What are booted bantams?

Booted Bantams are d'uccles without beards. Other than that they are practically the same

just a Tractor Supply Booted Bantam, Maybe it has some whiskers and its a Duccle. I really am not overly concerned since I do not show birds. She is about 1 year old in this picture. Her name is Ms Fluffington, she was murdered by a Raccoon shortly after this picture. Raccoon figured out how to unlock the coop... now the coop has a big even stone that I put in front of the door raccoons are not strong enough to move it. And it easier for me to lift than the locking spring was to work

Who won?

 

[Dpyskaty325]

The overall winner is Ms. Fluffington, a mille hen from compost king! I liked her spangling, and the well defined diamond shapes on her feather tips with a good proportion of black to white to slaty buff.

Honorable Mention goes to Buddy the roo who has very nice saddle feathers and a good beard.

Thanks to everyone that entered! Love to see a wonderfu breed represented by nice birds.
