Bantams

I got two new bantam hens. So small. Don't know what breed they are. Don't really care. They are so cute.

They look like crosses! The black and white one the neck looks like my bantam cross.

I just can't get over how little they are. I have never seen one until today. They are feisty too. Because they are new they have been picked on a little but they don't always run away, sometimes they stand up and fight (just a little).

The VERY SAME THING WITH MINE! Fiesty, tiny, mixes.

Last year we bought a OEGB game roo and two hens. Well, the folks decided to turn them into the big chickens pen. One of the big roos started picking on the OEGB roo, who ran like lightning between the big roo's legs and jumped onto the big roo's back, holding on with his beak, clawing with his feet, and beating with his wings. Once the big roo got away, he stayed away! These guys may be little, but they have big hearts!

Are you guys watching the video I posted? If not here's the link. Watch it. You can see how small they are next to an adult Red.

I just hope they lay soon before it gets cold. I want to see how small their eggs are.

We had a broody hen so we got some eggs. They happened to be Japanese-Old English Game bantams. They are super cute and tiny. I compare them to little road runners. I recently started a blog and there's a post called "Growing Chicks" if you want to see bantam chicks. You've not seen tiny until you've seen a just hatched bantam baby!

Yours are cuties too!

I am raising my first-ever chickens and I had ordered one bantam, an EE, so that I could have little green/blue eggs.
I wasn't expecting that it would turn out to be my favorite pullet of the whole bunch!

My little Clementina is not afraid of anything (least of all me) and is always the first to investigate, beg for mealworms, and fly out of the brooder to see what I might have for her!
The cutest thing is when she puffs out her chest and stands up to the big girls!
And she's so small, she can duck down and run underneath the crowd to get at what she wants (like a dish of yogurt.)
Makes me wish I'd gotten all bantams!
