HenThymes your bantams look really good. Nice full and round. I like that. Congrats on your wins. Keep up the good work

Thank you so much Julie, you are much an inspiration to the way I want my bantams to look when I am done.

 

[BamaChicken]

I bet you will reach your goal. Looks like your doing pretty good already

Thanks for the welcome.

Isn't this face just adorable!!

Yes, but its feet are yellow. Did you hatch these or buy the chicks/eggs? Some breeders often cross the wyandotte and orpington bantams to increase fertility in one or the other. I have couple of rose combs with white legs I am using this season in my Buff Wyandotte pen. Will cull them heavy in the chicks this year. With Buff Orpington Bantams you donot want to use any with yellow shanks.
