Miniature Chickens??

[horseychick2]

I was at an auction today and they had about 10-15 tiny chickens in a cage for the sale. They could fit into the palm of you hand they were so small!! I was amazed. Is this an actual breed? Or is it some kind of mutant?

one bird or all 10 to 15 at one time in your hand?

Possibly young bantams did you happen to get any pictures?

 

[horseychick2]

Just one at a time. They were definately chickens because there were hens and roos, and they had combs and waddles and all that. Sadly I didn't get any pictures.

Maybe Seramas.....they are very small....

 

[horseychick2]

But they were like half the size of seramas, so idk. It was an auction, so you never know what is gonna show up.

they were micro seramas... i have a couple here that are about 6oz... i've seen some that were 4oz before... full grown and feathered up roosters...

Where is this auction in NJ, and do they always have poultry?

 

[horseychick2]

Ok that would make sense, since they were really small. The auction is in Cranberry, NJ. It is actually a horse auction, but they also sell tack, livestock, small animals, etc. There is usually poultry. Tonight it was just those chickens, a few other roos, multiple types of doves, and a golden pheasant. There were mostly rabbits. Like I said, it all depends on what the people bring in.
