Hello all!

I received this hen and her chicks from a friend. She told me the daddy was a Bantam rooster....but is this hen a Bantam too? I've been searching pics on line trying to figure it out, but I haven't found any with a black face like she has! I think she's gorgeous!! Love the black and red together.

Thank you in advance!!

Bantam simply refers to the size. If it's half as big as a normal chicken then yes it's a bantam.

The colour and look is related to its breed and if it's a mix of more than one you may not find a definate answer to what that is (same as a poodle mixed with other dog breeds isn't really a poodle anymore but a poodle mix that could look anything like any of those breeds or none of them). It will still be a bantam though either way as long as it's small.

Thank you!!! I wondered why when I looked up Bantam it showed all different looking chickens!! LOL

I love learning new stuff! She is quite small relative to my other hens which are Ameraucana. She is closer to the size of my one Golden Campine.
