Black Rosecomb Bantam Chicks

Purely Poultry is proud to present the Black Rosecomb Bantam Chickens, a breed that brings elegance, charm, and a touch of history to your flock. Originating in 14th century England, these captivating birds have been stealing the hearts of poultry enthusiasts for centuries. Recognized by the American Standard of Perfection since 1874, the Black Rosecomb Bantam is a true classic, admired for both its beauty and its spirited personality.

One of the standout features of the Black Rosecomb Bantam is its glossy black plumage, which shimmers with a subtle green sheen in the sunlight. This luxurious coat is complemented by the bird’s distinctive bright red rose comb, large round white earlobes, and a full, eye-catching tail. At about 26 ounces for roosters and 22 ounces for hens, these petite bantams may be small, but they’re big on style, making them a stunning addition to any flock.

Though they may not be prolific layers, producing between 50 to 100 small tinted eggs per year, these bantams more than make up for it with their lively and confident temperament. Known for their spunky yet non-aggressive nature, Black Rosecomb Bantams add personality to any backyard. They are also excellent flyers, which means they enjoy a bit of adventure but can adapt well to confined spaces, making them suitable for a variety of living situations.

Breeding enthusiasts will find these bantams particularly rewarding, as they tend to go broody and make fantastic mothers. Their nurturing instincts and dedication to raising chicks are just one more reason why this breed is beloved by poultry keepers. With a history that stretches back to centuries of careful breeding and refinement, the Black Rosecomb Bantam offers a rich legacy along with its aristocratic good looks.
