I'm thinking of selling all my Japanese Bantams.... I'm really wanting to switch that coop completely over to the new Red Cochin Bantams I got. I have 4 Grey JB. 1 Roo, 2 hens and a 1 Pullet. You'll have to pardon them, they are molting.
I already rehomed my Black Tailed White JB about 2...
I guess I should have mentioned my silkie did the brooding! This one was seperated from the coop because I have another broody silkie in the coop... and those two steal each others eggs and it becomes a terrible mess with low hatch rate So I have to move them away from each other with their...
We have chicks!!!
We ended up hatching out 2 Japanese bantams (father is Black tailed white, the hens are grey), we also ended up hatching out 2 silkies... one white, one grey.
Very lucky hatch of 100%!
I'm happy to say, the JB hens have the wrong color legs, but both chicks got the correct...
I just have them because I enjoy them. The idea I wouldn't be able to hatch well is sad, and I have some eggs under a broody.... but I don't care if they are typy at all. I usually only show or mess with my silkies because I understand their genes better after a couple years of research and...

Also... my grey hens JB have the wrong leg color, they are grey/green and not the...
I have a broody silkie, I have put 6 eggs under her.... 4 are from my Japanese Bantams (2 grey hens & a btw roo) and the other 2 are from my silkies. Can't WAIT to see what hatches out.
So I may have a few chicks available, since this is just a test run.
Too bad my grey boy died in the last snow we had.... he was gorgeous! My girls' are not the best, their legs are the wrong color but the rest are nice. My white boy is perfect!
ANyone in NC looking to buy a trio of Jap Banties? I have a blacktailed white roo & 2 Grey pullets. All hatched this last spring. The girls are pet quality and the roo is breeder quality (I lost my BTW pullet during that huge 10" snow we got over Christmas )
