Welcome to BYC!

I don't keep bantams so I do not have a clue. But there will be others stopping by here to welcome you that do keep them and can tell you how many eggs they lay.

Enjoy all your poultry adventures and welcome to our flock!

Hello and Welcome To BYC! Depends what breed of bantam, there are some breeds that come only in bantam and most standard breeds also come in bantam size.... so ie Bantam Ameraucana will lay blue eggs, Bantam Leghorns will lay white, Bantam Cochins will lay brown etc like their larger relatives. How many eggs they lay will again depend on the breed, but in general Bantams do not lay as many eggs as their larger version. The Henderson Chicken breed chart has a list of True Bantams (those breeds that only come in bantam) and gives a general idea of how many eggs they lay and color http://www.sagehenfarmlodi.com/chooks/bantam.html

Not all Bantams are the same and depending on the ones you get will depend on the egg color from white to blue green pink or brown .....
