Every breed of chicken is "good" for something-- it's just a matter of matching the chicken with your purpose.

Those breeds are good for pets. The hens will lay some number of small eggs, and at least some of the hens will probably go broody and try to hatch eggs.

But if you wanted really good egg layers, or big eggs, or chickens that never go broody, or chickens that grow fast and get butchered for meat, those breeds (and any other bantam breeds) would be poor choices.

What type of personality and egg laying amounts are you looking for? What is your climate?

Then they are probably good choices.

Those breeds are usually known for having nice temperaments (although it is possible to have a mean chicken with any breed, it is not very likely with those ones.)

No experience with brahma bantams. Cochins are a hit or miss. Males are either agressive or friendly and females are either skittish or friendly in my experience.
Mille fleur D'uccle females are usually pretty nice, but I've never had a nice male

I have a bantam light Brahma and will be incubating buff Brahma bantam eggs starting tomorrow. They aren’t especially common, but the one I have is just a lovely sweet thing. She lives with my two silkies, a partially blind EE, and a mille fleur and they are all docile and easy to handle and love on! I’m personally a bigger fan of the MF d’Uccle and the Brahma over my bantam Cochins so far. I have 4 Cochin bantams and while they’re all very sweet they are flighty and uninterested in being loved on.
