This is my second time ordering some of these lovely little hens. Last time I only received 2 but this time I added 3 more! Unfortunately one of the older ones passed away earlier this year so I am down to 4 bantam RIR. I genuinely love this breed! They are super intuitive and friendly. They lay pretty much daily and havent gone broody like my other bantams. They seem to be hardy and have a great appetite and personality. I definitely recommend these for people who want to have bantams that also produce well!

I ordered 3 RIR Bantams along with 2 other breeds of full sized sexed hens. The bantams were the friendliest from early on. They are beautiful birds in a tiny package. At 20 weeks they have not started laying yet but they have done great with my 3 Welsummers and 3 Buff Orpingtons. They don’t back down but they aren’t bullies either, so they hold their own. Highly recommend!

Mine are still young…but are growing into beautiful birds. Purchased for my very young son as his first agricultural endeavor. Looking forward to seeing how these continue to develop, and perhaps will even plus up the flock next year.

Naturally friend females without being held particularly handled. Excellent looking birds. Hardy through hot humid summer and snowy weather. Would buy again.

Just received our order of 15 unsexed RIR banties this morning. I was worried because we’ve had unusually cold weather this spring, even had snow 2 weeks ago, but all 15 are spunky and LOUD. The little heating pad in the box was just what they needed. They all immediately starting drinking and eating, none of them seem weak or lethargic, and overall they seem friendly to humans – when I drape my hand at the bottom of the brooder, they look at it and then brush my fingers as they walk by. No startling or shying away. I’m really tickled with these chicks and hope i have enough hens in the bunch to have a self sustaining flock.

Best breed for small scale homestead
Great layers, friendly, difiently a dual purpose breed. I just can’t say enough about them. Once the hens start laying they seem to never stop.

We love them!
They are so friendly and calm. Wherever we are in the backyard they come along. Very calm and very sweet!

beautiful but still waiting for eggs
ordered 5 female (got 6).They grew up into beautiful birds,I am still waiting on eggs (they are 7 months old, and the red cochin bantams have been laying for at least 2 months).They are full of personality and readily come to us when we enter their pen.Of course we always have treats for them. Truly enjoy these delightful little birds. Thank you.

Such sweet girls!
I ordered one RIRB and received 2. They both went into the banty coop, but one went into the full size coop and has stayed there ever since. They both are sweet, running up to you and waiting to be picked up. I almost wish I would’ve orders full size.

RR bantams
This is the first year we have ordered this breed from the hatchery. They are a nice looking, beautiful mahogany feathered bantam. They were easy to work with and my 6 yr old was able to show one of the pullets with ease.

Healthly and Friendly
We got 5 females. 4 are female 1 was a male, which is not uncommon for sexed bantams. The 4 females are very friendly. All were healthy when they arrived and have grown up to be healthy. I was not sure what to expect as a breed or size, but these little ladies are bantam sized and will be a breed I keep!

love rhode island red bantams
I purchased this breed for the first time spring 2019. I wanted a flock but don’t really need the production a full size breed gives considering its just me and my husband. And surprisingly, the bantam yoke is the same size as a standard chicken’s small egg! Therefore, I feel that the Rhode Island Bantam is a more efficient bird.

itty bitty treasures
I’ve never had Rhode Island Red Bantam’s before. They arrived last February. They are healthy, curious, super super friendly, sweet and I love them to bits. Now my favorite breed of chicken by far!
