[therealsilkiechick]

nope ya both got porcelain booted bantams. porcelain and white belgian d'uccles are in the last 2 pics. on my site i have pics of some of my porcelain and golden neck belgian d'uccles if you'd like to see more pics. belgians have beards and muffs, no waddles ever on that breed.

cara would love to get some eggs for them closer to spring to add another line to mine. please put me on your list and let me know when ya have them available. they are gorgous!!

No. You're female. That would make you a d'Aunt...

Sorry.. sorry.. early in the morning. not enough sleep or caffeine. I couldn't resist..

Beautiful bird! My vote goes for porc. booted bantam. Adorable little guy!

Sure realsilkie, i'll let you know when they start laying.

The white birds in my pictures are bantam Sultans, just in case I confuse this post any further LOL

 

[therealsilkiechick]

lol, i wasn't paying attention ur right they are sultans. that's the last time i post while someone is talking to me! i'd love eggies from them too later if ya have them also.

silkie

Yes Bantymum and King's birds are booted bantams, which pretty much are d'uccles but non bearded. porcelain is the color, where the base is straw colored, with blue rights around white tips of the feathers, the tail is blue. its just the mille fleur coloring but diluted with the lavender gene.

Whatever he is, he sure is pretty! I don't have any experience with that kind of bird, so I am leaving it up to the experts!

Thanks for the clarification on mine. My mom and I have been arguing on the breed ever since I got them. Of course I was right, but I always am!LOL

Quote:
The term booted bantam is NOT a specific breed. Booted means feather footed, & bantam of course means miniature chicken. A silkie can be referred to as being a booted bantam whether it is bearded or not. I hope that clears it up for you.

I do believe the bird in question is a D'Uccle tho.

If you mate him with the Mille Fleur females in your picture you'll get some Milles and some Porcelains.
And yes, he's a Booted not a d'Uccle. [I'm an APA judge-we're supposed to know these things :-]

 

[SloCrevs]

He is not a D'uccle because he does not have a beard. He is technically a booted. It's a common misconseption.
