Guess the breed-Chicken

I found mentions of them on here once or twice whilst lurking, and looked them up on Feathersite. Ever since then I have loved them - and wondered why there were not more efforts to breed these lovely birds. I hope that they don't go extinct like so many other beautiful breeds did.

Let's see if you can guess this one:

- I am one of many Dutch breeds.
- I have a single comb and white earlobes.
- I come in very few colors, but there are currently several breeding projects to change this.
- I come in Large fowl, but have a Bantam counterpart.

Who am I?

German Bantam?

I've never heard of a 'German bantam', unless that's just a broad term you're using to encompass the whole of the bantam-sized breeds originating in Germany. In that case, that wouldn't really count.

Care to elaborate?

No the German Bantam s actually a breed. It looks like the Old Dutch bantam, except it's type is a little different, it's bigger, and it's basically just found in the color Ruddy.

didn't you say it was a Dutch breed? lakenvelder?

Sorry, guys! Life decided to start happening.

Ducks and Banny hens - I will have to look into that. I have not heard of such a bantam.

Frosthazard - you are correct!
