Bantams are lovely, especially if they have got fluffy feet! I keep
chickens myself but have kept bantams in the past. Apart from the
obvious egg size I would say there are no disadvantages with bantams -
its personal preference

I'm still brooding over whether we should get some (two) chickens or not.
Now that I have seen some rat-proof feeders, the idea appeals very much

Except now I'm wondering about bantams.

We love bantam eggs.

Are there any practical disadvanteges to choosing bantams instead of
chickens..

(My wife Catherine would like a white one... and she intends to call it
'poulet').

Are we sad or wot!
