Right-Banties were very aggressive which is why most country folk kept them around. Snakes were known to get into a hen house and eat the eggs, but not if Banties were around.

Lee,
Actually the chickens known as Bantie/Banry are a particular breed of chicken. The rooster of the bunch is pretty agressive - thus the saying "mad as a banty rooster". You're from OK also so probably have heard that expression.
In a variation of everyone's comments - I had only heard "bitty" used as "old bitty" meaning a little, old lady who was either "a mean old bitty" or "a nosey old bitty". But "itty bitty" sounds right for a small person or child.

Little chickens were called banties, at full growth they weighed about a pound on the foot, they would dress-out to about a half pound. A lot of them had feathers on their feet.
Anything that was said to be "itty bitty" was a tad smaller than small.
