Japanese Reviews
Cons: NADA
I LOVE MY JAPANESE! I would die without them. I have a rooster that I can just plop up on my shoulder and go finish the rest of the chores, and he stays right there. I have not once owned a mean Japanese. I don't know if this is common with the breed, but mine are very quite compared to my other roos.
If you are looking for a good, small, and fun bird, get these!
To show how calm and friendly they are, This is me and Kenny.... He decided that my chest was more confortable than my shoulder... 
Cons: Not very productive Not very predator resistant
i personally think japanese are the best i raised them for many years and think they excel in all levels they are very good mothers and are ok producers of tiny off whitish eggs
Love these birds as ornamentals..very attractive and sprite personalities. Can be a little flighty but not too bad. I have always enjoyed raising them.
Cons: not very cold tolerant, difficult to hatch, has leathal gene, 1/4 will be short legged
I just love our Japanese Bantams. Very docile, communicative birds.
Come in a variety of colors. Excellent for any chicken lover or youth 4-H project.
Show quality are difficult to come by. At hatch about 1/4 can be short legged. the others will be either medium or long legged. and then about 1/4 will have the leathal gene and won't hatch.
We are personally working on blues, mottles, btb. Eventually blacks, blue mottleds, btw, whites.
