bantams
Tiny farmyard fowl
Bantams are small chickens, typically about a quarter the size of standard breeds.
Some bantam varieties are miniature versions of larger breeds; others exist only in small form.
The word extends to anything diminutive but spirited—a bantamweight boxer fights in one of the lighter weight classes.
The bantams scratched around the farmyard.
