New to Bantams

[sjford]

I'm new to Bantams, and thought originally that it was a breed....yeah, I know better now. However, I purchased a straight run from a hatchery, but they don't tell you the breed. When I asked them after the fact, their comment was "That's the fun of determining their breed"....like, say what?

Anyway, they are adorable and I'm head over heals...but am still wondering what breed they are. I know this picture isn't the best, but hopefully some of you can give me at least a few...

The caramel one with black and white speckles could be a Mille Fleur Bearded d'Uccle (same breed as in my profile photo).

So the ones with those side cheek feathers are "bearded"? I have a black one with feathered feet and the "beard".

No, the cheek fluff is called "muffs". The beard actually looks like someone wearing a costume beard. What hatchery did you get them from? That should help you narrow down what they could have sent.

I see D'Uccles and Old English Game Bantams. More photos would be helpful!

Red looks like a d'uccle boy/cockerel, yellow/green/purple also look like d'uccles. Blue looks like a OEGB boy/cockerel.

They are adorable, regardless...I would just like to know, you know?
