Hatched May 26, 2012, these adorable black tailed white japanese bantam cockerels are currently seeking new homes. I am asking for $5 per bird, but they are growing quickly and must go so I will consider going below the asking price.
Please be aware that both of the parents these bantams are...
I have a small flock of 2 black tailed white Japanese bantam hens and one black tailed white Japanese bantam rooster in their own (huge!) coop. I allowed one hen to nest on her eggs for the first time 21 days ago. Sure enough, the other hen wanted in on the fun! They both went broody on the same...
Hello everyone!
I would really like to share a great story with you.
My grandmother is the activities director of a nursing home. She is always great at her job and brings so much joy to those older residents. As a child, she would always let me help out with the weekly nursing home parties that...
I'm not sure whether to laugh or be concerned about my rooster's "issues".
Background Info: My 5 Japanese Bantams are really quite special. I received them as a graduation gift last year and they are now reaching maturity. They were they sweetest, tiniest little chicks ever. They unfortunately...
What on earth is going on? I was told that hens can only lay one egg a day but we have recently been getting some crazy numbers. We gather eggs when the sun rises and again when the sun sets. Earlier this week, we had 15 eggs in one day. A day later... 18 eggs. Later... 23 eggs. And finally...
Hello! I was just wondering if anyone had any ideas for a Japanese looking coop?? We are going to start my Japanese bantam coop soon and we were hoping for it to have a Japanese look to it. Suggestions and ideas are welcome!
Hello! I have 5 two month old BTW Japanese bantams, I cockerel and 5 pullets. I bought all of them from the same two parent birds, both pure BTW japs. All 5 are doing well, but I noticed something strange recently. One pullet is developing barring on her tail! Not just on one feather, but it's...
Would my japanese bantam cockerel have a chance at being dominant over a standard sized barred rock cockerel? They're both the same age and are being raised together, along with several pullets.
I recently got 5 assorted Japanese bantams. They are all yellow, but one has a tiny black spot on her head and two have an orangish tint around their necks. I was looking at different online pictures trying to find out what color varieties I have. I saw on one site that black tailed buff chicks...
My grandfather surprised me with 5 Japanese bantam chicks as a graduation present. He ordered from purely poultry. He called in a frenzy this morning saying that he got 5 cockerels and 10 pullets instead of 4 pullets and 1 cockerel! We can only keep 5 of them (1 cockerel and 4 pullets). All the...

In about 2 weeks I will be getting 5 Japanese bantam chicks for a graduation present. I currently have a healthy flock of 14 eight-week old chicks. We are just about to finish building the coop, but a question popped into my head. Since Japanese bantams are so different and tiny, would they need...
I was walking through a large field 2 weeks old and I came across a strange egg. There were no towers or trees anywhere near by so it couldn't have fallen. The egg was a bit larger than an average chicken egg an had a sort of off-white tint to it. The thing that surprised me the most was it's...
Hello! I have been searching all over for a hatchery to get some Japanese bantams from and I just recently found purely poultry. I would be spending quite a bit of money on chicks, and I was wondering if some of you could give me a little but of information on purely poultry hatchery? Would you...
Hello! I was recently chatting with a very experienced chicken raiser. He asked me how I was enjoying my 14 six-week old chicks, and I told him about how I bathe them once a week and pet each one and want a porch light on their coop. To my surprise, he bursted into laughter and told me I was...
Does the color of a Japanese bantam ( ex. mottled, white, black tailed white, buff, brown, and gray) really effect the color of the chick? Does a mottled Japanese bantam chick look different than a black, buff, black tailed white, or gray Japanese bantam chick? Please help because I'm going to...
I had 15 baby chicks, all doing very well. 5 RIRs, 5 Buff orpingtons, 2 light brahmas, a Red Star, a silver laced Wyandotte, and a barred rock. On Wednesday, they were approaching 3 weeks old. One of the light brahmas suddenly became very lethargic and stopped eating. We called Farm and Fleet...
I've searched from here (central ilinois) all the way to foreign countries! I can NOT find any local Japanese bantam or serama bantam breeders! I only want one or two birds... not 15! Another problem... I'm not going to pay $50 for shipping. That's ridiculous, so I'll just pick them up by...
