White Old English Bantam Chicks

Discover the enchanting world of White Old English Bantam Chicks at Valley Hatchery, where we pride ourselves on offering a diverse selection of Old English Bantam Chickens. Among this vibrant array, the White Old English Bantam stands out for its stunning beauty and charming characteristics.

Steeped in history, these birds are descendants of ancient cockfighting breeds brought to Great Britain by the Romans in the 1st century. Although cockfighting was outlawed in 1849, the Old English Game, including the White variety, transitioned to a new arena – poultry shows, where they dazzle judges with their attributes beyond fighting skills.

Recognized by the American Poultry Association’s Standard of Perfection in 1938, the White Old English Bantam has long been a favorite for both pet owners and show enthusiasts. These birds are a joy to train and require minimal space and feed, making them ideal for both rural and urban settings.

Valley Hatchery’s White Old English Bantams exhibit all the signature features of their breed. The males, known for their majestic plumage and long tail feathers, must be dubbed (comb and wattles removed) for show purposes, presenting a unique and distinguished appearance. The hens share a similar elegance and are also known for their protective motherly instincts, ensuring the well-being of their chicks.

These bantams are not only visually appealing but also practical. They are excellent foragers, effectively controlling unwanted insects and weeds in your garden. Hardy and active, they bring energy and life to any environment.

In terms of productivity, expect around 100 small brown eggs annually from these feathered beauties. With hens weighing about 22 ounces and roosters around 24 ounces, they are perfectly sized for smaller spaces.

In summary, Valley Hatchery’s White Old English Bantam Chicks are not just a delightful sight; they are also easy to care for, great for small spaces, and ideal for those seeking a pet or show chicken with historical elegance and practical benefits.
