I have a buddy that has them. They are hatchery stock and I think they came from Cackle or Welp hatchery so you may want to check with them. I can ask him to sell you a dozen eggs. His are mixed colors. Pm me if you are interested.

Same as here, I'm looking for the Nankin Bantam hens, because i already have 2 nankins. 1 Rooster and one hen.
So, I wanted to breeding more nankins. i dont sure if my hen would lay more eggs while rooster breeding her. and i dont want her get too stress from the rooster.
I also have 3 silkies bantam, 1 leghorn, 2 Light Brahma, and 2 Amercanas in there with them right now.
So.. i might cross silkies and nankin. im going to keep the chicks not sell them.
because its crossbreed, if i get pure nankins chicks, i will sells some and keep some too.

Place of Origin: Southeast Asia Conservation Status: Critical
Special Qualities: The bird is extremely rare, pretty, and very personable. It is a true bantam breed with no standard.
The Nankin is a true bantam and is considered to be one of the most ancient of all bantam breeds. They were first imported to the United States and Britain in the 1700's.
During this time in Britain they were extremely popular and wereused in the development of the Sebright breed. They are now very rare in both the U.S. and Britain.
These birds are very active and talkative. They are friendly and usually pretty slow to mature. They are fliers, but can tolerate confinement.
When given access to free range they normally stay close to the coop and do not tend to wander. They do not do well in cold and if kept in areas that have cold winters will require a tightly built and insulated coop.
The hens lay small white eggs, go broody, and are excellent protective mothers.
They are such broody birds that they historically have been used to set for game birds such as partridges, quail, and pheasant. This trait is probably one of the things that have kept the breed from going extinct over the years.
