-brown variety. These birds are curious, very quick learners, and friendly. Great for kids, as pets or house chickens. They are small, even for bantams. Small enough so their scratching does not ruin the garden. Mine have been good layers and awesome brooders. The hens' coloration makes them harder for hawks to spot than many other breeds, and they demonstrate good defensive instincts when birds of prey are around. I adore these birds, really not interested in any others now!  I have not seen them offered by hatcheries, have to get them from a breeder in the region.

Most wonderful rooster. Simply gorgeous. When crossed with Ameraucana hens (who he seemed to prefer) made GORGEOUS babies!

I have two dutch, and they are show birds. I recomend them for showing. They don't lay many eggs, but they do keep you company by talking! They have many beautiful feathers, and pretty slate blue legs!
