Pros: Nice, freandly, nice size eggs for a bantam
Cons: Hens go broody just like all bantams
I have a breeding pair of bantam RIR's. My rooster is in charge of 20 hens, both LF and bantams. He is the nicest rooster i have had. My kids can pick him up and carry him around like he is one of the other pets. He loves to eat out of my hand. As a plus i breed him to my Lf Dominique and get sex linked chicks to sale. My hen is a great layer of small eggs when she is not broody. Her eggs are actually larger then Bantam size eggs and some are close to medium size eggs they sale at the stores. My hen also lets you pick her up. She is at the top of the pecking order of the bantams and also a couple steps up from the bottom of the LF girls.

Pros: Nice, docile, fluffly
Cons: Always broody, Easy target for hawks and falcons
I have 4 silkies. I love these little chickens. If you want eggs these are not for you. If you cant aford an incubator then get some silkies. 3 out of 4 went broody 1-3 weeks after starting to lay. On they good side they will hatch anything and be a protective moma. Lost a rooster to a falcon, but he gave his life for his hens. I wil always have some in my flock if only to hatch eggs.
