'Miniature' chicken breeds?

[RosemaryDuck]

Hey all! I have Seramas, and I was wondering if there any other 'mini' chicken breeds out there. I know game fowl and silkies can be somewhat small, but I was wondering if there's anything similar to Seramas in size? I really love tiny chickens .

Many standard breeds come in a bantam version. Orpingtons, welsummer, easter eggers come to mind.

Oh and also D'uccles.

Sebright seem as small as Seramas. But my opinion the Seramas are the tiniest bantam breed out there!

Yes, officially so. But Japanese are almost as small!

I’d like to see how they compare in size. I almost gotten Japanese Bantam when I was a kid. I wish I had the chance.

Old English game bantams are quite tiny, too!

I've had both. The Japanese look very like Seramas, a little less delicate in featuring, a little less broody (though they make amazing foster parents). Not too much bigger, depends on the individual.

My only experience were the Sebright. I wish I can have them again!
Bantam are interesting. Way different in large fowl.

Substitute the snake with an LF Polish roo and you have this morning's fun. Yippee. Lots of blood.
