what are these bantams

[broodyhen2]

Just picked them up today. The seller said they were d'uccles but arent d'uccles supposed to have beards?

The female seems to be a Mille Fleur. The other one could be, but I'm not sure.

Looking at them more, I'm sure they're Mille Fleurs. "Million flower" chickens. D'Uccles are a similar breed but are a different color.

Thank you
Is Mille fleur a separate breed?

 

[Irishhenman]

they are millefleur sablepoots (also known as booted bantams), millefleur is a colour of chicken not a breed

They're just called Belgian Booted Bantams. d'Uccles have beards and muffs. d'Anvers dont have boots.
