The Pekin Bantam is a round, fluffy pocket-sized chicken that is one of the most popular bantam breeds in the world. Incredibly tame and people-friendly, they make wonderful pets especially for children and those with small gardens. Their heavily feathered feet require dry conditions, but their sweet nature more than compensates for the extra care.
This breed is classified as docile with a noise level of quiet and poor foraging ability. Broodiness tendency: often.
