What breed is this?

[Dfr06]

I was just gifted 3 Bantam chicks. I know what they are just not in English. I am really struggling on figuring it out. They are bearded. I think they might be one of the Barbu chickens but I'm not sure. Here's a Pic of the chicks and an adult pair.

yep. those are barbu d'uccle chickens

I thought so too. But barbu d'uccle are feathered feet chickens and these aren't. I'm pretty sure they are a barbu breed but cant figure which one.

maybe its a mix or the farm bred out the hairy feet trait.. idk

D'anvers have clean legs and rose combs. D'uccles have feathered legs and single combs. You've got D'anvers.

Looks like a Buff Mottled D'anver.
Not my pic, off the internet.

I think it's d'anvers too. It matches the description but I could only find a single photo from the internet of a d'anvers with similar coloring which is the one you kept. I find this very odd.

I thought it was interesting as well. That was the only picture of the Buff Mottled that I could find. Looks like you have some very rare birds on your hands!

I just found a video of a German poultry show and they labeled it yellow mottled. Surprisingly where I am they aren't that hard to find and there are quite a few breeders around. Not sure why there's not much on the internet.

I've never heard of them before. Either way, very pretty!
