Abstract: The producing performances of Xingyi bantam of Guizhou and yellow bantam were compared and studied in the experiment. The body weights of Xingyi bantams were close to that of yellow bantams when they were 0-45 days old, the body weights of Xingyi bantams were significantly higher than that of yellow bantams(P〈0.05 )when they were 45-90 days old, the shank lengths of Xingyi bantams were extremely significantly lower than that of yellow bantams (P〈0.01)when they were 0-75 days old and the shank lengths of Xingyi bantams were lower than that of yellow bantams when they were older. These results indicated that the superior performances of Xingyi bantam were worth of further development and utilization. From the beginning of egg production to 12 months old, the average egg laying rates of Xingyi bantam and yellow bantam were 42.42 % and 52.38 %, indicating that the egg laying rate of yellow bantam was higher than that of Xingyi bantam.
