I started researching as I know there are not many bantam breeders in our area and I would really like to add some different breeds to my flock. All the breeders I found locally either didn’t have bantams or had sold out.<\/p>\n

I looked them up and they are very pretty.\u00a0They lay cream eggs and are docile and friendly and make ideal pets.<\/p>\n
I called her back and asked her to save her goldtop for me. We have visitors for the weekend so I said it may have to be next Friday afternoon before we can go and see her. We would see what else she has and pick another bantam to accompany the goldtop.<\/p>\n
