If you get bantums they'll nest around the perimeter of your house and barn. give them a small shelter to escape to in case of raptors. Otherwise they are quite tough little birds. The females are passive but "cold" ~ emotionally they're not much different than a snake. I've had friendlier wild terrapins in my lawn!
My rooster was a real fighting cock. He loved his spurs and would ride around on my shoulder, then fly! Guy really loved the part of a flying chicken! Nobody messed with him.
bantums-
No, I am planning to get Barred Plymouth Rocks. Disposition, versatility, and larger eggs.
