Bantam COCHINS!!! We LOVE THEM!!! They are mauled constantly by my 5 year old! We are only ordering Cochins from now on--- we have 25 babies coming next week-- whoo hoo! (we have had Brahmas, as well, and though they were nicer than other breeds, the differences between them and the Cochins was HUGE--- the Cochins really *wanted* us to hold and love them, the Brahmas *tolerated* us)
I have a D'Uccle...very tiny, sweet bantam. I have heard Cochins are great too, but I don't have any experience. I have to say, that is the cutest little girl holding those cochins!!
I have a little Black Dutch banty hen and roo and they are the sweetest out of the whole flock ( of course they are the only bantys in the flock lol ) but my little banty hen Bonnie is also the first to want me to pick her up and give her love and the roo is real easy to handle he is very protective of him girls and has never given me any trouble.
