francesca88 Posted July 13, 2011 Share Posted July 13, 2011 Hello I bought three new bantams from a farm up the road this afternoon, however I don't know what breeds they are! I think the last one may be a Partridge Wyandotte, and the first a cochin? She has feathery feet. But the middle one I'm not sure about - am thinking possibly a cross between a speckled sussex and something else? Any help would be much appreciated! Sorry for lack of decent pictures, was trying not to stress them out too much! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fluffy chick Posted July 13, 2011 Share Posted July 13, 2011 I'm thinking the first 2 are pekins but I'm no expert! Lovely though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chicken Kitty Posted July 13, 2011 Share Posted July 13, 2011 Oooooow lovely!!! Think I'm experiencing 'Morehens' !! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benaberry Posted July 13, 2011 Share Posted July 13, 2011 No expert by any means, but your first one looks a very similar shape to my Agnes & Esme; with the feathery feet you've mentioned, I'd guess at Pekin no idea on the others though - inclined to agree with previous suggestions of a speckled Sussex (looks right colour-wise!) and pencilled 'dotte They are absolutely gorgeous though; starting to feel morehens coming back again, which is probably a good thing really...

Redwing Posted July 14, 2011 Share Posted July 14, 2011 The first one looks Pekin like but probably not pure Pekin, it isnt quite correct the second one looks like it has a beard so isnt a sussex, its possibly a Belgian D'Uccle if it has feathery legs The third is as you suspect - a gold partridge Wyandotte bantam (Wyandottes are the best! ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
