Bantam breed suggestions?

[joymo]

Hello, does anyone have suggestions on bantam breeds with the traditional look (no beards or poufy heads) that are fluffy with clean legs? I started doing some research and feel like I am going down a never-ending rabbit hole. I figure I'd ask the experts.

I'm looking to add them to my teeny-tiny flock(2 hens) of OEGBs.

Orpingtons or Wyandottes are the main, common floofy clean legged bantams I think of. There are others, over course, but none quite so floofy.

I’m at a show, so allow me to demonstrate:
Wyandottes:

Wow, so globose!
And…
Hmm, I can’t seem to find any Orpington bantams
May I substitute a Sussex?

And I found some Plymouth Rocks

Here, I dug up an old photo of an Orpington bantam

I have Speckled Sussex bantams. They are full-bodied, built like a brick with clean legs, but not sure if they're fluffy enough for you.

This gal is 13 weeks old.

They should more look like this in a couple months:

I also have Dominique bantams. Again, full-bodied, clean legs.

These are only 7 weeks old.

They should look more like this in a few months:

My Cornish bantams look fluffy if you don't investigate too closely

I'd say Wyandotte, Orpington are the best for what you're asking. Cornish bantams sort of might work as well. And then it depends on how you define floofy. Following photo of a cornish bantam is not mine, bit one pulled from the internet

And just as I was thinking, did I actually get to recommend cornish bantams before Jacin?

Nope.

Way to suggest one of the unfluffiest, unsquishiest breeds.

My Dominique bantam is actually very tight feathered, lol. When I was at a show, a boy said he liked the “skinny striped one, he looks like he’s dancing.”
