We have added 3 more chickens to our brood. They are Silkie cross Frizzle bantams and they are gorgeous. I'm totally in love.
Bantams are very cute, look a little bit odd with lots of fluffy bits, and, are very good natured chickens. Our ones were hand reared from birth so they are extra friendly.
Bantams aren't huge layers but will still pop out about 100 eggs a year once they get going. Often their eggs are a blue/green colour too - just to add to their cuteness.
After a little bit of scrapping between the bigger hens - Florence, Ivy, Vader, Cath and Belle all seem to be the best of friends.
Above they are enjoying their favourite afternoon snack of watermelon.
However, none of them have started laying yet!!!
