A good layer bantam that is friendly and not typically broody. Gonna struggle on that last part lol. My recommendation would the Polish and/or Transylvanian Naked Neck. I had both. They do come in bantam. They’re not particularly broody and can be friendly chickens. Mine both laid a medium white egg 4-5 times a week each.

How was it with the polish in your group? Fether pecking? Could they see propperly?

Maybe than 1 or 2 to see what they are all about

My Polish was fine, I kept her with other bantams though. I think they struggle with large fowl birds. Mine saw okay as I trimmed her crest a little.

Silkies are one of my favorites.

WHich bantam you decide on is entirely whichever one catches your eye, I would think. I have several bantys of different breeds and they all are pretty docile. At least the hens are. I did have a Silver Seabright rooster. He didnt stay long.
Currently there are one OEG hen, a splash cochin, a blue cochin, one porcelein D'Uccle rooster, and a white suppose to be silkie but has feathers like a normal chicken rooster, and they are all very calm and get along. I can pick up my "silkie" and he doesnt fight or get nervous. I think that might be that he cant see too well with his little topnot, tho.
