Heritage Bantam Thread

[BGMatt]

Walt Leonard has Wt. Leghorn bantams and I'm sure he knows where some of the other requests could be located too.

Jeff

He has some very nice Leghorn bantams. Maybe Mr. Leonard could share some photos of them with the thread.

Just looking to spark some more interest in standard bred bantams. I think so many get wrapped up in large fowl and never consider the bantam. They're quite a joy to raise and can be productive too.

I will post some when I return from Canada next week.

I certainly hope Old English Game qualify as heritage bantams. Sharing a picture of my Spangled pullet from this past weekend show, she was Reserve of Variety in a class of ~15-16

Congratulations! She is beautiful!! Spangled pattern is very attractive. Lual

Thank you! Hopefully many more and bigger awards to come. I really enjoy the Spangled and got a great start from Steve Suchy.

Anyone out there with some good standard "heritage" bred Mediterranean bantams? Leghorn bantams, Spanish bantams, Andalusian bantams, etc?

Were any of you at the ABA National in Knoxville this weekend? Any wins to brag about? Any photos of winners to share?

Just joining the thread.

I have a Bantam Cochin Frizzle. I'd like to get her a roo and some female company.
She's white. I'd like to get some color going.
I'm located in the Deep South

Any advice or suggestions?
