Which bantam rooster would you keep?

[angus]

So, I’m bored waiting for my chicks…

I know all birds are individuals, but just for fun, which rooster (or two) would you keep from this list? Please share your preference/experience. Here is the mixed order I put in for my experimental first flock:

1 each standard fem:
- Barred Rock
- NH Red
- Black Australorp
- Easter Egger

3 each bantam strt run:
- Mille Fleur d’Uccle
- Buff Cochin
- Black Tailed White Japanese
- Quail d’Anvers
- Buff Brahma
- White Silkie
- Silver Sebright

If it were me, I'd keep the silkie (of course) and either a sebright or d' anvers.

Silkies are fuzzy little cuties, and sebrights and d' anvers are both spunky.

I would keep the cochin.. I love my bantam cochins..they are so sweet...

All but a few of my silkie hens are being sold....

Brahma. Se big and regal. Although I can't say they are really calm...I arms and stomach are currently scratched up from holding her. Silly Big Mama.

Silkie for sure.

NH Red and Black Australorp big chickens-they are beautiful and nice

and the Mille Fleur and Buff Brahma and Buff Cochin bantams-they are also beautiful and nice and dont eat that much and arent as loud so you might as well keep them

I'd keep the silkie and cochin

If your going to have bantams then you should have a bantam roo . Too big of a roo will hurt your banty girls . Just my opinion . I had a silkie roo and he was kinda agressive.....but it could have been just him . I have 2 banty roos in with my standards and banties.....those boys have no trouble getting the job done...even with the standards !
