what bantam should we get?!

[ChuckenGirl]

well my dad is getting 15 new chicks and he said i get to choose a bantam breed, except silkies, he said they look like snowballs with legs so i want a bantam that is friendly and broody any ideas? we are also getting red pyle bantams and silver duckwing oeg standards to add to our flock, if you told me last year that i would be raising chickens i would call you crazy but look now!!

Bantam cochins!

I second that. We have a bantam Cochin mix and she is constantly going broody, which is pretty annoying if you don't want any chicks

My bantam Orpingtons go broody.........but, maybe not as often as cochins.

My ameraucana bantam hens are the sweetest birds I own. I have read they can be broody, but mine are a year old and haven't yet. They follow me around like my shadow

good luck with your choice.

I love the look of the Japanese bantams, but I don't know how friendly they are...

Cochins are so cute, though! You wouldn't go wrong with those.
