Breed guide
Dutch Bantam
Also known as: Hollandse Kriel
One of the smallest true bantams, a jaunty Dutch breed in many wild-type color varieties. For a true bantam they lay well, and the hens brood dependably. Exhibitors keep them all over the world.
Keeper's notes
They fly strong, so cover the run. Single combs on birds that small want dry, draft-free housing through cold wet weather.
