Hi All,
So we went away on holidays for a week and a lovely friend of ours cared for our chickens. Unfortunately one of our older ladies didn’t handle the heat the other day and passed on. Bless her, she was one of our original Pekin (Cochin) bantams and would have been 7 this March. This also leaves us with 1 bantam bantam lady
Anyways, long story short, I would love to get some more bantams, but not too sure about getting the same breed again.
We have 5 pullets (standard size breeds) just about to come into lay, so looking for plucky little girls but no more than 3-5 of them. Egg laying is not top of the pick here, but more personality and fit in with the bigger girls. Eg, they need to be able to stand up for themselves. And yes, I know Pekins / Cochins do fit this, was hoping for any others that may work well?
Thank you for your help!
