  5. I love your banty! We have three (two old English and one Rhode Island Red). Banties are so much more fun and have such cute eggs.

  6. Lisa, I would love to see a male Japanese Bantam. I bet they're beautiful!

    Emily, I love seeing all their little eggs lined up. Quite cool with the different colors.

  8. K9, they do look a lot alike!

    Hubs and I had a good laugh watching the chicken video of MDC and Red that you had posted at K9. Very funny. :)

  10. Hey Ed, thanks for visiting. With that tail you would think it was a rooster, but Peanut is actually a little girl. Crazy, huh?

  11. That is a GIRL??? WOW! She's beautiful!!

    Got any pics of the bantam eggs compared to the "big" hen's eggs? I hear banty's have small eggs, but I wonder how small small is.

    How tame are your chickens? And...are these your first chickens - I think I remember reading that they are? I've been slowly reading up on all your chicken posts from your chickens tag since I'm on the quest for chicken knowledge.

  12. Kate, all six of our girls are very tame and friendly. I'm home all day, so they are used to being loved and doted upon. Always having treats helps too. ;)

    With the eggs, two banty eggs equals one large standard.
