General Description: True Bantam (400g-600g)
True bantams of great antiquity, these are without counterparts in large breeds. Very small, low built, broad and cobby with deep full breast - they are the shortest legged of all varieties. Breeding is not easy even for those with experience. They require dry conditions all year round, but small spaces are happily adapted to. Long lived and get better with age for showing purposes.
