The Pekin chicken is very gentle in nature, and will soon become part of the family, they make excellent pets for the children, they are smaller in size and easy to handle.
But don’t let their size fool you as they are full of character and cheeky little things. It’s such a pleasure to watch them chickening about in the garden.
Very friendly, love company, live for a long time and are normally a robust and hardy little bird.
They can be a little territorial if in big groups so be wary introducing smaller bantam chickens into an established Pekin flock.
Pekin Bantams are such busy little chickens, they love being outside in the garden and will not ruin your lawn. It’s very easy to tame Pekin chickens as they enjoy human company.
The Pekin is a true bantam breed chicken, which originated from Peking (now known as Beijing) in China.
