Pros: Sweet, Talkative, Cute, Dont mind kids, get out and eat alot of bugs, are very pretty
Cons: Fly out alot! Hard to keep in.
I have six Japanese Bantams. Five hens and one rooster. Grace, Zoey, Lemon, DeLacey, and DeLaney are the hens, and George Tucker is my rooster. They make up about 1/5 of my chickens. I have all bantams and really havent ever had a bantam like these guys. They are sweet and talkative, very flighty and fly out and often stay out all day. George is very protective of all his hens and chased and attacked a stray cat the other day that just glanced at the chicken house. They are calm and beautiful birds and definetley all add color and personality to my flock.
I have had a total of two silkies, and I love them! I had a roosters named Chewbacca and had to sell him due to fighting with my other rooster ( I pushed my luck by keeping two) But anyway I sold him, now I have a gold silkie hen named Elko! I love her she is so sweet and fluffy! I put bows in her hair! She puts up with it! Silkie lover forever!
