Dutch Bantams or OEGB?

[king2]

I have OEGB and they are wonderful. I also have three young nephews and the OEGB's are great with them. I don't have much experience with dutch, but I have had OEG's for about four or five years and I love them.

I wanted to resurrect this thread since I had the same question. There may be new members here with input?

OEGB's , In my personal experience can be very sweet if you raise them from chicks.

my little Athena is a sweetie to me.

I haven't raised dutch but I've heard the males are incredibly hard to tame down.

I have both and some of dutch are real tame and I also have flighty ones same with the OE. The OE roosters can be little bossy buggers. Had a crele rooster that took on any rooster 4 times his size and he always won.

I have true Dutch that I hatched from eggs and they are very sweet and easy to handle and catch. One hen in particular loves to fly up on my shoulder and ride around while I do coop chores. She loves to be carried around and chatters the whole time. I handled these chicks as much as I do any of my birds and my Dutch are the tamest, no doubt. They are very pretty, curious little birds with wonderful little antics. I have no experience with the OEG's, but I love my Dutch.

I have had the same experience as you i have had dutch and they were very sweet chickens but 1 or 2 were flighty.
I been raiseing oegb for 7 years now and the same holds true for them some are just sweet hearts while some will be real buggers.
I prefer the oegb and it's just a personal preference has nothing to do with temperment.
