oh yeah i forgot about the OP asking for bantam birds...


no, i don't think they exist... it would be nice though...

Sorry I don't know bantam breeds very well, just named off what fit the color description to me. I know bantam black minorcas are around... I have one of them

she's a very poor layer, never been broody... actually the only reason I keep her is because my best friend named her lol

Do bantam WFBS even exist??

Yes, I remember judging some [2 or 3] at a show some years back. Can't remember what show though.​

They do exist, we have a breeder within 30 miles of here with them. They are interesting birds, kind of ugly in my opinion, but they are out there.

 

[mrslb333]

Could they be Minorca bantams

 

[Vcomb]

I had a trio of the bantam wfbs from sandhill that were looking really good at one time. coon got them before they were old enough to lay though.

 

[Pyncheon guy]

Does the OP know what kind of comb they have.....that would be a major clue?

 

[gumbii]

does the OP remember he made a thread...?

But not everyone knows the difference between cheeks and earlobes on chickens particularly if it's someone who's new to chickens and they haven't learned all of the terminology yet.

Sorry got snowed in I live up in a valley in the Arbuckle mountans. We got over 6" up here!

My pair that I posted are full grown. They are classifided as Bantums. There is a STandard also. Originaly bred for the pit in Spain My Roo has got me seveal times has a 3" spur I keep filed off No telling how long it would get. They are in the size catagory as Cochins, of
which I own a Golden Cochin Pair. Hope to breed from these also.

I also keep SDW's, BB Reds, and Brown reds.
And Bantum Ducks. Better known as Call Ducks.
" Love my Little Chickens"

Also keep Goats, Both sizes LOL. Large flock of Laying Hens and Dogs & Cats. Been crazy around here this week a few nights single digit temps
That's cold for us down here.

Ugly ? yeh but The Rooster stands so well it's like he's saying "call me ugly I dare you!"

P.S. I will post some close ups of my pair if I can get someone to Hold Poncho Villa !!!

Ok I edit again. I went back though and read some of the post here. Who ever posted the pic of The almost perfect White faced Black Spanish Bantum should answer all your questions. Mine are from Show Stock of a breeder. The only differance in mine and the pic is mine is more filled out. Scamble that boy some eggs and watch him get tough looking.
