Do Bantam eggs taste different?
Regardless, bantam chicken eggs taste the same as the eggs of larger chickens, and certainly if your birds have access to pasture, bantam or large fowl, the eggs will taste MUCH better than what you can get in a grocery store. However, some bantams lay more eggs, and larger eggs, than others.
How often do bantam chickens lay eggs?
You can see the chart below for which bantams are good egg layers. The best egg laying bantams lay at least 200 eggs a year, so it's best to keep these breeds, if you're keeping them just for the eggs.
How many Bantam eggs equal large egg?
two
In general, substitute two bantam eggs for one large egg in recipes to err on the side of caution. One large egg equals about 1/4 cup. Two bantam chicken eggs seem to fit that quantity pretty consistently.
Are bantam roosters loud?
Bantam roosters still crow. In fact, because of their size, the crow itself can sound quite shrill and piercing and it is likely to irritate some people more than the deep crow of a standard sized rooster.
Can bantam chickens live with regular chickens?
Yes, in most cases you can mix breeds of chicken in your flock. They generally get on very well. You can even include both bantam and large fowl breeds in your flock, if that is what you prefer. In fact, bantams don't always or even usually end up on the lower end of the pecking order just because they're smaller.
What is the difference between a chicken and a bantam?
A bantams lifespan is about 4 to 8 years, whereas a standard chicken is 8 to 15 years. Third is the size of their eggs. Bantam eggs are only about one-half to one-third the size of a regular hen egg. Many people love to bantam eggs because they contain more yolk and less white.

They generally have a sweet temperament and are friendly to humans and chickens alike. Roosters can be sweet, but some can also be a bit aggressive especially during the mating season. As always, some breeds of rooster are better than others, so research your chosen breed carefully.
