Dutch Bantams are known for their small size and distinctive upright tail, which gives them a regal appearance. They typically weigh about a pound (500 grams) and stand only 6-7 inches tall.

The European Association of Poultry, Pigeon, Cage Bird, Rabbit, and Cavy Breeders recognizes more than a hundred breeds of chickens, from the Polish (shown here) to the Brabanter and the Dutch bantam.
