About Us

We are bantam chicken enthusiasts from all over the world, who are passionate about documenting and sharing information about our remarkable birds. Our goal is to create a reliable and comprehensive resource for bantam breed profiles from around the world.

To achieve this, we gather information from wherever we can find it: books, magazines, breed standards, historical writings, and the collective knowledge of the bantam community in any language or part of the world. We compile and cross-reference these sources to build complete profiles that capture the essence of each breed.

The world of bantam chickens is complex and ever evolving (to say the least). There is extensive crossbreeding and development of new varieties. Many different breeds and types exist, and how they are classified varies significantly from country to country. What one standard recognizes as a distinct breed might be considered a type or variety elsewhere. This inconsistency makes it challenging to keep everything organized. That is not just for us, but also for breeders, exhibitors, and even judges who may need to apply different criteria depending on which show they are officiating.

We do our best to present accurate, well-sourced information while acknowledging that the bantam world is fluid and standards continue to evolve. We hope this site serves as a valuable reference for anyone interested in these fascinating birds.
