The BB Red Azteca is a dazzling and rare color variety within the Azteca micro bantam family, captivating with its vibrant red, copper, and orange neck and wing feathers contrasted by glossy black body plumage. With their bold and upright game bantam posture, these micro birds weigh less than 1 pound even at maturity, making them among the tiniest and most visually stunning companion chickens available worldwide.

Temperament & Personality:
BB Red Azteca bantams are energetic, confident, and naturally alert—traits inherited from their ornamental and game ancestry. Despite their “cocky” appearance, these bantams are affectionate and friendly when given frequent handling and positive interaction. They become endearing pets, often perching on shoulders or excitedly foraging for insects and treats.

Egg Laying:
Hens will lay up to 100 ultra-tiny cream or white eggs per year, perfect for hobbyists, mini-deviled eggs, or educational keepsakes. Egg size is novelty small—three eggs often equal one standard! Broodiness is rare, and chicks require a safe, draft-free indoor brooder due to their diminutive size.

Appearance & Show Quality:
“BB Red” refers to the classic “Black-Breasted Red” color pattern: rich mahogany and rust tones blend into an iridescent black base, with roosters typically sporting flashier plumage than hens. Their upright carriage, small single comb, and active demeanor make them eye-catching at poultry shows and backyard displays.

Care & Suitability:
Best suited for warm to temperate climates, BB Red Aztecas thrive in aviaries or garden coops with plenty of perches and secure fencing. Their light weight allows them to fly better than large breeds, so covered runs or netting are recommended. Due to their social and alert nature, they do well with gentle children and are resilient to handling.

Fun Fact:
Their intense red, gold, and black combination mimics classic gamefowl beauty in pocket-sized form—making them the “miniature jewels” of the fancy chicken world!
