If you have a small back garden or fancy trying a different kind of poultry, then Bantams can be an interesting option. Bantams are smaller birds than the large fowl.
Some are naturally occurring bantams, such as Pekins and Sebrights, for which there are no counterparts amongst large fowl. Others are miniaturised or bred-down versions of large fowl. They all have their breed clubs and there are sets of Standards for them.
