Blue Rosecomb Bantam Chicks

Purely Poultry is delighted to introduce the Blue Rosecomb Bantam Chickens, a breed that combines elegance, charm, and a rich historical background. These stunning birds are perfect for poultry enthusiasts who appreciate beauty and heritage in their flock. With their striking slate-gray feathers, gently washed with a soft blue tint, these bantams truly stand out. Their bright red rose comb, along with their white earlobes, adds a touch of sophistication, and the roosters’ long, flowing tail feathers make them a majestic sight in any backyard.

The Blue Rosecomb Bantam has deep roots in 15th-century England and has been officially recognized by the American Poultry Association since 1960. Unlike many breeds, Blue Rosecomb Bantams are true bantams, meaning there are no larger versions of the breed, making them a rare and compact variety with a rich history. Their unique coloring is the result of fascinating genetics—when breeding Blue Rosecombs, about half of the chicks will have the beautiful blue color, while the others will be either black or splash, offering a diverse and visually striking flock.

While Blue Rosecomb Bantams may take a bit longer to mature, their beauty and temperament make the wait worthwhile. They are hardy, adaptable birds that thrive in a variety of environments. Known for their calm and gentle nature, they are easy to handle, making them an excellent choice for families or beginners in poultry keeping. Though they aren’t prolific layers, hens produce between 50 to 100 small tinted eggs annually. They also tend to go broody, making them ideal for those interested in hatching and raising their own chicks.

These bantams aren’t just for show—they are also excellent foragers and love to explore their surroundings, helping to keep gardens free from pests. Their versatility and hardiness make them well-suited for both urban and rural settings.

At Purely Poultry, we are proud to offer the beautiful Blue Rosecomb Bantam alongside other varieties such as Black and Splash. Whether you’re looking to exhibit these striking birds or simply want to enjoy their beauty and personality in your backyard, the Blue Rosecomb Bantam is sure to impress.

“Breeding Blue Disclaimer: When breeding blue chickens, genetics play a unique role in color outcomes. Breeding two blue chickens typically results in 50% blue offspring, 25% splash (lighter, spotted plumage), and 25% black. This predictable color variation is a natural part of blue chicken genetics, so keep in mind that not all chicks from blue parents will be blue.”
