Guess the Breed! Bantam Edition

Mystery Breed #2

This one is a little harder!

Origin: "Brought to Holland in the 17th century from South China or Burma. E.C Aldrich, Hyde Park, Massachusetts, was breeding them in 1836."
American Status: Common (I don't agree with this. They are hard to find nowadays)
Weight: Cock-26 oz, Hen-22 oz
Comb: Single
Legs: Feathered
Disqualifications: "Any indications of beard or muffs - Absence of wattles or ear lobes - Absence of vulture hocks"
Accepted Colors: Black, Blue, Buff, Golden Neck, Gray, Mille Fleur, Mottled, Porcelain, Self Blue, White.

Well I think I know what this breed is, only because I just ID'd one without a beard. I'll wait for others to guess, though.

I am 95% sure I know what it is but I did google bantam breed names to see if anything jogged my memory (which it did)

Spoiler: I did google names, but didn’t look at pictures

Booted bantam?

 

[JacinLarkwell]

That's correct! The mystery breed is a Leghorn Bantam!

They come in barred amd Mille fleur?

 

[RossAcres]

the bantams aren’t miniaturized versions of the LF Cochins.

Bantam Cochins are smaller versions of LF Cochins. They aren't true bantams (like call ducks). True bantams have no LF counterpart.

Yes!

That's correct! Booted bantam is the mystery breed #2.

Bantam Cochins are smaller versions of LF Cochins. They aren't true bantams (like call ducks). True bantams have no LF counterpart.

Pekin bantams and Cochin bantams are the same thing. In a lot of places it is agreed that they are true bantams with no large fowl counterparts

They are called Pekin bantams in other countries, but in the US we call them Cochins (LF and Bantam). They are the same breed, different sizes.
