Black Japanese Bantam

Japanese bantams, first known as “Chabo”, originated in South China, which is now Vietnam, Thailand and Malaysia. The first color was red-brown with white and black birds appearing as sports from them. The breed is recognizable for their short body and legs that contrasts their large, upright tail. Black Japanese bantam chicks are primarily black with white throats, wing tips, chests and abdomens. They have single combs and clean, black and yellow feet and legs. The quill and surface of adult plumage is entirely black.
