Bantam chickens.. a friendly discussion about all pure and mixed breeds.

[igorsMistress]

The breeds I've tried are very sweet without the big bird issues. I haven't had any fighting they all just get along perfectly. They are always happy.
My little Rooster/Cockerel isn't hard on the Hens at all. He loves them. I introduced 5 Pullets without first separated pens and everything went perfectly. Now they all mingle together. My Sebright is a bit more bossy although it's just her temperament.
I'd recommend Bantams...

Thanks for the info! I'm definitely considering some hatching eggs in Spring. The OEGB ans Mille Fleurs are just gorgeous!

Sorry I forgot to say they also handle confinement better than most standard Birds too. Sure they like to free range although I only let them out for an hour or so each day or every other day. Plus you can have different breeds together and they all get along happily..

Bahahaha....
My Husband doesn't like my little Bantams really. I bought Speckled Sussex this spring from the hatchery and sold them all again because I don't like big chickens anymore. ..We get enough eggs to keep ourselves and my son in eggs though..
Definitely order them......I would...

This was my Hen crazy Alice. A Silkie something cross with her Brahma/Orpington Chicks from my last flock.

Yes. She was a cutie. A person I know was supposed to buy my last flock but then picked them up and like an idiot I let her take my Flock and she never ever paid me. I have no idea if my Birds are okay. That was a year ago..
Oh well ...
I have my Bantams now and still wondering about Crazy Alice. She was my only Bantam I ever had and was like a road runner..Always running..
