They sure are pretty birds, but hard to find. Anyone here raise them?

They're an old true bantam breed: http://www.nankinbantams.com/

I've been raising bantams for years and never heard of them.

I have them. They aren't laying right now. I think they are scared of the snow here in OK. So far we are 9 inches above normal. I also have not seperated them yet. I still have them in with my silkes and dorkings. I figured they all need to be together for warmth.

Is that then in your avatar picture?

Yes, but I don't take very good pictures. When they are free ranging the will run straight to me and won't leave. That makes it hard to get a picture that doesn't have my feet in it. I have to run from them to keep them from following me everywhere. Nankins have always been my favorite.

I have a pair of them and they are really nice birds. I hope to have eggs available this summer
