Saw some interesting chickens today - what are they?

[chris]

I think they're bantams - little fellas anyway. Real funny dudettes

[Nicos]

Black leghorns????

[OverWyreGrower]

Bantam Vorkwerks I reckon...

They look just like my Vorwerk cockerel, but teeny!!

[Scarlet]

Nah! I think they are Minorcas..

[chris]

massive floppy combs, all black bar the white spots! Funny characters, really nosey

Quite shocked to see all the chicken pens on my allotment sites aren't fox proof - some aren't even secured at the bottom!

Dutch Black maybe? Although I'm not sure we have them here, very popular in the States though.

Theyre Minorcas I think - Snadger will confirm at some point or Richmond - they've both got them.

[RichmondHens]

Either Minorca or Black Leghorn. They are very similar. The only difference is the leg colour which is yellow in leghorns and grey/black in Minorcas. Can't see from the photo which colour the legs are but that is the obvious difference.

Thanks, can't remember what colour their legs are I'll have a nose next time. Small cock in there with them, like maltester type thing - man it's one noisey boy! Must drive the local residents potty. When one crows, they all join in!
