I was interested in getting a few bantam chickens for my aviary. I would like to buy hatching eggs so they can imprint on me. Is there a breed of chicken/quail that can produce a decent amount of eggs where i can have an even ratio of males to females? Any extremely docile breeds? I don't want to cull any birds, I don't even eat meat, or give away the male birds to questionable homes. I mainly just want peace and harmony and some fresh eggs would be great, even if its not huge quantities...I know it's a long shot...but thanks in advance for feedback!
Also my aviary is only 4' wide by 6' deep which is why I want small bantams or quail. I plan on maybe 4 max if I end up getting seramas, and probablly 2 for a large bantam. It'll vary alot off the size and activity level... Also the reason I want them so tame is because I want them to alot of free run in the house when I'm home. Chasing down and catching frightened birds is not something I wish to do on a daily basis.
