what kind of bantam are these? eikenburger?

[spish]

ive been offered some 'Eikenburger krielen' in exchange for some chabos...they are beautiful little bantams but ive never heard of them before..any idea what their 'english' name is?

here you can see some pictures of them via google - http://www.google.be/search?hl=nl&s...&um=1&ie=UTF-8&tbm=isch&source=og&sa=N&tab=wi

They look a lot like sebrights. Perhaps that's what they're called in Belgium or wherever that google is from. Looks like they have different varieties than the standard golden, silver and buff-laced commonly available in the US.

Google Sebrights and looks at the pictures - same comb, stance and feathering.

we have sebrights here in belgium too and although they look similar, they dont look right to be a sebright but thanks for trying

I think I found it. I had to try to find it in English.

rightpet.com :

The Eikenburger Chicken is a new breed which was created in the Netherlands in the 1970's. The Eikenburger is a bantam breed which was developed from the Sebright Bantam Chicken. The is found in single white and single black, and lack the black feather lacing found in Sebrights.

Hope that helps​

Here is one that is not in english. http://www.levendehave.nl/kennisbank/pluimvee/eikenburger-kriel

it has white earlobs and a rose comb...i know hamburgs have both and come in batanm size. also the rosecomb. i do not think it is a seabright as our seabrights here do not have the white earlobs.

I read that link, jeslewmazer, and checked out Sebrights on FeatherSite. There you can see some of the birds have white earlobes. Also, from the Google page you posted, Spish, it appears that the males have hen feathering. Sebrights have hen feathering whether they are male or female, so I think your Eikenburger breed is what the rightpet.com link said -- a new breed developed from Sebrights.

NOT A HAMBURG if you look you can see that the roo is HEN feathered ( like you would find in seabrights ) with a diferant body and without the lacing
