Tommy is personality plus, a lover, a protector with a fierce spirit, and aware at all times of all things. Handsome as all get out with a pretty face and a beautiful feather pattern of red, black, and white, he will make a nice addition to any bantam project pin.
These darling boys, Tommy and Randy, have been hand raised with love and gentleness. Randy is more calm while Tommy is a bit more highly strung. Both are easily handled. They are beautifully marked with an overall Calico/Mille Fleur pattern and would make a nice addition to a small flock or...
