Pros and cons of bantam chickens( not silkies):

Cons
•smaller size egg
•if you want to butcher these they obviously do not have nearly as much meat think dove size.
•Roosters are fairly aggressive at least the
Silver and golden sebright breeds for us have been.
•roosters crow a lot! ( again the sebright breeds we have)
•they maybe don’t lay an egg as often as some larger breeds of chickens but fairly close in comparison

Pros:
•They eat much less than our “normal” size chickens
•They do not venture far they tend to stay much closer to their pens
• the hens are so small and quiet I hardly notice them at all. They have a very small footprint so to speak
•if we are talking food to egg ratio, they in my opinion have a very large egg for their size vs the very small amount of food they consume
•require much less space
•very hardy I have not had any sick and they have handled the cold and heat well thus far
•roosters though aggressive they are so small I don’t worry about them with my kids. Verses I would not keep a rooster of normal size with that amount of aggression. These really can cause very little harm minus just the surprise and maybe a minor scratch.

We will be switching over to mostly bantams. They work great for us. We will also do more silkies they really are a very cute and great breed as well. I will then get more ducks for my need for larger eggs with baking. It is easy enough to throw in an extra bantam egg for frying when needed.

Pictured below is our bantam group with a top hat breed and silkies. I will post about these breeds as well. Eggs normal or average size chicken egg verse bantam.

Anything you would add to the list ??

Grinding flour for some homemade bread. I have made it a goal this year to make as much as we can here at home. A lot of this we were doing anyways but not on a regular basis. But I also want to grind all our flour so it is fresh. I use a soft white wheat from azure for most of my flour.

After hiding in their houses this last week they have finally emerged for some warm sunlight. The ducks especially stayed inside. They would make me laugh cause I would open the door every morning for them to excitedly walk down the ramp to then say “nope” and walk right back in 😂

Happy November!

The kids have helped me design and get our menu for the bakery! This months special is pumpkin donuts.

Here is how it works:

You can order any combination of donuts equal to half dozen or dozen. Bagels and cinnamon rolls must be at least half dozen. comment or message me your order.
We will do pickup
New Haven, save a lot parking lot at 9:00 on Saturday mornings.

If it is a large order for business etc. we will deliver.

*This is a home bakery, that is ran by the kids ( with adult supervision and help). Under cottage food laws, this is made in a kitchen and not subject to inspections. *

*cash only, this is a much easier concept for the kids to understand and be able to do the math. We will not do Venmo etc.
