Bantam Chickens have been the sweetest breed I've had by far!

Good evening BYC!

I love my whole Flock dearly, but my 2 month old bantams I've been raising have literally been like having little puppies!
They let me carry them around like chihuahuas and enjoy alot of cuddling.

I've been able to integrate them into my Flock along with my Sussex and all has been going well.

Does anyone else have experience with Bantams like this?

The first chicken is actually a lavender d’Uccle, not a Cochin. They are both very beautiful!

Ah thank you so much. I was told she was a cochin, but now googling it I see you're right!

This is why I love this community. Always learning new things.

Your d’Uccle is adorable

The Seramas and barbu de watermael that I had were very easy sweet birds to care for. Definitely pet quality.
This little boy slept in my house and stayed outdoors during the day. My little buddy.

Yes I’ve had such friendly bantams since 2003. That was an interesting summer. I had my first bantams. 2 dozen assorted bantams from Ideal (one dozen assorted and a dozen assorted cochins). They were eggs and probably the only 100 percent hatch I’ve ever had. I went to Europe for two weeks during that time and my grandma liked to take care of them during those two weeks. I couldn’t wait to get back to them. I still have their pictures. They gave me a lot of joy. Sadly I had them for just the summer in California and had to go back to school in Arizona. When they were about 2 months old a raccoon killed all but a pair of Cochins. Then being in the city animal control took them. They said to my mom that she can take back the pullet but we decided they should stay together.

As for my trip to Europe I had more bad memories than good and it was more expensive than having those chicks.

Some of the two dozen Ideal chicks that I kept with coturnix quail before learning that quail and chickens should be kept 30 feet apart to prevent diseases transmitting.
