I like this thread because it's all about the utility of bantams, which I think they are better at than most people give them credit for. I am interested in peoples experiences with banties as layers specifically. I started a thread about that, so if you have experience with different breeds check it out. I think it would be a helpful reference. I am especially interested in RIR, EE, rock, brahma and orpington bantams laying ability.
