Lovely birds, but these are not Dutch Bantams. They do not fit a recognized color variety for the Dutch Bantam. Yes, they have blue slate legs but that doesn't make them Dutch Bantams. Several other breeds have slate legs too and not even all Dutch Bantam varieties have slate legs. The earlobes also aren't white. Dutch Bantams should have white earlobes; if they have reddish/pink ones like these birds, that is most likely a sign of Old English Game crossing.

Hatcheries do not sell pure Dutch Bantams. They sell crosses that "somewhat" look like Dutch Bantams and satisfy the needs of most backyard poultry fanciers who just want beautiful backyard bantams with slight resemblances to breeds. Often, these crosses are odd varieties, created through Old English Game mixing. Old English Game should never be mixed with Dutch Bantam, since it ruins the body type, color, and other characteristics that make Dutch Bantams, Dutch Bantams.

Your birds will make excellent pets and ornamental fowl to keep around in the backyard or farm, but they sadly are not Dutch Bantams.

Thankyou for your input. I went to their sight and don't see these colors among any of their varieties. One of the girls has white legs. The do have advertised Dutch varieties.
