Chicken Kitty Posted May 23, 2011 Share Posted May 23, 2011 I really hope this isn't a daft question but....are Sablepoots the same thing as Dutch Bantams? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redwing Posted May 23, 2011 Share Posted May 23, 2011 No they arent the same Sabelpoots (or Booted bantams) are a true bantam with feathery legs Dutch bantams are a clean legged very small true bantam Both are lovely but very different Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicken Kitty Posted May 23, 2011 Author Share Posted May 23, 2011 Gosh how embarrassing You can tell I have no experience! Thank you for the information Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redwing Posted May 23, 2011 Share Posted May 23, 2011 Its no problem If you have a choice between the two its a difficult choice! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicken Kitty Posted May 23, 2011 Author Share Posted May 23, 2011 There are just so many lovely breeds of bantam to choose from! Where could I find a list of recommended breeders in my area? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redwing Posted May 23, 2011 Share Posted May 23, 2011 The back of any Practical Poultry magazine has a breeders list in by county which is helpful There is a list of breeders on here I think, I will go and have a look The best bet is always word of mouth though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chicken bark Posted May 24, 2011 Share Posted May 24, 2011 I couldn't make the choice which is why I have got both Sabelpoots and Dutch Bantams (amongst an ever growing list of others). Good luck with your search. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicken Kitty Posted May 24, 2011 Author Share Posted May 24, 2011 Here I go again....(the more Bantams I see the worse it gets!!).....Can anyone tell me anything about Mulberry Blues? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redwing Posted May 24, 2011 Share Posted May 24, 2011 Mulberry Blues are the 'invention' of someone who wanted to develop a blue egg laying hybrid bantam they arent a pure breed I've never seen one but understand that they are nice little things Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
