don't get anything fluffy looking like ur cochins of course and silkies or any production birds, it's best to stick with light birds in ur case other bantams, games,birds with a leghorn looking body such as minorcas, polish

u know what imma just give u a list here goes:
PHOENIX just don't any heavy games, but if u only want bantams avoid fluffy breeds like silkies, cochins, brahmas ect....

I had some jungle fowl get loose years ago that bred a lot , and they were like pheasants in the wood that would roost in the top of oak trees.

Ok that helps alot. I will check out that list and see what I like. I like seramas, sebrights, and OEGB but I will defently check out that list.

THanks,

Japanese bantams are by far the best fliers I have personally ever seen.

Yes! Indeed. I have 3 myself and I know someone who ships eggs,If you want,I can PM you. I might be able to send some. They're beautiful,just like the large fowl,and little too! 48 ounces I believe! (I'll have to check) They can be expensive. (25 a piece for some) But they're worth it! They're awesome jungle fowl,and they can fly higher than OEGB,or atleast from what I've seen.

Seramas may not be the best choice,with size A cocks at 11 ounces,they are easily killed by rats. I had one who got killed by a small rat,which was suprising. Also racoons and other predators will also take them as an easy meal.
