What chickens to get?

[donrae]

I hear mixed reviews on Polish. Some say they're great pets, some say they're schizo

Bantam Cochins are good with kiddos as a rule, they're docile and calm, make good pets. They get along well with Silkies as a rule. I've not had and bantam Brahmas myself, but they have the same calm reputation.

Sultans would be another good choice.

If you want larger birds, maybe Faverolles. My experience with them is they don't do well in a mixed flock with large birds, but they'd probably be right in line with Silkies, temperament wise. Big fluffy bearded hens, lay decently well, calm and docile.

What does that mean?

It means Birds of the same feather type, colour......Usually get along better than mixing......



Cheers!

Unless true and pure Ameruacanas.....EEs are crosses so that is another ball game...Ameruacanas can be flighty......
EEs depending on the cross are either okay or dominant.....


I still say Silkies........Other fancy colours......


Cheers!
