I LOVE every one of my bantman babys, they are beautiful and perfect, now I want a collection of bantmans from cackle 🤣🤣 can’t wait to order again, it would be awesome if they offered surprise boxes of bantman chicks.

LOVE THEM!
Japanese bantams are very sweet, docile birds. They would make great starter birds for children. I love watching them move-it’s like little boats sailing around.
