The Bantam Thread!

Those topknots are darling. Most of my polish mixes dont show a topknot until much older. Of course their doos are much shorter too than most adult polish.

They kind of look like those boys haircuts where the hair stands up on end on the top of the head. Especially my EE X Polish Chippy:

Oh my goodness....they are just adorable!!!!!!!! I Love those feathers!

It's definitely Betty who is laying.

These were waiting on me when we got home from vacation.

Exciting!!! Over how many days were those laid? And can you post a pic of Betty? Just getting into raising Bantams, so I'm curious!

I love the frizzles too, especially when they have topknot. Chippy is all grown up and her feathers are so pretty. When you hold her you see just how small she really is (mine all are banties) but with her feathers out and full she looks about twice a big as she really is. Here she is all grown up with her brood of babies.

Could bantams be an exemption from zoning disallowing chickens?
Since they are not raised for meat or eggs but instead for pets and show Im wondering....
Does anyone have any experience or knowledge about this subject? Id love to start a discussion on this subject.

Can anyone tell me if these are boys or girls? I am very confused why some have wattles and others don't.
