About Japanese Bantam
The Japanese Bantam or, better known as Chabo, originated in Japan. This avian animal is quite unique, because it has a small body with short legs, so it's not wrong if this chicken is about 10 to 12 inches tall. Meanwhile, this animal has a very curved tail. Female Chabo chickens can produce 1 to 2 small eggs per week. In addition, this chicken can also fly quite well.
