as small as i can get i would like toget a cockerl that is less then 3.5 pounds but a little bigger might be fine. im looking to cross with my bantams to help im prove type while not sacrafising color and couldn't find any one with bantam og in black.


nice pullet are you working on mottled

i may not have a black that small in a stag but will in a hen. i will try to save you a small pair to ship this fall .

i dont want a female because the size comes from the female and i want them to be small but might try to get the smallest male you have

Maybe try black Tuzo. They are bantam sized and kinda oriental.

I probably hatched around 40 mottled/spangled chicks this year with at least several good looking ones.

i didnt think of them do you know anyone with some i was thinking maby black aseel but couldn't find any the only black og i could find in bantams were ko shamo but they have a split wing so anywase thanks for the idea i think ill go with what i find as a better idea

There used to be some pretty nice ones a couple minutes from me. They may have been white, but may be able to mix with black. I don't think she has very many, maybe down to one cock, but I can breed it with my smallest black hen if I wanted, I'm sure she'd allow a visiting bird to come breed.

 

[cubalaya]

yeah, i think you should go with the tuzo

 

[cubakid]

Be aware though. Some are "knock offs" and would be useless.

thanks for the warning how do you tell the difference and i was wondering if thai or bantam whites would be better
