Pekin vs Dutch bantams.

[Dutch bantam 1]

Hi all,
I am wondering if there is anyone out there who has owned both Pekin and Dutch bantams, and if they can give me a rough idea on the size or a ratio like for example5 Pekin:3Dutch bantam.
Many thanks, Alfie

U are wanting a size comparison? The bantam Cochin looks way bigger but I think all feathers! Cochin (Pekin) friendlier, calmer, and prob my very favorite breed.

Personally, I like my Cochin bantam, Mylie. She’s a very sweet girl and blends in almost anywhere. She’s never bullied any of my chickens and likes people for the most part.

Dutch bantams are a lot more bully-ish and skittish towards chickens and people, so not my first choice...

But both breeds have their perks I guess... all depends on what you’re looking for.

I've had Dutch bantams before and quite like them but I might consider pekins...
