New & Hoping Someone Out there can help me

[kgast11]

I’m new to the community, but I come from a long farming & agriculture background. I raise mainly poultry, but I’ve some experience with other animals, livestock, and exotics including fish and reptiles. I recently purchased some bantam chickens at a swap meet in Fordland MO & I was wondering if someone could help me positively identify them and help me find some more of them. They have a rosecomb, but it’s natural. The little hen I hatched this past spring hatched with a rosecomb, & both parents have a rosecomb. I think they’re Dutch bantams, but I’m not sure because of the combs. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you, & pictures are below. Hens are blue splash, and rooster is silver. Shape and carriage isn’t quite right for a rosecomb I don’t think. I’ve had those. Also don’t think they’re old English game, they have white earlobes and slate legs. They’re clean-legged, & they don’t have short stubby legs like a Japanese Bantam either (I also own those). I got them because they were different & I really liked them. Any ideas???

I'm not good with bantam breeds. All I know is your birds are gorgeous!

Pretty birds! If you post their pictures on this forum, you should get some breed input: https://www.backyardchickens.com/forums/what-breed-or-gender-is-this.15/

Thank you. I’m really hoping someone can help me positively identify them and locate some more like them. They have an amazing temperament and disposition.
