Brassy Back Old English Bantam Chicks

Purely Poultry is excited to offer the Brassy Back Old English Bantam Chicks, a breed that combines striking looks with practical appeal. These bantams are a wonderful choice for any flock, bringing a touch of elegance with their beautiful plumage and a delightful personality to match. Whether you’re a seasoned poultry keeper or just starting your backyard flock, these charming birds will quickly win you over.

The visual appeal of the Brassy Back Old English Bantam is undeniable. Roosters display a bold mix of black and brassy-gold feathers, while hens exhibit a softer, yet equally stunning, combination of golden hues against a sleek black backdrop. This contrast creates a striking appearance that makes them stand out, whether they’re in a show or simply wandering around your yard.

But there’s more to these bantams than just good looks. Known for their friendly and calm temperament, Brassy Back Old English Bantams are great companions for families and poultry enthusiasts alike. They adapt easily to various environments, making them an excellent choice for both small urban backyards and more spacious country homesteads. Their petite size—hens around 22 ounces and roosters about 24 ounces—means they are easy to care for, needing less space and feed than larger breeds, which is perfect for those wanting a manageable flock.

In addition to their charm and beauty, these bantams are also practical contributors to any homestead. They lay around 100 small brown eggs annually, providing a steady supply of eggs while maintaining their lively and engaging presence in your yard. Their hardy nature ensures they thrive in various climates, making them a versatile and reliable addition to your flock.

Historically, the Brassy Back Old English Bantam’s ancestry can be traced back to Old English Game birds, once favored in the arenas of ancient Rome. Today, they are celebrated not for their combative roots but for their elegance and friendly nature, making them a beloved breed for poultry keepers around the world.

At Purely Poultry, we believe the Brassy Back Old English Bantam Chicks are a wonderful mix of history, beauty, and practicality. Whether you’re looking to add a show-stopping bird to your exhibition lineup or simply want a friendly and productive member of your backyard flock, these bantams are an excellent choice.
