Bantam Ardennaise Chicken Information

Bantam Ardennaise Hen Character

Picture
The Bantam Ardennaise is a confident and cheeky little bird. They are robust for their size and will be into everything going on. They are inquisitive and smart and friendly. They fly very well and love to roost and perch up high.
They are not overly timid and will most likely not be easily hand tamed, but will be happy in your company after time and follow you about the garden wondering what you're doing. Their robust nature makes them compatible with most breeds  including larger birds and more aggressive bantams such as Pekin Bantams. 
​Perhaps not great cuddly pets for children due to their independent and aloof nature but they really make lovely and friendly back garden hens.

Bantam Ardennaise Hen Suitability

Picture
Bantam Ardennaise and busy little chickens and will be very happy free roaming in a large space and are equally suited to a back garden. They can fly very well and will fly up high when scared or agitated. If you are keeping them in a back garden they will need an enclosed run or they may fly away. 
You can also clip their wing tips to stop them flying, (See out FAQ Guide), however, this does limit their mobility in the event of a predator. 
Not known for being overly broody they are good little layers giving you up to 180 white eggs per year. They are a very pretty bird with a striking high fanned tail feather, they have featherless feet and legs so need minimal maintenance and can roam in longer grass and fields.

Bantam Ardennaise Hen History

Picture
The Ardennaise is a lovely breed of bantam chicken bred from the traditional large breed which is documented as early as the 1800's. The Bantam Variety was later created in the 1900's and believed to have been a cross breed with the well-known Leghorn. Both breeds originate from the Ardennes region of France on the Belgian border. 
The bantam variety became very popular after the 2nd World War due to its independent nature and robust attitude, they are also good, reliable layers for a small bird. They have been reared in the U.K. since then and although rare are growing in popularity with chicken keepers across the nation.
