White Old English Bantam Chicks

Purely Poultry is excited to introduce the White Old English Bantam Chicks, a captivating breed that brings both charm and history to your backyard. These bantams are not only stunning in appearance, but they also carry a legacy that dates back to the 1st century, when their ancestors were introduced to Britain by the Romans. Originally bred for cockfighting, they have since evolved into beloved show birds and backyard companions, known for their beauty and grace.

The White Old English Bantam is a true standout in any flock. With their pristine white plumage and proud, upright stance, these birds bring a touch of elegance to any setting. Roosters, in particular, boast long, flowing tail feathers that make them a sight to behold. For those interested in showing their birds, roosters are often dubbed (having their combs and wattles removed) to enhance their sleek, polished appearance in the show ring. Hens, on the other hand, are known for their nurturing instincts, making them excellent mothers who are attentive and protective of their chicks.

These bantams are more than just beautiful—they are practical and easy to care for. Their small size, with hens weighing around 22 ounces and roosters about 24 ounces, makes them a great fit for both urban and rural environments. They have minimal space and feed requirements, making them ideal for smaller backyard setups. Despite their size, they are active foragers and will happily help keep your garden free of pests and weeds.

In terms of productivity, White Old English Bantam hens lay approximately 100 small brown eggs each year, adding a practical benefit to their ornamental appeal. Their gentle temperament also makes them a joy to handle, whether you’re a seasoned poultry keeper or just starting out.
