I feel I have to speak out in favour of bantams! It does depend on the breed, but my bantams have been the most characterful and beautiful chickens I have had. Some breeds are more flighty than others of course. The eggs are a bit smaller but much better for baking, because there is a bigger yolk compared to the white, and you'll marvel at how golden yellow your pancakes are!
