Help with info- Belgian Bearded/ Booted d'Uccles(bantam info needed)

[kristip]

First can anyone tell me about these breeds and pluses or minuses on them? I have a neighbor who is selling some and we want to get our flock started soon.

Here is my question besides wanting to know about the breeds... Are these considerably smaller than standard birds like welsummers as we getting a few of them. Would they get along ok? How much smaller are the bantam eggs than standard?

pics of these breeds?

I am sure that your neighbor will be happy to tell you all about them, if they are a reputable breeder. Please note that d'Uccles have beards and Booted bantams do not, plus their are several varieties (colors) of each breed.. In the meantime, here are some links that may interest you:
