Yes.. that is the colour I am aiming for. Just a bit more golden yellow in the neck feathers.

I had some nearly right last year. But instead of the long neck feathers being the golden orange colour they were kind of deep red. But the rest of the bird was the right colour.. with the black breast and everything else correct. Earlier this year I again got it nearly right. All the...

Anyone have any photos of what a Japanese Bantam with the colouration of a wild jungle fowl looks like? What would they call this colour? So black chest, and red and gold hackles and saddle.. but with yellow legs. I like that colour and am trying to create it in my Japanese Bantams by...

Looks like a pullet for sure. Very cute!

Keeping a rooster in a small plastic box for several months... so small he can't even hold his tail upright, and causign him to become deformed, seems a tad cruel. How come you could not get him a cage or make him a bigger place to live during that time? I recommend you invest in proper...

If you pluck out the broken feather it will re grow quickly. Otherwise you are doing to have to wait till the next molt.. which could be a year away! The crooked tail.. if it's lopsided and held to the side.. is genetic fault. You can not fix that... and you should not use that rooster from...

Help with Tail Colour Genetics. Have been trying to make some BLUE Tail White Japanese Bantams with no success and I am confused as to the reason. I have a succeeded in making lots of Blue Tail Buff roosters and hens. But, my white birds always are pure white!!! I have a single... now...

Most of mine are very tame.... and come running if they see me in the garden.. They all feed from my hand.. and some love being picked up and petted.. even the roosters. They are my pets and I spend a lot of time with them. If hatch egg and raise them in a brooder they get super tame. Even my...

Can you not keep the cockerels where you live? For me I like the cockerels the best!!! They have the beautiful colours and that's why I keep this breed. The will not fight if you house them all together in a large run.. or free range them..... Just don't put any hens in with them!!!!

Those chicks are so cute... I have never had any look like that!!! I think they might be mottled when they are older... just have to wait and see!! Here is another one of my Roosters.. I am pleased with his colouring. I am seriously addicted to these chickens.. I love the roosters the best...

Its a bad photo of him... I took it just as he was fluffing himself up ready for a shake and feather reshuffle. He is also getting on a bit.. must be around 8 years old.. although I have no idea how long they live for. Here is a better pic.

Why do you think they are mixed with another breed? I am worried now as I have been selling them as Japanese Bantams..... I only have theses chickens and I have been breeding from the original stock for 6 years. I started with several roosters and a few hens.. all of different colours. I let...

Please help me put a name to these colours I have in a couple of my Jap Roosters. What colour is this guy? And his grumpy looking friend? Thanks.

It should not be a problem at all for the bird. It might have come from an injury in the past... and when he moults into his next set of feathers it may straighten back up. Its not always genetic. I got a beautiful Jap Rooster that was sold to be very cheap (and he is a rare colour). He...

I am going to the shop tomorrow. Very excited. I have many colours of Japs at the moment... including white, and black. I will put him in with a white and a black hen when he is old enough... then see what chicks I get. I can also back cross the chicks to their parents and see if that helps...

Thanks.. I just think he is so cute and perfect!!! I will go back to the shop in a few days... I am selling them some young chickens from my flock. I will see if they will do some kind of exchange or price reduction as I have a lot of good quality Japs for them this time. I will get a photo...

Can anyone help with potential colour outcome of a cross? I just saw a beautiful barred Japanese bantam cockerel in the pet shop. He is the only one of that colour.....the first one I have seen in my area for 4 years! There is no hen to pair him to. I have pure white Japanese at the...

We all have our personal opinions about what we like... we are not all the same. I like the size, shape, temperament and colours of the Japanese Bantams......I also like 'the short legs. But I don't like the extreme short legs of show quality birds. The breed standard varies over the...

No - well not the show quality type. But they should still have short legs, compared to other chicken breeds, and some will have shorter legs than others - but very unlikely the proper short length. If you want extra short leg Japanese Bantams, you need to go to a proper breeder.
