Hello, just came across this thread. Most of my Silkies are Chinese white, original bloodline, which are more around medium-standard sized, I only have a few that classify as bantams.
Here's one of my bantam Silkies compared to standard silkies. They're 13-14 weeks old in these photos.View attachment 1930690 View attachment 1930691 The bantam silkie is on the far left.

Definitely a huge difference in size..Very pretty...

Where did you get your silkies and ancona bantam?

Yes she definitely does, and they love her.

That's sweet. Our mother hen died trying to protect her chicks from a hawk attack.

That's terrible....

That’s very sad.

So many Bantams I like ...
I want so many breeds I see but can't find them locally.
I know of a Man with Bantams but I'm thinking most are pure Mutts and not the real breeds he is saying they are.
Hmmm? Might be my winter project? Trying to locate Bantams or eggs I want in the spring...

Not yet, I just sent my contact info though. I'm guessing probably in Spring since the days are getting shorter but we'll see!
