chick mansion
Pros: Friendly
Very pretty
Nice to other chickens in the flock
Cons: I can't think of any
This is an excellent chicken breed for all purposes! I can't say much about egg laying because mine hasn't started yet. But, I can say that this is one of my most friendly chickens in my flock. The hens are easy to catch and aren't flighty at all. (at least mine is). This is a great breed if you are looking for a chicken that is going to be willing to sit in your lap for a long time. :)

Pros: Sweetheart, Gorgeous and Small Sized
Cons: Large feet feathers can cause issues
Booted Bantams live up to their name, their "boots" are HUGE! We had to cut our littles ones back so she could walk somewhat normally and forage with the rest in the day. We loved her to bits and she was the most enjoyable bird I've owned and I would never regret getting more. If you don't exactly want this one, try a D'Uccle, which is pretty much a sister breed to the Booted Bantams with all of the same perks but less foot feathers! :)

king tail
Pros: Sweet,pretty,good egg layers,and very soft
Cons: NONE
I had a hen to hatch a brood of chicks, and I got twin Booted hens, lily and lillieana. And they were so sweet, i would SO get 1or 2 or 3 or more again. If I were u, I would get some. but both lily and lillieana both died.

I had a pair of buff laced blue porcelains which apparently are rare? havent been able to find many. I got them in a run of bantams from tsc 2yrs ago. Unfortunately a neighbors dog got loose and tore open their run... I was excited about breeding them but didnt get a chance. They are very sweet and friendly if handled often and early.

Pros: Gentle, Lays well in summer, Good broodies
Cons: Can be flighty if not handled enough, Not the best layer, Feet feathers need to be cleaned.
I used to have two of these breeds and they had such a gentle nature eventually. I bought them in early summer and they laid very well in the summer but it does take an especially long time to get them back into lay after being broody.
Phoenix Farms
Pros: Cute, talkative, pretty to look at, non-aggressive
Cons: Flightly, get picked on easily
My Porcelin Booted Bantams are adorable! My rooster is very docile and never fought with the LF roosters. But we had to move the pair because he got picked on too much. They will make good lap birds if you handle them young.

Pros: Small, Frendly and very easy to care for.
Cons: fethers on feet can be hard to keep in show condition but if not showing does not matter.
These are the greatest chickens i have had. They are very harty little chickens. I have had them go broody in less than 8 months old.
Can not say enough about them.
Whittni
Pros: Friendly, Don't beat up hens, not extremely loud, broody, bantam, unique individuals, can have rose or single combs.
Cons: Not for meat (ornamental), feathered feet (need special care to keep them clean (roofed run)) and like to be the main rooster (has to be top dog)
These lovely bantams are great for homestead life. I personally own eight of them, four hens, four roosters. If you're looking for a fair layer, a good mothering breed and like personality these chickens are for you.

These are some pictures and descriptions of my chooks (chickens):

The young Apollo:

He's a persistent one, alright! He'll go up to my buff orpington Honey and say, "I'm your rooster ... I'm gonna do what rooster's do to you!" and she'll peck him and basically says feircly, "Try it and I'll peck your waddles so hard you'll fly back to your roost from last Tuesday!"


The Young Tiny, Honey (orpington) and Houdini:

Well, Tiny is a head-flyer-atter! He thinks, "Oh my goblen! PEOPLE! FOOD!" That's deep I'm going into w/that one.

They are also known as Sablepots.
