I even have bantams and finished sized chickens. Pekins are a bantam breed-they have not any extra advantageous chickens of the comparable breed (if it relatively is sensible). There are some different "actual bantam breeds". Our totally elderly actual bantams are a pair of one/3 of the size of our 12 week outdated Rhode Island Reds-they are going to be finished sized. Our gentle Sussex bantams are a pair of million/2 the size of our finished sized gentle Sussex chickens. wish that facilitates.

A Bantam is just technically a miniature chicken one fourth to one fifth the size of a normal chicken.Some people who live in the City keep them in cages in the house because they are quiter than other exotic birds if you want to know more about Bantams go to www.belthatchery.com

a bantam is a chicken... only difference is that a bantam is small. if you go to a website... such as... idealpoultry.com... you can look at poultry for sale and they will tell you the different weights of them and pictures. silkies are a popular bantam chicken. there are many different colors and are very pretty when they are older. i have owned many different chickens so if you ever need help about them let me know.

A bantam is a chicken but a smaller breed of chickens- they look like mini chickens and they lay smaller eggs. A midsize chicken might be a polish chicken which usually lay white eggs(and yes local eggs can be white eggs...lol) and a sexlink or Rhode Island Red or Dominiques are larger more traditional chickens and they lay usually brown eggs..... There are many different breeds of chickens.
