Pros: they are less expensive than other openers. they work pretty well and have held up for several years.
Cons: you have to build your own door so must be handy. sometimes the string comes undone but is fixable. it can be challenging to set up how high and how low.....sometime the string wraps around the spool incorrectly....
we have two of these and I'd buy them again. we have them on timers which we adjust depending on the time of year. they are less expensive than other openers. they work pretty well and have held up for several years. you have to build your own door so must be handy. sometimes the string comes undone but is fixable. it can be challenging to set up how high and how low.....sometime the string wraps around the spool incorrectly....

Pros: We love their small size, mostly gentle temperament. We think they are a beautiful bird. Egg size is smaller than LF, but is fine!
Cons: they can be broody. perfect "Lunch" size for hawks. :-(
We have had wyandotte bantams since 2014 when we purchased a trio of chocolate wyandotte bantams that were developed by Jerry Foley. We still have these and are working towards getting that color recognized with the ABA and the APA. We like that these birds are pretty gentle. We love their rose combs. they lay a good amount of eggs but to be fair, we have not really kept older birds. in 2015 we got black birds so we could show and in 2017 we bought some blues. In 2018 we added a partridge trio. We just received our first starred win at Congress in January 2019! We are working on these colors and will be playing with chocolate partridge this year. They are mostly a gentle bird. We love their rounded appearance. They are a fairly duel purpose breed. Small eggs are fine - you just eat a few more than larger eggs. They eat less food than large fowl, their rose combs are better in freezing weather - less apt to get frostbite than single comb. Love clean legged birds. https://www.facebook.com/weymouthwyandottes/?ref=br_rs
