Does any body know what breeds these chickens and bantams are?

Ok sorry. One thing though. Blue.barred does.not exist. Only barred so that is incorrect. The millefleur is right. They are fairly common but it is just non standardised.

Blue-barred is hard to come by, but I assure you they exist. My blue cochin and my barred rooster spit out some beautiful colours.

I was hoping to breed some of the bantams but don't know what sort of cockerel to get, does anyone have any suggestions ?
Many thanks for all the replies

if you can get a cockerel that looks like the first 2 cochins that would be the best for those 2. a black can be used with the splash as well as blue o another splash. with the millie i would use another milli. but if you just want one go with a black cochin most of the offsping will be black but you can back breed them.

Blue barred does exist - uncommon and hard to come by, but it does exist. The four bantams pictured are beautiful birds.

They dont exist in the uk. Are they standardised?
