Tell me about Bantam egg laying, please

[Penny Hen]

I like the specked ones. Medium brown with dark brown speckles. Would like to get some bantam Ameraucanas too and make some bantam Olive Eggers.

I just weighed my bantam cornish's egg: 1.57, technically a size small. Not bad for how tiny she is!

My Pekin bantam just laid her first 2 eggs in 3 days & they are 2/3 the size of a normal egg & oh, so tasty!

The EE's are still waiting to catch up

I'll bet the Pekin goes broody soon, hopefully

I've got the bug for more chickens,,,,

As far as egg laying, I had some Mille Fleur D'Uccles that laid probably 4 a week. They seemed to lay more than the OEGB that I had at the time.

I also like the speckled eggs. Have only ever had one Welsummer and her eggs weren't as spotted like the ones you are referring to. I want some of those medium brown with bigger brown speckles too! I used to have coturnix quail and their little eggs were that same pattern.

I just bought a bantam sized Wheaten Ameraucana roo and would like to find him a bantam Wellie for olive eggs.
Would also like to find some more Ameraucana pullets too.

If you buy eggs on Ebay, birdbrain has bantam Wellsummers. She is not on BYC but she is reliable and packs her eggs well.

Try Road Island Reds or Plymouth rocks(road island reds Lay a little better).
