The first thing that I find wrong with it, is that it's in your home, on your kitchen table no less. I find that disgusting, and with those habits, I would not want to be your dinner guest.

It'll be a nice little pet for you, but type wise, from those photos, it's got too much body length and not enough depth. It seems to have neck length more appropriate for a Dominique than a Rock.

I'm actually thinking of getting 4 Barred Plymouth Rock Bantam in the spring instad of 2 larger layers though I'm still debating, the fact they are good layers and they eat less,take less space and I have 4 bantams already makes this ideal .

To put it a different way, so as to help prevent everyone's buns from getting into a knot, I just don't think it's a wise practice to allow a chicken to walk across one's dinner table. Despite the availability of good disinfectants, it's just not on any list of best practices which I've ever seen, and it isn't endorsed or even condoned by any of the sources I tend to consult.

I no longer have goats, but my children do leave me with the need for the occasional use of good cleaners or disinfectants, like most others, I imagine. Then again, they don't usually walk through their feces and then across our dining room table either.

In thinking about it further, I must say that I don't see how anyone can really defend allowing barnyard livestock into one's home and to walk across a kitchen table. It's just plain unsanitary. I apparently have hit a nerve with a few, who may be lashing out at the person who provided the reality check for them, but I think that most of you really do know that it isn't right.

Bantam?

How old?

 

[silkiechick05]

Yes it is a bantam.

I don't know exactly the age, my guess about to start laying.

The good thing is that she's a chicken the bad thing is that she's not mine

She is such a friendly chicken. I just got her yesterday from a breeder in OK.
