An Introduction to the Characteristics of Ornamental Pet Chickens, Japanese Chickens, and Their Eggs

The Japanese bantam is a chicken breed originating from the East, rarely weighing more than one kilogram, slightly larger than a pigeon, and often kept for ornamental purposes. In recent years, some keepers have treated Japanese bantams as pets, and walking chickens has become a trendy pastime.

Japanese bantams are omnivores. Although they are poultry, they usually do not fly high or far. The average lifespan of a Japanese bantam is five to six years; with proper care, they will live even longer. Roosters have brightly colored feathers to help them court mates, while hens are relatively quiet.

When raising Japanese bantams, is a rooster or a hen better? Roosters are bold and spirited, and their appearance is quite appealing. They crow every day; at first it feels novel, but over time it may disturb people's sleep. Hens are less conspicuous but will lay eggs after growing up, so the keeper has more eggs than they can eat. Each has its pros and cons, so it depends on the keeper's preference. (The above information is excerpted from the Liberty Times website.)

Supersimmon House Orchard currently raises more than twenty Japanese chickens. Because the flock breeds naturally, the number is still continuously increasing. Recently, more than ten baby chicks were even born. The twenty chickens just mentioned do not include the newly born chicks. Therefore, if all the baby chicks grow up smoothly into "chickens," the orchard will be extraordinarily lively.

If you wish to purchase Japanese chickens or eggs, you can inquire about prices and pre-order through the following methods:

1. On the Supersimmon House Orchard Facebook fan page, contact the orchard owner by private message.

2. Call the orchard owner Luo Yuanjun directly at: 0910441047.

For Japanese chickens, it is recommended to come to the orchard in person to choose, because each chicken's appearance differs, and chicks can also be purchased. The number of eggs is limited, so you must come in person on Saturday morning to the stall at Xingda Orchard to buy them, and be sure to pre-order three to seven days in advance!
