Mine are the perfect bantam mutts! They're a mixture of Serama and Old English Game bantam, Serama and d'Uccle, and Serama, OEGB and d'Uccle. The d'Uccle mixes did not come out with much in the way of foot feathering. One has none (but does have the muff), the other three have just a whisp or two of feather on their feet. Oddly enough, one of the mixes has a bit of foot feathering but no muff (she has wattles).

They're perfect because they're our pets, and we raised the original five from day old chicks given to us by a friend, and then raised the other five as the second generation of our original flock.

Thank you! When I say "lethal gene" I mean like Japanese Bantams. When they breed their chicks could die because of a "lethal gene" that comes with a short legged gene.

2) What breeds have the most color in one bird that does not have feathered feet?

I mean that the bird has many colors like differing colors of hackles, saddle, wings, tails, and those other parts that have feathers.

9) What breed does not breed true color and is not hard to breed?

Serama, it doesn't breed true color but it is hard to breed because of some sizes.

13) What breed is fast growing and can breed at a young age?

Fast maturer.

14) What breed is not territorial?

Does not have an area that one cannot approach into that won't get attacked.

15) What breed will not have many lethal genes?

No lethal genes like above.
