Mystery bantam?

[SMKirkland]

We were given a pair of bantams in the fall and I can't find the name of the breed they are. I wrote it down, but lost it

Can someone tell me?

Does it have really long legs? It kind of looks like a modern game. Does that ring a bell?

 

[Chickie'sMoma]

serama or japanese? do you have a pic of it standing on it's own? sort of helps get an idea of it's posture. thanks!

 

[SMKirkland]

His legs aren't very long and it doesn't sound familiar. It was strange name, I remember that much! I'll try to get another picture of him tomorrow.

Thanks!

Im not sure what he is, but he sure is handsome!!!

 

[SMKirkland]

I kept Googling bantams until I found pictures!!! Mille Fleur . . .but it's a certain variety of them, not the standard. He's a clean leg variety.

Mille Fleur is a colour not a breed. & that bird isn't Mille Fleur in colour. He appears to be a cross bred bantam of some sort. He may be an Old English Game Bantam but he's not a recognized colour variety.

yeah he looks like he has some huge legs... possibly a mottled modern game... or i need to see him standing upright...

maybe he's a mottled old english game bantam...

Any chance it could be a Swedish Flower Hen?

 

[LeBlackbird]

no chance at all! Swedish Flower hens are not only incredibly rare but they also are standard birds, not bantams. I'm guessing he's some sort of OEGB mix...
