I KNOW I have read this somewhere and that I'm not going insane, but what breed is supposed to look like a U on legs?!

 

My new bantam (pics this weekend hopefully) is a bit U shaped, and it jogged my memory and has been bugging me for a while now LOL

[Ain't Nobody Here]

Errrrrr, I think you're going insane .

 

Never 'eard of it .

Same here! Never heard of a U shaped hen. You must have dreamt it.

Do you mean very upright in statue so with a straight up neck and straight up tail. Some are definitely more this shape than others

Yes! I was reading something on this chicken, was a pure breed, and it talked about it being a u shape in the standard. But i don't remember what breed it was. When i can post bantam pics you'll see she's very u shaped!

You mean like this

 

 

This is a Japanese Bantam.

I just googled U SHAPED CHICKEN and found it here

http://www.animalcorner.co.uk/farm/chickens/chicken_breedcs.html

 

According to that site, an orpington is U shaped.

It's just the same as the description of a good RIR being brick shaped!

 

 

I can't see it myself.

Hi there - German Langshans are characterised by their 'wine glass' chalice shape - could that be it, Croad Langshans are very U shaped!

Now i was looking at croads a few weeks ago. You may have cracked it! I will google and report back!

 

Edit. YES! That is what i was remembering. Thank you!!

You're welcome - I knew the Poultry Breeds of Great Britain book would become more than just a shopping list for me

[The Dogmother]

My little Japanese bantam is sort of U-shaped

 

 

Not a very good picture of her, but when she stands up straight, she's definitely a sort of U-shape

That's what I thought Claret I posted this picture...

I think there are quite a few, really... so many odd descriptions, the standard for light sussex and rhode islands is "brick shaped".

[pistachio]
