Hello all! This is my first post and I admit that I have been a lurker for the past 5 months or so. We raise our chickens for brown eggs and meat and although we think the fancy breeds are beautiful, hubby and I decided they weren't really for us.
Yesterday, I went to pick up a hutch (we are getting rabbits next, lol) at my husbands cousin's house and couldn't help but notice how hilarious the bantams are. Their crows are even higher pitched! They were walking around (she has 3 roosters and 1 hen) like they ran the place. And let me say that they were walking among much bigger normal sized hens and roosters.
Long story short, I want some bantams. I miss the crowing around here anyway (we had 2 awesome barred rock roosters but something got both of them in the same day a few weeks ago) and I think they would be a joy to have around.
Anyone going to try and convince me NOT to get any? LOL
