Hi,
For my birthday, I am thinking of having a few bantams. I have had Welsummer and Vorwerk bantams before so I want something different
I am thinking of 3-4 non- game type banty's and then a game banty for broodyness.
Any recommendations welcome- however one stipulation no feathered legs!
Thanks
Peter

Our suggestion would be Seabrights, Transylvanian Naked Necks, Wyandotte or Polish.

Sussex or orpington bantams are very sweet ::)
-
Wyandottes, good amount of eggs come in lots of very attractive colours and good broodies.
-
Lavender Pekins. Beautiful little birds and good layers too!
-
Absolutely,Pekins or Orps,all mine are broody for the third time around this year :o They just love being Mummy ;D
-
however one stipulation no feathered legs
pretty sure Pekins have feathered legs and feet!
-
How did I not see that!(mallow head) ok,Orps ,they are terrific mothers! ;D

I love Polands and Silkies (so cute and cuddly and lay fab tiny little eggs) , but if you want something sleek and beautiful, then seebrights are great - beware that they are really good fliers though.
