NoooooooI would not talk you out of it.
I love the bantam breeds.
Cons
Little eggs
Always going broody
Usually sold straight run (but the roosters are so cute!)
Pros
Cute little eggs with lots of yolk
Always broody/great mother hens
Friendlier as a general rule
The roosters!
The rooster get along well with each other, for the most part
The hen to rooster ratio is smaller
Less food consumption
Are the roosters any quieter than standard-sized roos? I'm not going to lie, between other peoples' stories about their roos and finally getting a wonderful little quail roo, I'm really kind of interested in keeping a few. The downside is the crowing - chicken roos are so much louder than any quail roo.
