Looking to get a pair of bantam hens to keep as pets. Narrowed down to either cochin, brahma, or silkie. Egg laying is not as important to us as quietness & tempermant.
- Which breed is the quietest hen?
- Which is the easiest to handle?
- Which is the best around kids?
Thanks!
Curious if anyone has mini-coop designs/ideas appropriate for a small group of 3 bantams? New to keeping chickens, planning to start with 2-3 bantams in my Seattle urban backyard.
Have been looking at modifying something like the Ware Backyard Hutch...
