Silver Line Bantam
The Silverline Bantam, also known in many parts of the world as Chabo, is a breed of chicken originating in Japan. They are a bantam breed, with large upright tails that often reach over the chicken's head. The wings angle down and to the back along the sides.
Silkies
Silkies are usually classed as a light breed of large fowl rather than a bantam. Although they require a little more care (with dry housing and regular cleaning, especially around the feathered feet), they make wonderful pets.
Italian Bantam
A gentle but hardy heavy soft-feathered breed who love to forage. Originally called Italian bantam after the river which divides , the hens lay tinted brown eggs and make great mothers.
True Bantam
A true bantam of great antiquity and elegance, they have no large counterpart. They have been bred in Japan for hundreds of years for their low carriage, large upright tails and large combs. An ideal breed for the perfectionist. Although a beautiful bird, we have had real trouble hatching these eggs in the incubator.
