Jap Thread!

I have a pair and a trio of mottled Japs from Paul Kroll. Anyone interested in an egg trade?

jenjscott- good post! important to know about the lethal gene with this breed.

here are some photos of my btw japanese, you can see how long their legs are compared to the pics of my grey japanese (whose wings drag on the ground and you can hardly see their feet).

Please people, lets stick to topic here on Japanese Bantams. The word "Jap" is referring to the chicken and is no way a derogatory word toward a group of people. This is not a thread on being politically correct here, it is simply about a breed of chicken.

Carry on and thank you for your cooperation.

Something happened with my new chicks that may help someone else. When the chicks were three days old I noticed one staying off to the side, eyes partially closed and not moving much. The other seven chicks were running around eating and drinking. I've seen this before. After dipping the sick chick's beak in water several times the chick started to drink on its own; for a long time-then eating a bit and returning to the water dish again and again. It wasn't long before I could not tell which chick had been ill. It pays to make sure that chicks have learned to drink. All eight chicks are doing well; mom and chicks are now back with the flock and off the dining room table.

This is the only one I have and I think it a rooster. He is very sweet but don't know what to do with him I guess I need some ladies. What do you think?View attachment 1040985 View attachment 1040986

This is him now
I need a hen or two. He is relatively quiet though.
