The breed has a rich history, originating in Japan in the 1700s and carrying with it centuries of tradition and refinement.

For both new and experienced poultry keepers, these bantams are a joy to raise, offering a wonderful mix of beauty and functionality.

One of the breed’s distinctive traits is the creeper gene, which gives them their signature short legs. While this genetic feature presents some challenges in breeding, it adds to the breed’s charm and uniqueness.
