Here's Barney 
She had a bad year last year with feathers dropping out, bald patches everywhere, eggs not right, but this year after her first moult she is a lot better, her eggs are still not a good colour, more spotty, but she is so lovely.....

That can't be true of the bantams!  We had 2 & they were the most friendly, laid-back birds we've ever had! 
Sadly missed & would have this breed again for sure. Just got to find a good dark egg laying strain of bantam.  |

| SL I have only had Barney, so can only defend her really but temperamental is not what I would say she is....she's fab. Wernlas outside Onibury recommend them for beginners .... |

Ahh, you mean cockerels! 
Well, not had any of those to comment about, only hens but cockerels of any breed can be aggressive, expecially in the breeding season. |

| Good point I think trouble was they were a bit bigger than most of the others & liked throwing their weight around |

| Hoping to hatch some of these in the next few weeks. Keeping my fingers crossed cause I love the feathers and the general shape of them. |
