Lovely! Re: Bantams. Is there much difference in personality between them and hens? I'm not too fussed about tons of poop as we have an allotment so that's all going to get used. But I was thinking maybe a smaller bird might be better for the kids, easier to handle etc?

To be honest if anything the ex-batts are easier to handle, they will happily be stroked & picked up, the bantams are a little harder to catch. When the ex-batts arrived they were in a terrible state and 1 out of the 3 died within a couple of days, so perhaps not ideal introduction for kids

Cheers! Another question: Do bantams eat significantly less food than regular chooks?
