Photo from the Rare Poultry Association of a Black Bearded Thuringian.
I have come across several old posts around the web from individuals who claim to have this breed.
Is anyone currently raising this amazing breed or know of anyone who does? The numbers seemed
very low even a few years...
Bearded Mille Fleur Belgian d'Uccle Bantam?
But neither has booties "feather footed" nor black tipped feathers.
Plus this bird is a lighter shade of brown...more tan than burnt orange.
What breed/color of chicken is this?
