Game Bantams
Game Bantams are diminutive representations of the
Exhibition Games. The color of plumage markings and
shape must correspond with that of the Game which
bears its name, the diminutive size being the only
distinguishing feature between the two. The cocks
average 22 ounces (624 g) in weight, the hens 20
ounces (567 g). The Malay Bantams average 2 ounces
(57 g) heavier.
