Hi,
I got these chickens in a mixed bunch of adult bantams.Seems they are one of 2 breeds.The other breed ended up being black breasted red bantam game birds but these look a little diffrent and have light fuzz down the legs.They are tiny chickens and they are the best layers i have in the barn.They do all look uniform tho thats why i think they are a diffrent breed rather than mixed breeds.
more pictures.
last pic with the roo in it also
Nice looking girls (and guy). Some of the best layers are cross-breds like comets and production reds. They look quite uniform. I'm sure somebody will be able to offer suggestions. I've never had any opportunity to study the mixes.
Well he thr roo looks much like a black/copper, or wheaten marans. The hen look much like a minorca, at least their build and combs do, Not sure about the colors, which leads me to think they are a cross minorca/andalusian. Or something of that nature. Just a guess ok...LOL Are they docile, friendly, flighty or what? That would help to identify. Hope you enjoy them. Haystack
At first I thought they looked like Dutch Bantam....but DB don't have feathered shanks. I think they probably are a cross...but a single one.
Do they have four toes? There are several Bantam breeds with feathered legs...but usually the feathering is much greater and includes their feet. They might also be bantams of some standard breed.
They are very sweet and docile not at all flighty.They lay a white to light cream egg.its the size of a small egg from the grocery store.They are probly the best layers i have out there they will lay almost year round just taking a break for a few weeks mabie 2 times a year.
The minorcas are a chalky white egg layer. The floppy combs and build is what makes me think minorca family of some sort.
