G'day all,
Elle here
I have recently picked out a lovely little shady, well weather protected spot for a small coop (Refer to the "Chichen Paradise" coop page.)
It is only big enough for 2 full sized birds, going by the 4 square feet per bird, and so decided on raising some bantam chicks while the coop was being built (4 bantams, going on the 2 square foot per bantam rule)
What type of bantams are best? I want to maybe do a bit of showing in the anual local 'fair', or show, as its refered to in Aus, but mainly pets. I already have 9 thriving full sized fowls, and so I have experience in chickens.
So, what breed of bantam would be best, in your opinion?
Cheers,
Elle
