Thanks!

Here are a couple more bantams from the show:
A barred white faced Spanish bantam.

And a black Langshan Tedesca (German Langshan). He scored B91
They're larger than most bantams, the roosters are 2 lb to 2 lb 10 oz (0.9 to 1.2 kg) and the hens are 1 lb 12 oz to 2 lb 7 oz. (0.8 to 1.1 kg)

I'm still working though all our photos, so I'll post some more each day. I haven't even looked at the other fowl from the show, the geese, ducks, turkeys and guineas.

All three on this page scored MB93

Here is a Basso Reno Fulva Spaviero (I think that translates as buff cuckoo Niederrheiner).

A silver black Robusta Maculata. This breed was developed in the Veneto region of Italy 50 years ago, a cross between buff Orpington and "White America". (I don't know what breed they mean by "White American", since that isn't recognized as a breed name in Italy).

And a Bantam lemon Millefiore

I haven't been able to identify these two. Any ideas?

This almost seems like a Catalan del Prat, except for how the comb sticks way out in back. (I do see a few photos online that are like that, but most of them the back of the comb is tight to the head, not hanging out. And I believe the only Catalan del Prat chickens at the show received an "insufficient" score for not conforming to standard).

No idea first.

Second looks like a Catalana.
I'm afraid many have large combs like that. I've seen worse.

Thanks, I've made corrections, I hope I've gotten them right. There were no Ameraucana's listed in the catalog, and that is a breed name that is used in Italy, so I've assumed there weren't any participating. I'm wondering there are any other names for that breed?

For that silver spangled something, I got a couple photos crossed up while uploading, I fixed it. But I'm not sure what breed that guy is.

As to Padovana, Olandese, and Polish, it gets interesting (or complex);.
The Italians differentiate two breeds, Olandese and Padovana. They think Olandese may be derived from Padovana, which in turn probably came from Poland. In the US and the UK, those two are bearded and non bearded Polish. (Olandese is beardless). It appears the French standard also considers them to be different breeds.
To make it more confusing, the Italians also list a third breed, Padovana Riccia, with the very fluffy plumage. I'm not sure if that is the same as a Frizzle. The Padovana and Padovana Ricca are considered Italian breeds, the Olandese to be a Dutch breed.

barbu d'anver look somewhat like ameraucana.

olandese (holland) are called the white crested black variety and all the other colours are called padovana (polish).

 

[chickengr]

Araucana could be correct. In some countries, Araucanas have tails.

this is tailed araucana (so called british araucana):

only the lavender ones. the one in the back is greek hooded pullet.

olandese (holland) are called the white crested black variety and all the other colours are called padovana (polish).

Thanks!
Here are some more Padovana from the show:

Silver Laced

Blue

And a bantam Frizzle. Color might be Khaki.
