Bantams
In some cases, bigger is not always better. Bantam chickens are a small variety of poultry, sometimes referred to as mini chickens. They lay smaller eggs and require less space and maintenance than larger varieties, which makes them a great choice for beginners or backyard hobbyists with smaller coops.
