What chicken breed and color is this?

[AmericanDwarfChicken]

A bantam Sulmtaler or Sulmtaler mix is my guess.

Looks about correct. Do you know where to get some purebred Sulmtaler eggs? (my urge to buy more chickens is coming back..)

If you want a similar, more common breed, I would look into pyncheon bantams

I have never seen those before! They look like my D’Uccle hen

Looks like Greenfire Farms has large fowl Sulmtaler hatching eggs for sale at the moment.

There was a member here recently looking for Pyncheons and they were coming up empty, even for birds that weren't correct for the SOP. It also seems that any hatcheries that were selling them have stopped in the last couple years.

Ah, I thought that they were still showing up at tractor supply and other feed stores. Though I believe they’re still more common than Sulmtaler bantams.

In my somewhat limited research it appears they are both extremely rare here in the US. It looks like the Sulmtaler bantams are all or mostly in the UK/Europe.

I do, but my breeder friend lives in Austria, so not a real option I'm afraid.
