Can old english game bantams tolerate cold

Thats a nornal bantam size. Thats a fill grown hand, not a child's. Only reason most bantams look larger is because most bantams have fluffed feathers

Actually, I've had other bantams before and they usually don't get that small. These guys are like the midgets of the midget world to me.

Whatever. They're not full grown yet, so they have growing still. I'm just saying what I've witnessed and owned are all the same size as most bantams

Ok, cool. I just wanted to be sure bc these guys are a lot smaller than normal bantams and IDK if the care is different. They're the kind if microscopic chicken you see someone holding in the palm of their hands. They're almost micro serama sized.

Usually I won't put em' in the run till they are pullet size.. Then segregate them till they have the cojones to mix.. Works well for me..

Actually, bantams come in a variety of different sizes. They typically weigh between 1 and 2.5 pounds. Old English game bantams usually weigh about 22 ounces, which is close to 1.5 pounds. They're basically pocket chickens. From what I've seen online, they typically domt get very big at all.

Anyway, I just wanted to know if they could tolerate cold winter temps. Like not just below freezing, but below 20 degrees. We get some pretty harsh winters here, and I don't know how well they can tolerate the cold. I'd hate to lose them to a harsh freeze. Just hoping someone here who has experience with this particular breed could give me some insight.
