Choosing new bantam

 bantam rhode island reds would be good or poss light sussex depends what colours etc you like x

I have only ever kept banntys 

I too have wyanadotts 

I also have Dutch miniatures - brilliant little layers for their size
a speckled sussex and a  white sussex

a little buff rock , she is so sweet but now at 3 years old egg production going down

my Rhode island reds are loud and bossy but good layers

and my favourite one was a new Hampshire red - she lived till 8 and layed right to the end

I tend to avoid breeds with foot feathers 

but my best one of all is bonny bonnet a whoops breed - x of allsorts , hard as nails and so very healthy

here she is bonnet and all 

Good idea, thanks!

The main advantage to bantam keeping is their size

you don't need such a large hen house or if you do have one you can squeeze twice as many in LOL

they lay just as good as large fowl and their eggs are surprisingly large considering - most large breeds come in bantam size and the dutch bantams are roughly the size of a large blackbird / thrush

Thanks, I'd like to get it right and choose a breed that will give me eggs all year, being small fowl I can keep extra to hopefully give us eggs every day ... any thoughts are most welcome. tia
