What's the smallest bantam breed?

One of the things I always enjoy about this site is that there are so many people willing to state factual information that's wrong. The APA admitted White Seramas to the Standard in 2012.
Standard weights are: cocks, 16 oz; hens 14 oz; cockerels 14 oz; pullets 12 oz. Considerably smaller than OEGBs or Dutch Bantams.

Wow really? Only whites?

Yes, they're very friendly.

The hens make adorable chirring noises, have extremely soft feathers, and go crazy over mealworms. The cocks are always extremely nice to their hens, though they do ensure that the hens are always laying fertile eggs. Sometimes, the males attack humans when they perceive them as a threat, but a little 21oz. cock isn't very frightening when it slams into your leg.

awww they sound precious. My little OEGB is the same way.

Oops! I didn't know about that. I only have the 2010 American Standard of Perfection, and don't always stay on top of newly admitted breeds.

An honest mistake since the only way one would know that they were admitted is by carefully following the breed admission procedures. They have not published an updated standard book for three years.

Here's the current list of APA recognized breeds

Quote: Actually that list is out of date--it fails to list several varieties that were admitted prior to its "as of" date. If you are an APA member, you should be getting quarterly newsletters and an annual yearbook. These contain information on new breeds/varieties that have become recognized.
