HI All,
I wanted to post a question about size. I know that when you hear bantam that means a smaller size chicken of various breeds. But I get asked this A lot...bantams ARE not a specific BREED...it just refers to their size right? Some folks really had me convinced otherwise after a long discussion...but trying to correct this know it all would just keep it going. And also...how can you tell if a chick is Bantam size or Standard when you are buying from the bin at the feed store? They are smaller...but standard chicks are small too depending on the breed. Is it truly a crap shoot?
Hope you understood my ramblings!
