This breed has been discontinued for 2010. The Japanese Bantam is a truly unusual breed of chicken! It's one of the few breeds that's a "true bantam", meaning it is not and never was bred as a standard-size chicken. They're extremely short-legged, their tails should be well-spread and pointing almost straight up, and their combs and wattles should be proportionally very large, which makes them susceptible to frostbite. (Note: Short-leggedness does not breed true, so about 50% of these birds will have the short-legged gene.)

If you have questions about this policy, you can learn more by reading "How to determine the best minimum for you" below, or by visiting our Chicken Help pages.
