Pros: Sweet, gentle, fun and entertaining, plus you can’t beat tiny little green eggs!
I enjoy having a little Easter Egger bantam in my flock. They make a great addition to any flock! If socialized them when young they are the sweetest things as adults, otherwise they can be skittish, they just need to see you often and know they can trust you.
You can not beat that egg color especially for a bantam! Occasionally you could get one that lays cream eggs, but sometimes they’ll lay green or blue. They’re egg production is ok, maybe 3-4 times a week. I have a hen that should start laying any time now, I’m looking forward to seeing what egg color I’ll get.
I would definitely recommend this breed, they make a great addition to any flock!
P.S- Baby Easter egger bantams, are the fluffiest and softest chicks I’ve ever raised... even more so than silkies!

Pros: Sweet, beautiful, great disposition
Cons: Prone to predators. Roosters are a bit aggressive.
Well I didn’t have my mottled Cochin for long, but I enjoyed the time I did have it. They are so beautiful and they have wonderful personalities! You could sit there and watch them for hours, because that’s how entertaining they are! Hens are sweet and gentle... and love attention. Roosters also enjoy the attention, but if they aren’t socialized young they can become a little aggressive when they’re older. Overall experience, I loved having one and would love to get another one in the future.

Did you have yours shipped to you? I was just wondering because I want to get pekin bantams someday and was wondering if it was expensive to get them shipped.
Pros: Very sweet, curious, smart, pretty, lays eggs very well
Cons: Will be at the top of the pecking order even for its own siblings
The black astralop breed is one of my favorite breeds. I have had two they were both very sweet, curious, and had great personalities. When I went out to the coop they'd walk over to me and just watch everything I was doing. They are also very smart and overall funny to watch. They are very good layers. Mine layed through out the winter and right from the start layed big eggs. I couldn't recommend this breed more, but they prefer to be with the older hens, and are at the top of the pecking order with their siblings and younger birds. If you have kids, or want a sweet disposition and hardy breed I recommend these very highly to you. :)
Pros: Very pretty, sweet, fun.
Cons: Small, so can easily get taken out by a predator
I love my porcelain d'Uccle chick. I just got it two weeks ago along with some others. I have no complaints about them. They are an awesome breed! They are very pretty and cute. I'm not sure if it's a female or male, but either way it is staying. The roosters are gorgeous! I'm hoping for a female so I can watch it hatch and raise baby chicks for me. I'm definitely going to be getting some more, but for now here's a pic. of the one I currently have.

Pros: Very cute, funny, docile, and curious. Make excellent mothers if given the chance.
Cons: Can get out of line with older birds and likes to get out of line with the pecking order.
Hello. I have one salmon Favorelle, and I love her to death! She is my favorite chicken breed ever! I got her as a day old chick along with two others. She used to be the lowest one in the pecking order, from even my two year old hens, but now she's passed her siblings and is even starting to pick on the older ones even though she never hurts anyone.
She is so funny, she loves to come up to me (especially when I'm making loud sounds) and she loves to chase my dogs!!! She is also very cute and her breed makes good show birds and Mama hens. Mine has gone broody once, but she is only 6 months old so I'm going to wait until she's a bit older until I let her hatch eggs.
Here she is. Here name is Peaches

I highly recommend these for anyone that wants to have a fun, very curious, and very docile chicken! I will be getting another one along with 16 other chicks in late February/early March. I'm very excited!

Pros: Keeps chicks form jumping out only when they are little
Cons: Does not protect them from predators, can break easily, older chicks will escape from it
Personally i wouldn't recommend this unless you are keeping it inside your house to supervise the baby chicks. I have had chicks jump out when older, it doesn't protect them at all, i mean anything that wants to get a baby chick will easily get what they wanted. This does not stand up so easily either. I don't use this product anymore, i use a protected brooder box made out of wood, but i guess its all up to the buyer to decide if they like this product or not.
Pros: Great for children, friendly, great for show birds, a tiny bit hardy with (weather)
Cons: Egg production not that well, not hardy when it comes to health, and can get picked up by something because of their size
I had a great Lavender Buff Orpington named Lulu. She was the most sweetest and lovey dovey chicken that I ever had. I loved her for her personality and looks. I lost Lulu because she caught a cold, since she was low to the ground being a bantam. Also since these are bantams they have a greater chance of being killed by something because of their size. Over all i would recommend getting these if you are going to keep them well protected, and you wont them as pets or show birds. I personally love this breed, but its all up to the person. : )

Pros: Awesome services, try to fill your every requests as best they can, sex baby chicks better than any other hatcheries, are true to breed.
Cons: Very expensive
I love Backyard chickens hatchery! If you read the pros you'll see why, iv ordered chicks three times from them, and just ordered another batch that should be here in two more days! Backyard chickens is by far the best hatchery I think is out there, the only problem I don't like is their costs currently. Now I don't remember the costs ever being like this before, but this time I ordered I paid 50+ dollars for only 3 baby chicks including shipping!!! I love their hatchery, but I hate their prices! Their baby chicks come healthy tho which is good, and they guarantee a refund for any dead bays chicks so many days after they come in the mail, or something like that.

Pros: Very sweet, egg production good, hardy.
Cons: None
I love this breed! Have only had two of them and my last one disappeared, and have not found a single trace of it since, but she used to lay big eggs for us and give us one every day. They are very nice breeds to have! They are also hardy they do well in both cold and hot claimants.

Pros: You don't need to do a thing! And excellent hatch rates!
Cons: Small
I have used this incubator 4 times now, and every time I get every egg to hatch except for one that never forms! This incubator is great to have if you have a small flock, and plus once you set it you don't need to do anything else until lockdown! I'm very happy with this incubator. I might replace it with the bigger version soon because my flock is expanding. Here's some pictures of my hatches in it. :jumpy

Another thing that I really like about this incubator, is the clear round opening all around it so that you can see the hatch whenever you want without opening up the incubator.
