thewhitehouse Posted February 15, 2009 Share Posted February 15, 2009 My Plymouth Rock bantams are fab - lay every day, good size eggs, sweet looking (buff birds), nice and tame too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Louisdog Posted February 15, 2009 Share Posted February 15, 2009 My nankins lay well. Sussex are supposed to be good layers too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bantambabe Posted February 15, 2009 Share Posted February 15, 2009 Our light sussex bantams are excellent layers - 2/3 eggs a day from 3 girls. They can go broody if you don't take the eggs for a couple of days, but providing you take the eggs you should be fine. They are very friendly too.
