Pullets generally weigh about 32 ounces, and cockerels about 36 ounces. Their balanced structure and distinctive coloring make them suitable for both backyard flocks and exhibition.

    Adorable chickens! I got 2 hens they’re very sweet and friendly and they get along great with the rest of my Bantams! Would definitely purchase them again

  2. Michelle Hall

    I wouldn’t order this breed again. The chicks were all healthy, but they were extremely aggressive towards each other and the bantam easter eggers they shipped with, which made raising that batch of chicks so stressful. They remained the flightiest, least-tame birds in the flock despite constant gentle handling. They kept to themselves and didn’t integrate with the bantam EEs they were shipped and raised with, or with subsequent additions to the flock.

    I ordered 5 straight run and received 2 females and four males. One of the males had the wrong comb type. One of the females ended up with a wonky wing with one flight feather that would always stick out. The other 4 were really gorgeous birds, but so ridiculously flighty and panicky around humans that I don’t think they could ever be show birds. I kept a single female because she was so pretty and was laying well, but then she completely stopped laying for 4-5 months, in mostly mild weather. So ultimately I won’t be keeping any of this breed and wouldn’t recommend the breed based on my experience. I had a much better experience with Cackle’s bantam easter eggers, and especially their bantam rhode island reds who have been a dream to raise.

    Great little birds

    Ordered some late March, all arrived healthy and active. Have been fun little birds to watch! Kids showed them at the county fair. Had a cockerel when grand champion and best of show in open class and a pullet get reserve in the 4H bantam class. Judge said had she been about a month older she would have swept the class easily. Would definitely consider ordering more when we need to restock the flock!

    Mixed reveiw

    All chicks arrived healthy-however after a couple weeks a couple exhibited uncontrollable shaking and had to be euthanized. The ones left are nice birds-an APA sanctioned judge was surprised how good the quality of the birds were coming from a hatchery, he felt they were able to compete well in large shows. Friendly and great layers.

    Best Bantams Ever

    We have never been so completely satisfied as we are with these birds and been doing birds for 26 years. The Columbian Wyandottes are the best laying bantams we’ve ever had. They started laying before 5 months of age and we get six eggs daily. I have also gotten a double yolked egg which I have never had from any bantam egg. Ordered 8 straight run and got 7 female and 1 male.They are the sweetest bunch of birds I ever had. All the birds get along so well.

  6. Rachel

    Great bantams!

    Bantam wyandottes make a great little backyard flock!! The hens are good layers and our little male is one of the friendliest we’ve ever had. Can’t wait to get some of the black variety! Gorgeous little birds!!

    Customer Satisfaction

    Recently, I received an order of chicks that I had called in. They arrived the next day! It was so good to see that all strong and healthy. They will be a week old tomorrow. All is going well. I live so far North in New York state that when shipments take 3 or 4 days the birds do not do well. I hope that this speed can be used again when I order. Thank you for healthy birds and getting them here by next day.
