From what I've heard, bantams lay smaller eggs. Some people have told me that bantam eggs are drastically smaller, while others have told me that bantam eggs are just the small-sized eggs you can buy at the store. Neither my standard hen nor my bantam hens have started laying, so I haven't seen the difference for myself.

As for personalities, bantams tend to be much sweeter.

There is a huge difference in size between the smallest and largest bantam breeds, and also in egg size. As for temperament, that too depends on the specific breed and bird,
