We adopted these chickens from a person who lost their spouse. The birds were hers and she showed the rooster we know for sure..we have been unable to find out what variety of bantams they are. I will post the best pics I have so far.

Thanks smile.png

Top two pictures are of Mottled Japanese.

The next two and the bottom pictures look like some kind of crosses maybe Mille Fluer d'Uccle and Japanese mixed.

The solid black chicken is really hard to tell.

Thanks! They are very docile and pleasant. They come running when I call them and love to be held.

They acutally look like Seramas to me or at least the picture of the last one does and the first picture of the cock looks like a Serama. If the last one was a duccle cross it would have feather legs.

Post in the serama thread! The angle of the wings and his carriage make me think he is serama and no dbout the last hen is, She's a cuttie.
