Which bantam breed is best to get started with?

Old English Game Bantams

Oh ok, thank you

Now, I don't own any bantams, but I do take care of some, I take care of D'uccles, Silkie Bantams and a Dutch Bantam?

1)Which one would you recommend? D'uccles or Dutch Bantams

2)Which one is easier to get then others? D'uccles are easier to find the Dutch, Strombergs has both and McMurrays has D'uccles.

3)Which is the most friendly (both genders)? They are all hens so I couldn't answer.

4)Which roo is less likely to crow as much, I get that they’re a roo and they’re gonna crow but which of these breeds ain’t gonna be as noisy as the other?
I think the roos from either breed are handsome, since they're small, they might not be as loud but I think how often they crow is individual to the rooster.

5)Which breed will be easier to care for? I personally prefer the Clean footed Dutch.

6)Which breed doesn’t need a lot of run space compared to the others? I couldn't say, I think they all need space to scratch around in. Though the dutch can and will fly and climb on things

7)Is any breed easier to get NPIP approved then the other, or is it all the same? No idea.

8)Which would do good in a neighborhood/residential area? Both

9)Which is your favorite ? Dutch Bantams are little spitfires, I love them,

10)Do you own any of these breeds? I'm their godmother, does that count?

And those who could help and answer thank you very much, I appreciate it.
