Japanese Bantam
Sky-high tail, tiny legs
4.812 reviews
Hatching eggs are for incubation only, not for eating. Hatch rates vary and depend on incubation conditions.
Very short legs and a tall, upright tail. The short-leg gene means around a quarter of eggs won't hatch — a breed for patient enthusiasts.
