It would depend on the breed, a rare bantam show bird would bring more than say a bantam Cochin past prime layer age. It could bring as little as $3.00 for a Rhode Island Red or as high as $50.00 for a pure bred Phoenix with some egg potential left.
Miniature chickens are called Bantams. Most breeds of chicken have an associated bantam breed. Though the name of these miniature breeds may include the word bantam, a miniature chicken is not a true bantam unless it has no larger counterpart.
A large chicken is called a standard, whereas a small chicken is a bantam.
Skin colour has nothing to do with the toxicity of a chicken. The reason most store bought chickens are white is because to mass marketing. Be warned eating an old silky hen with be tough and probably not worth the effort as there isn't much meat on a bantam.
NO!!!!!!!!! IT WOULDNT BE SAFE TO GIVE ANYTHING 2-YEAR-OLD CHICKEN. OR ANY 2-YEAR-OLD FOOD!!!!!!!!!!
Bantams, just like their standard size counterparts, lay at about 5 to 6 months old. It really depends on the breed of bantam you own as to whether they are good productive layers laying daily or slow layers who will drop an egg twice a week.

i would describe her as a 60 something year old child.
16-20 weeks old
about 1 year old
Bantam roosters can start mating as early as 4-5 months old, but it is recommended to wait until they are at least 6-8 months old to ensure they are fully mature physically and mentally. Early mating may affect their growth and development negatively.
It depends what your looking for and what is available in your location. If your looking for an affectionate breed that is good with children and makes a great pet i would suggest either a handtamed Silkie Bantam, Wyandotte Bantam, Modern Game Bantam, Old English Game Bantam or Japanese Bantam. If your looking for a chicken breed to set as broody hens (to sit on eggs and get chicks) Silkie Bantams, Wyandottes and even Rhode Island Reds may be suitable (Defiantely the Silkie's though). If you are looking for a chicken to lay eggs i'd recommend the average layer hens (also known as ISA Reds/ISA Browns who are bred not to go broody so you will never get chicks and will have a continous supply of eggs), Australorps and maybe even Orpingtons.
