Edgar's Mission chicken ID

[chickenlover22345]

So I contacted the Edgar's Mission sanctuary in Australia and wanting to know what breed of chicken these bantams are. The Seramas were correct but the other 3 (most since died) were incorrect. The 4th one mostly looked like a Belgian d'Anvers or d'Uccle, but the sanctuary hasn't confirmed the breed. One was born in 2008 and died last year, I think. (see picture 2 and 4) Does anyone know what bantam breeds these 3 that the sanctuary own/owned?

The first looks like an Old English Game bantam, second and fourth like Indian Game bantam mixes, and third like a d'Uccle mix of some sort, likely d'Uccle x OEGB with possibly something else in there as well to supply the yellow skin gene.

Agreed. Although 4 I'm not 100% on

The first one appears to be an Old English Game Bantam, albeit his leg color is wrong.

The Black Bearded, & Feather legged boy. The Red Duckwing boy could possibly be an Australian Pit Game also.
These guys are both Muffed, & Unmuffed, but mostly clean legged.

They vary in Body shape, some may look more OEGB, others more like an Aseel.

The hens look similar to my Malay girl with some sort of Dwarfism, that leaves her unable to lay eggs.

Nice pic! Do you know the breed for the second one (young and old, pic 2 and 4)?

For the short girl, I'm not totally certain. I was comparing similarities with my Dwarf Malay.

Hmm... Have you contacted Edgar's Mission yet? They misidentified the chicken to be Bantam as for the other 2.

No, I haven't.
