Description

Valley Hatchery is thrilled to introduce the Black Rosecomb Bantam Chicks, a breed with a rich historical tapestry and a captivating appearance. Tracing their roots back to 14th century England, these birds have been a distinguished part of the American Standard of Perfection since 1874, highlighting their longstanding appeal. The Black Rosecomb Bantam is a true representation of a bantam breed, uniquely existing without a standard-size counterpart. Their striking black feathers, shimmering with a subtle green tint, embody elegance. Complementing their sophisticated look are the distinct red rose combs, large round white earlobes, and the notable size of their tails, all setting them apart in any flock. With slate-colored legs, the hens and cockerels weigh approximately 22 and 26 ounces respectively, making them a manageable and delightful size. More than just their looks, the Black Rosecomb Bantams possess a vivacious and proud demeanor. While not aggressive, they are far from being docile, exuding a character that’s both flashy and proud. These birds are capable flyers yet adjust well to confined spaces, offering versatility to poultry enthusiasts. Despite their flair for showmanship, the Black Rosecomb Bantam is not primarily known for its egg-laying prowess, producing around 50-100 small tinted eggs annually. However, they are known to go broody, making them an excellent choice for those interested in breeding and raising chicks. Valley Hatchery proudly offers this breed in Black, Blue, and Splash varieties, catering to a diverse range of preferences. Each variety brings its own unique charm to the table, making them perfect for both exhibition and as captivating additions to your backyard flock. Embrace the opportunity to elevate your poultry collection with these stylish, unique, and spirited Black Rosecomb Bantam Chicks from Valley Hatchery. Order now and witness the blend of historical elegance and contemporary charm in these beautiful birds!
