Dutch Bantams Breed Thread

But worth more re than what he offered!!

$2 certainly is a low price. However, since she came from a hatchery and likely isn't purebred (most hatchery Dutch have Old English Game in their backgrounds), I doubt most people would pay more than $10-$15 for her.

On the other hand, his price of $80 for each of his birds is a little high, though price depends on supply/demand in an area and quality. I typically sell Dutch bantams (purebred, from Holland backgrounds) for $25 each, $50 for a pair. I probably could sell them for a little more, but don't.

I would love to find about 3 more hens and a Roo for her and she is still a beautiful bird I wouldn't trade her for anything!

Chicks are usually hatched with pale yellow/brown legs. However, the legs quickly turn slate within 6-8 weeks (in my experience).

Do Dutch pullets have a blue/green ear lobe? I have a pullet of unknown breed with blue/green ear lobes and think that she might be a Dutch.

Did you ever find out what this girl was? I have a very similar looking chicken that I'm trying to figure out.

Based on the breeds that Cackle Hatchery carries, I would have to say that she is a white faced black spanish. Her comb isn't quite as large as the ones in the pictures that they show, but otherwise she looks about right.

Not Dutch Bantam.

Is there still a Dutch breed club of some sort existing? I have a friend looking for a breeders directory. Thank you.

I'm guessing there is a breed club that still exists today, though I can't find any link to a breeder's directory. It's called The Dutch Bantam Club of Great Britain, and they seem to update their pages frequently. Here's the website: http://www.dutchbantamclub.co.uk/

Hello! I hatched some eggs that were sold to me as "light brown Dutch bantam" Can anyone confirm what the color is? Also, I have some with white/yellow shanks and some with slate what would be the appropriate color for show? I feel confused by what I've found on the internet! Not the greatest picture I can try to take a better one if needed. Thanks!
