We bought the Splashed Rosecomb Bantams this year and are very please with the purchase !!!!!! They arrived in great condition and even had a couple extras added to our small order Thanks Much !!!!!! I was concerned that we may not get enough hen chicks as it was Straight Run…..we got 5 hens and 5 roos not bad at all. The colors are beautiful they are really lovely chickens would recommend that if you are thinking about a nice Bantam this breed is really special !!!!!!

very pretty bantam
The splash bantam is a nice small size and the color, pale powder blue with dark gray splash and bright red comb, is beautiful !! Easy to feed and keep, however outside areas must be covered with over head fencing as they are active flyers. I really enjoy this bantam.

Chicks arrived safely!
Just a note to let you know that all is well with my order. I was impressed with the packaging that you had the chicks in. It was very secure and the “nest” kept them well protected from bumps and the cold. This was my first time ordering any type of animal through the mail and I admit I had concerns about this, especially since my order was all bantam chicks. But all peeps were healthy and alert and adjusted to the brooder no problems. Also since this is my first try at chickens I appreciated the care sheet that came with the birds. I would definitely recommend your hatchery to anyone interested in poultry. You handled my small order promptly and exactly as stated on your website.
