BillH Posted August 24, 2015 Share Posted August 24, 2015 Earlier this year in the pet section of Souq Waqif in Doha I came across the most gorgeous (and tiny) chickens I have ever seen: two hens and a cockerel. One of the two hens had laid a tiny egg, which can partly be seen in the second photo below. They were truly miniature chickens, roughly half the size of the usual hybrid adult chickens I have, and very colourful. The closest breeds I have found to these on the Web are Mille Fleur Bantam and Mille Fleur D'Uccles but they do not look precisely the same as the ones I saw. Any suggestions?

jimnpaula Posted August 25, 2015 Share Posted August 25, 2015 They are very pretty! Mille Fleur is the colour, the shape of the bird looks like a booted bantam as they have feather legs. I did wonder if they were Seramas but they have clean legs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mullethunter Posted August 25, 2015 Share Posted August 25, 2015 I'd say millefleur sablepoots. I think Miller30 may have some so she may know? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mollyripkim Posted August 25, 2015 Share Posted August 25, 2015 I have a barbu d'uccles that look just like these, very small with a ruff around their face. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Dogmother Posted August 31, 2015 Share Posted August 31, 2015 Millefleur Belgians by the looks of it - very sweet little things with a lovely temperament. I once had two tiny true bantams; a white Japanese and a little lemon porcelain Dutch - they were the tiniest things ever and loads of character, but sadly not very hardy.
