We've got a pair of brown-red modern bantams, and a pair of birchen bantams, and they are really sweet.
Our brown-red hen will talk your ear off. She loves to be held and is very nosy. The brown-red rooster was not so friendly when we got him, but after a week of us holding and talking to him, he now will jump on our hands. He loves to be held and talked to, and will fall asleep in our hands.
My 11yr old son shows the modern games for 4-H showmanship because they are easy to handle.
Have fun with them.
