Snowy Posted February 14, 2007 Share Posted February 14, 2007 Back to my breeds.First what type of chicken are batteries normally? Second, how big are bantams generally? Hi bronze, not too sure (someone correct me if I'm wrong) but I think batteries tend to be ISA browns, a similar breed to the omlet gingernut ranger. And I think I read somewhere that bantams are 1/4 - 1/2 the size of a normal chicken but lay eggs only 3/4 normal size. 'True' bantams are actually a seperate breed, they don't have a full size equivalent. Not sure how accurate that info is, but it's a start!!

bronze Posted February 14, 2007 Author Share Posted February 14, 2007 Thanks We've been wondering if Judy is in fact a bantam as shes still little and her eggs are fairly small Think Peggy is definitely an isa brown then Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baggins Posted February 14, 2007 Share Posted February 14, 2007 They are gorgeous! In answer to your question about the "cross" part - she looks a bit like a Partridge Wyandotte. Enjoy them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
