White Pekin Bantam Chicks — UNSEXED — 1–5 Days old.

These compact, docile birds grow into friendly, ornamental adults with abundant feathering and a calm temperament, ideal for small backyards, hobby flocks, and show enthusiasts.

Important care note: These chicks still require supplemental heat. Provide a heat source (brooder lamp or plate) set to about 35°C at chick level during the first week, then reduce by about 2–3°C each week until fully feathered (typically 5–6 weeks). Ensure a safe, draft-free brooder with clean bedding, fresh water, chick starter feed, and room to move away from the heat if they get too warm.
