Bantams are Hoover's smallest chickens, kept mostly as pets and for their tiny, charming eggs rather than heavy production. They're sold as color assortments rather than single varieties, so every order is a small surprise. Choose from Assorted Cochin, Assorted Silkie, Assorted Japanese, Assorted Old English, Assorted Sebright, Assorted Frizzle, Assorted d'Uccle, and Assorted Cornish Bantams, each a mix of colors within that variety. See hoovershatchery.com for the full current lineup and availability.

Fun fact: Eight distinct bantam varieties, all sold as color assortments, so no two chicks in the box look quite the same.
