All About Bantams

Serama Bantam named Hayboy at CHOE
Bantam Breeds are miniature versions of standard breeds. They are usually one fifth of the size of their standard sized counterparts. They are known as one of the oldest breeds. In a journal kept by Marco Polo he described these delightful birds. Even though many breeds of Bantams have been around for centuries; some bantams are specifically bred down by breeders to maintain the characteristics and looks of their larger counterparts. They are excellent scavenger's and tend to be healthier and heartier than the larger breeds, although the hen eggs are much smaller in size. If you are looking for a "pet chicken" Bantam is an excellent choice. Bantams have smart, sweet personalities and bond quickly with their owners which make's them great pets to have.
