By Peter Mauer Laying hens have always been popular with people who want to raise chickens. The reason for this is because of their ability to produce a lot of eggs for the table. Not to mention extra eggs to be sold to bring in income. In the last few years Bantams have become very popular for people to raise for a variety of reason.
Bantams come in a variety of shapes and colors.
Bantams tiny size is what really cons many people into raising them. Basically there are two types of bantams. First there is the purebred Bantam which is very small and tiny. Even when they are full grown. Second is the barnyard Bantam which is a cross between a regular chicken and a bantam.
