bantums vs. standards?

[Chickenkate17]

Hi,

I'm re-starting my flock....lost all my girls due to coyotes

What advantages are there to going with bantums instead of standard size chickens? Or vice versa!

Thanks!

I have 5 standard and 1 bantam hen and looking at getting 2 more bantams in a few weeks, I will always have a mix I think, the standards for the egg size and the bantams for the pleasure, the size of the bantams means I can have a few more the only down side would be the size of the eggs, though I just use 2 instead of 1
