Chabo Japanese Bantam Chicken Information


Chabo Chicken Character 

Picture
Bantam Chabo are such lovely little birds, they have very docile natures and make lovely pets when in the correct environment. Not suited with children as they need a delicate touch, they are happy living in a back garden set up. They are inquisitive and friendly, although a little flighty. They have drooping wings that will run along the ground so ensuring clean litter is very important. Japanese bantams are rewarding hens to keep as they are truly stunning and very tameable when in the right hands. They are cheeky and friendly and will like your company, it may take a little longer to gain their trust, but once used to you will enjoy being with you in the summer months in the garden. They love to perch so ensuring a good amount of enrichment in their aviary is essential for their wellbeing.

Chabo Chicken Suitability

Picture
The Japanese Bantam or "Chabo" is a true bantam and very delicate, they are not suited to a large outside area and will need an aviary style set up with clean fresh litter added regularly to keep their wing tips in good condition. They are predominantly a show hen and although can be kept in a back garden set up will need a warm insulated indoor area to live in during the colder months. They make lovely garden hens but are not good for children, they are a chicken enthusiasts dream, easily tames when handled regularly and with care.
​Do not mix Chabo with any hybrids or assertive bantam breeds such as Pekin Bantams or Bantam Wyandottes. They need special care and are not for the first-time chicken keeper. They make good broodies and will lay up to 160 area, tinted eggs a year.

Chabo Chicken History

Picture
The Chabo or Japanese Bantam is said to have originated from China and first introduced to Japan in the 1600's, they can first be seen depicted in traditional Japanese paintings form this era. They are very exotic to the U.K. and quite rare, although they can manage in our cool climate they will need a warm secure indoor area to live in during the winter months, this may even need to be heated if the temperature drops too much. They are a true bantam meaning there are no large breed counterparts, they are quite unique and wonderful as an exhibition bird for the chicken enthusiast. 
The word 'Chabo" translates form Japanese to mean bantam or dwarf. They are thought to have reached the UK in the 1860’s and the first Japanese Bantam Club was formed at the Crystal Palace (London) show on 12th November 1912.
