Bantams

Bantams are miniature chickens usually about one-fourth to one-fifth the weight of their large counterparts, when such exist. Although they appear to be exact miniatures, actually they are disproportionately larger in head, wings, tail and feather size than their weight would indicate. Little is known of their origin but it is thought they may have originated in the Orient although historians do not agree.
