∙ 13y agoBantams are small chickens kept as pets who lay tiny eggs.
There are about 300 breeds of bantams, most of which are available in many colour varieties (e.g. 20+ colours of Wyandotte bantams), so that makes the total up to far to many for anyone to list here. Be aware that many are only bred in their country of origin, so, for example, you're unlikely to find any Pictave bantams outside France.

∙ 10y agoAn Easter Egger is not a breed. It is a group of chickens who have the "blue egg" gene, so they are named after their ability to produce multiple colors of eggs. The founding stock came primarily from Chile. The mature weight of the bantam type is 30 ounces for the male and 26 ounces for the female.
Since Easter Egger bantams are raised by chicken fanciers in home flocks, the chickens live quiet lives with food and water provided by their owners who live around the world.
