Awesome. Due to limited bantams, eggs would be mostly Japanese Bantam and maybe some D'Uccle

I think I've had more bantam breeds than LF breeds. But unsure.

By the 30th I should be setting around 40 eggs.

D'Anvers
Buckeyes
Brahmas

Probably something else I'm totally neglecting...
OH Silkies
Cochins which I totally forgot about.

My new gals have not grown. They're like the size of my hand. My Japanese bantams are the size of a small bowling ball. Yikes

I’ve had:
D’Uccles
Silkies
OEGBs
Japanese
Cochins
Easter Eggers
Dutch Bantams
Bantam Pyncheon
Polish
Sebright
And maybe something else I cannot think of. Idk.

I got rid of a lot of chickens in 2017

The Japanese bantam thing was hatched from one of the eggs people left at Wisconsin International.
It seems to be half Japanese half Rosecomb bantam.
It has a Japanese shaped body and bright white earlobes and a Rosecomb shaped Rosecomb as well as red and golden leakage on a black body.
I know it is at least 50 percent pure one of those breeds since none of the birds at the show were mixed.
I'm 85 percent sure I'm right.

My LF Buckeye chicks seem to be stunted by the Mareks they had. Fortunately, the disease didn't pass to the d'Anvers. And that Japanese bantam thingy I hatched this fall is also ok sized. It has those Japanese legs too which is why I am 100 percent sure it has some Japanese blood.

Wow that's a lot. We share 4 in common.
I've had a dozen bantam breeds. That is enough to fill a carton with one egg of each breed. (though some never laid in their life.) That didn't seem like a lot at the time.
