Anyone know what breed this is?

Pekin Bantams are essentially Bantam Cochins. In the US we call the bantam cochins, in the UK they call them Pekings. But... those don't look like bantam cochins/pekings.

Agreed! Here in SA we have Pekins (true bantam), Cochins and Bantam Cochins but yes they don't look like any of these lol. Maybe the person she got them from just made up a name in order to sell them, who knows anymore these days, ha ha!

They look like Mille Fleur D’Uccles. Maybe she was told the wrong thing when she originally got them?

Thank you so much, what I nice guess! I googled it now and I agree with you even though I cannot see her hens face close up enough but I think this is a pretty darn good guess. Thank you so much!!

They look like Mille Fleur Dutch Booted bantams, definitely not D'Uccles as they do not have a beard and muffs and body type is not right for Cochins.

Wow, agree with the beard and muffs now that I am looking closer. This is so interesting! I'm leaning more towards your answer now so far, ha ha. This is so cool, thank you so much!!

Look more like Sabelpoots "booted bantams" to me. What country are you in?

Thanks, I Googled Sabelpoot and I also think it is similar. Maybe she got the words "Vuurpote" and "Sabelpoot" mixed up as they both sound like Afrikaans words, who knows ha ha. Thank you so much for your reply. I am in South Africa.

No problem! Also, Sabelpoot and Dutch Booted bantams are two different names for the same breed.

Oh wow this is so interesting! Here we just get Orpingtons and Australorps. It has taken me years to get hold of something different and I now also have Pekins, Silkies, Hamburghs and Leghorns. When people come to my house they cannot believe their eyes which is how I feel when you people help me out here and teach me about all these different breeds that I had never heard of before. If these ARE purebred I wonder how on earth she got them into the country, this is so fascinating!
