If you just want to "have chickens in the barn" you'll do fine with bantams, but if you count on them to produce dependable supply od eggs you will be dissapointed.
I did this experiment 2 seasons ago, hoping for bantams to be less destructive of free range...
As of right now the list includes:
Lavender Ameraucana
BBS Ameraucana
Orpingtons
Welsummer
RIR
Old English-Red Pyle, Blue Wheaten
Silver Penciled Plymouth Rock
Wyandotte
The problem is that these are not that easy to find down here in Alabama.
I am thinking about moving away from LF and into Bantams. Please make some suggestions on what I need to research. I am not into showing, just like having chickens in the barn.
