Laced Padovana and very beautiful birds, they have gorgeous laced feathers, great big pom poms and elegant long legs. They’re extremely friendly and inquisitive and make excellent pets for children. They look very similar to the Bantam Laced Polish but are about 3-4 times the size, making them quite hardy in comparison. Their docile nature makes them good for mixed flocks as they will not pick on smaller Bantams but are big enough to be mixed with larger pure breeds. They are quite cheeky and funky birds and will love your company, follow you about and want to be around you. Less timid than a Silkie or d’Uccle they make for fantastic garden buddies.
Padovana Hens are great birds to have in a back garden or smaller area, they are quite dippy and happy go lucky with no apparent understanding of danger, so not suited to large open spaces as they will get lost and make easy pickings for predators. They can fly so will need a high fence if in a run, however, they’re not a flighty breed, but will fly straight up when spooked, they like to roost and perch up high so will enjoy a chicken swing and lots of enrichment in their enclosure. They are great to have in the garden and will chicken about with you. Their friendly nature makes them naturally docile and they like human company. They can mix with most breeds including delicate bantams but always be wary mixing any pure breeds and bantams with larger hybrids. They are not overly broody and will lay 150-180 white medium sized white eggs a year.
