Dutch have white earlobes.

Looks to be either a Old English Game or one of the "Hatchery" Dutch. They are frequently crossed with Old English.
I am betting more on Old English though. To see pictures of actual Dutch bantams, go to my website listed below.

This is a dutch

He is neither a old english or dutch. He's too bulky in the body.. I'd expect a cross.. A production breed actually i don't know which though.


ETA: Old english look a lot like the bird above, but have red earlobes instead of white.

HenK, what color would that bird be? He is handsome!

Closest to a brassyback i think.

Quote:
He was my first "fawn silver duckwing". Still het silver hence the orange shoulders and brassy hackle and saddle.
The brown color is from the dun gene, which is one of the genes that can make chocolate color.
