I had 2 pair of very sweet Old English Game Bantams! The roosters were even more tame and personable than the hens! The hens are happy to be on the nest (and are often sharing it with a larger hen) to the point that I would take them off the nest to check for eggs and not reach under them! They do not like that! They are very protective of their eggs! I have never let them set so I can not speak from experience for them as mothers, but I feel confident they would be very good, protective mothers as well. They are very charming, curious chickens and I would love to always have some in my flock!!
I believe I bought them in the middle of the summer of 2010 and I bought them at 1-3 days old so I only paid $1.00/ea.
