Tricky78 Posted February 4, 2020 Share Posted February 4, 2020 I have an eglu go up with 2m run, total novice and these will be my first hens. I was thinking of getting 3 dutch bantams, is this a good hen for a beginner? I have 2 children aged 7 and 10 so looking for something fairly placid. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chickabee Posted February 9, 2020 Share Posted February 9, 2020 Dutch bantams are lovely. Do you have a local supplier. It’s a bit early in the year to buy pullets or growers. I started with Omlets own Ginger Rangers and the black ones (whatever they’re called) they were great. Hybrids are a bit more hardy and for the first year at least should lay through the winter. Depends what you want. None are guaranteed to be friendly. I had a Silkie for 7 years, she was very amiable Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
