I had a 2 adult bantam roosters. Their ‘kukeleku’ was too early, too noisy and too skrieky. They woke me and dome of the neighbours up too early In spring. So they had to leave in april as soon as I had a broody. This was a real pity bc they where both really beautiful.
I have small bantams because they make less poop, need less space and eat less. The eggs are small, but I don't sell them and I just need 2 eggs instead of 1 in recipes to cook. Not bad an egg thats over 30 g for a chicken that weighs only 600-700 g.
If I had bigger chickens I could have no more than 3 or 4 max. Now I have 8. L to see the interaction.
I don’t understand why people don’t eat (the good parts of) bantams. I remember eating wild pigeon as a child. The meat was very tasty. A bantam is even bigger.
And people eat quails. Don't they? Quails are even smaller.
