A Bantam chicken and a normal rooster?

[poofhair]

Hi I think I have a Bantam chicken and a normal rooster. It is HUGE compared to the chicken. Is this ok? I will try to post a pic soon.

You mean the HEN is bantam? A rooster is a chicken too you know!

I hope you have more than just the one little banty HEN.

He'll do her in if that's the case.

Lol Im new so ya a Bantam Hen. We only got 2 because we were getting them as pets and now as they got older 1 turned out to be a rooster and the other a hen. The sales people (CAL-RANCH) told us they were both Bantams but im thinking the rooster is not.

My mom had a bantam hen bred to a standard rooster....she ended up with medium sized chickens!

Here is a pic. Does it look like a normal rooster?

If by "normal" you mean "standard sized", yes, he's a normal sized bird.

 

[poofhair]

Yes I mean standard size. Sorry I dont know much chicken vocab

So they can still have chicks?

 

[Mahonri]

Yup, they can be parents.

Ya, they can have chicks, but you'll have to be really careful because he could over breed her really quickly.
