Lee, banties were actually Bantam, a small type of chicken. Old
folks just said "banties". Biddies were always baby chickens,
meaning "small".

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.
