Standard Vs Bantam

[Woods_Woman]

I am wondering if Bantams lay as well as Standards. For example Standard leghorns are known for good egg production, so does that mean that bantam Leghorns produce as well too?

I don't know about that breed in particular, but my bantam hens lay more consistently than my standard hens, even through the colder months. They're a lot friendlier too

I love my bantam's too. I have these along with a Polish hen, but someone told me bantam's dont produce as many eggs. I do have to say my polish out lays my bantam cochin, & oegb put together.

Anyone else have any thoughts on this?

my bantam hens lay more consistantly and are friendlier and you can have alot more of them in a small amount of space

I have some Banty girls.....my Leghorn lays every day...small but reliable.
I have 2 Cochins .....I get an egg a day from each of them too....so far.
