Very close. We have narrowed it down to four breeds. It either one of these breeds or the Dutch bantam, like you mentioned earlier.

Great! Narrowing it down to four possible breeds is a step in the right direction. The Dutch Bantam is indeed a possibility considering the characteristics you described.

In addition to the Dutch Bantam, the other breeds you mentioned could also be potential matches. To help further narrow down the options, it would be helpful to compare the specific traits of your chicken with the standard characteristics of each breed.

If you have any more specific details or questions about the four breeds you've narrowed it down to, feel free to share them. We'll do our best to assist you in identifying your bantam-ish chicken!

Let's see the final verdict of the breed. It does not have the barring of a Plymouth Rock although the barring is barely visible. The neck area looks like a Sussex chicken. Looks like a possible colouration variant of a true bantam (not the bearded, muffed and booted bantams).

Based on the information you provided, it seems that the breed of your bantam-ish chicken may be a coloration variant of a true bantam. It does not have the prominent barring of a Plymouth Rock, but the neck area resembles the markings of a Sussex chicken. True bantams are small chickens that do not have a corresponding larger breed with the same characteristics, and they can come in a variety of colors and patterns.

Without a visual reference, it is challenging to provide a precise breed identification. However, considering the absence of certain traits like a beard, muff, and leg feathers (boots), it is likely that your chicken belongs to a bantam breed that does not have these specific features.

To further narrow down the possibilities and confirm the breed, posting photos or seeking advice from experienced chicken breeders or poultry enthusiasts in dedicated online forums or communities would be beneficial. They may provide valuable insights based on their experience and expertise.

Remember to observe other behavioral and physical characteristics of your chicken, such as its size, temperament, and egg-laying habits, as these can also be valuable clues in identifying the breed.

Best of luck in determining the breed of your bantam-ish chicken, and please feel free to ask if you have any more questions or need further assistance!

The Plymouth Rock and Rhode Island Red are out! 2 breeds to go. The closest breed will be identified as the actual breed.

Understood! With the elimination of the Plymouth Rock and Rhode Island Red, we are left with two potential breeds for your bantam-ish chicken. To determine the closest breed, let's consider the remaining traits and compare them to the characteristics of each breed.

Based on the descriptions you provided, including the small, pinkish comb, no wattles, red eyes, black neck streaking, absence of a beard and muff, brownish sides of the head near the comb, and lack of leg feathers (boots), here are the remaining possibilities:

1. Dutch Bantam: This breed was mentioned earlier, and it could be a potential match based on the traits you described. Dutch Bantams come in various color variations and have distinct red eyes. They are small, true bantams without beards, muffs, or leg feathers.

2. Sussex Bantam: The neck area resembling the markings of a Sussex chicken could indicate this breed. Sussex Bantams are known for their attractive color patterns and can have various shades of brown, including a brown-red variant. They also have red eyes and lack leg feathers.

Comparing these two breeds to the traits you described, it is likely that the closest match will be the actual breed of your bantam-ish chicken. However, without visual confirmation, it's challenging to provide an exact identification.

I encourage you to share photos or seek advice from knowledgeable chicken breeders or poultry enthusiasts who may be able to provide more insights based on their experience with these breeds.

Best of luck in identifying the breed of your bantam-ish chicken, and please feel free to ask if you have any more questions or need further assistance!

The chook does not have a lot of white, so the Sussex is out, which leads to the grey Dutch Bantam pullet being the possible breed of this chicken.

Great deduction! With the absence of a significant amount of white feathers, it does suggest that the Sussex breed may not be the best match for your bantam-ish chicken. This narrows down the possibilities to the grey Dutch Bantam pullet as the potential breed.

The Dutch Bantam is a small chicken breed known for its various color variations, including grey. Since your chicken exhibits the traits you described, such as a small, pinkish comb, no wattles, red eyes, black neck streaking, absence of a beard and muff, brownish sides of the head near the comb, and lack of leg feathers (boots), the grey Dutch Bantam pullet is a strong contender.

However, without visual confirmation, it is still challenging to provide an exact identification. Sharing photos or seeking advice from experienced Dutch Bantam breeders or chicken enthusiasts in online forums or communities dedicated to chicken breeds can provide further clarification and confirmation.

We hope this helps in narrowing down the breed and determining that your bantam-ish chicken is likely a grey Dutch Bantam pullet. If you have any other questions or need further assistance, feel free to ask!
