Bantams are great and a lot cheaper to feed than large, heavy breeds. They are a great size for children too as large breeds used to being handfed treats can peck at you hard. The d'Uccles bantams are beautiful, docile, sweet and pretty good in the egg laying department. Silkies will be broody a lot of the time meaning they won't be laying for you, but rather sitting on a nest waiting for something to hatch.
