Murry McMurray Hatchery has a large selection of bantam hens. You can order them in straight runs or by sex. I think the minimum order is 25. I'm sure there are other hatchery's on-line if you search the web.
I have a Bantam White Crested Black Hen for sale right now. I live in Midtown.
bantam hens
No. Regular sized roosters can mate with Bantam hens, and Bantam roosters can mate with regular sized hens. The resulting offspring will be a small to medium sized chicken.
You should never incourage a Large Fowl rooster to breed with Bantam hens. He could very seriously damage/hurt the hens, and probably kill them in the process of mating. Breeding a LF male to Bantam females can not make the egg size of the hens bigger. The hen will lay the same size egg all her life.
Not all Polish hens are bantam. Polish chickens are available in Standard and Bantam sizes. Most popular breeds of chickens are available in a bantam form. Some obvious exception to this are Jersey Giant and Brahma.
it really varies. Anywhere from 4-8 weeks. My bantam hen has cared for her 2 chicks now going on for 8 weeks.
There are many places, such as: -Local chicken keepers, farms, and farmers markets -Fairs and bird shows -Classifieds -Websites such as Craigslist, My Pet Chicken, Eggbid, and BackyardChickens Forum

A large chicken is called a standard, whereas a small chicken is a bantam.
Hens are female (girls) and roosters are male (boys).
