Japanese Bantam Thread!

The Standard is not important if you like your chickens and don't intend to show them. Just enjoy them at home.

That is what I do. I just enjoy them at home.

I am wheelchair bound so the antics of my 3 japanese 1 cochin and 2 halfbreeds are a big part of my amusement. I will leave the breeding with a purpose to those that know how. Just nice to know chicken lovers like me are welcome here too.

By the way my vet stops small bleeding cuts on bird legs and feet with super glue.

New Chicks!!!!

I had a lovely surprise when one of my broody Japanese Bantams hatched out 7 out of her 8 eggs. Usually she can only manage about 3 or 4! Think she is getting the hang of it now.

I was surprised to get such a range of colours in the chicks - I have no idea how I got a black one as I don't have any black birds!

The super glue thing is great for cuts on us too. Yes all of us crazy chicken ladies/men are always welcome.

I had black chicks hat once and didn't have any black bird but to our surprise the black faded fast and turned to white with very little black splashes on the feathers.

Hi, I'm new to the site. I have a pair of silver birchen japs, and hope to breed with them later on this year. I'm a bit worried about the whole leg thing. The both of them have short legs, does that mean that 25% of the chicks would die in the shell?
Picture of the roo. He's a real pet:


I'm also in love with the millefleur colour. I have a millefleur Pekin who's a sweetie. Are there any Japs in this colour?

I am raising Splash and blue frizzle japs. I need to get their legs shorter, does any know of a Japanese breeder in/near VT?
