Hi! Just wondered if anyone out there has Thuringian bantams ?
I've just got two and they are fabulous! Such friendly birds they just come and sit on my knee or perch on my shoulder. They are such confident birds ! Would highly recommend them as a good family breed !!

Never heard of them before, where's the piccy's then?

Hopefully this is a picture !!!

pretty

lovely. My Roberta, a bantam, doesn't like her wings being held in and prefers to sit on the hand.

They are lovely looking birds

I have a silver and gold seabright bantam

they are very friendly just like yours - never heard of Thuringian bantams

where did you get them from ?

[nerdle]

Adorable!!!   Yes - where??

[sally10]

Think I have over paid for them as they are from a fancy garden centre in lancashire however there are not many places that sell the rare breeds ! I like the polish bantams but fell in love with these and their beards !!

That are pretty birds!! Nice colours, shiny feathers. I like the 'roundness of their shape..

i have a pair of silver spangled thuringian =like the ones featured  on feather site -if u type in thuringian bearded  chickens feathersite you will see a pic of the ones i have as adults and i just love them as they are so quiet and you can literally just pick them up in your hand and i think they are rare enough and my hen is beginning to lay at the moment so fingers crossed for chicks

Hi Quail Chick,
Good to hear you have some too, where are you based ?
I really love them, so different to anything else I have, they are a dream to watch and have a really lovely chirp!
I'm tempted to get some more, or maybe hatch some.

hi  im living near thurles co tipperary in ireland and am a small time hobbyist and love rearing ornamental and unusual fowl and quail especially since my dad and only child died as i find it keeps my mind busy and i always loved fowl as i was reared on a farm with chicks  and other poultry and animals and im happiest in my wellies with a spade either mucking out with the hens or in my greenhouse and polytunnel  as i dont like shopping as i was always a home bird -happiest in my back garden

Hi Quail chick


Hi there,

Just logged on to the allotment site, not been on it for a while.
Do you have a few Thuringians?? I was wondering how noisy the cockerals are ? I know it sounds a daft question, I have had cockerals before but ended up culling them due to living in a part residential area, I wondered whether a bantam cockerel would be quieter ??

I really love my pinky and perky my Thuringians they are just adorable and so friendly.

Hope you are well ?
Hows the weather over there?
