Barbu d'Uccle Bantam Chicken Information


Barbu d'Uccle Chicken Character 

Picture
Barbu d'Uccles are very timid and delicate little birds. They are friendly and docile and do like people but it may take a little longer to gain their trust. They are petite birds with bearded muffs under their chins and fully feathered feet. Sweet an inquisitive they will thrive in an environment with not too much competition. They are very similar to a Bantam Faverolles or a Bantam Polish, they cannot be mixed with all bantams and should be handled with care. Because of their timid nature they should never be mixed with large hybrids or Pekin Bantams.
Although they require a little more care and a calmer environment they are such rewarding little chickens and once tamed will make excellent companions.

Barbu d'Uccle Chicken Suitability

Picture
As with other delicate bantams the d'Uccle Chicken is well suited to a smaller area and would be happiest in a back garden set up. They can mix with other bantams and gentle large pure breeds but be careful mixing with more aggressive birds especially hybrid hens and Pekin bantams. You can see our breed compatibility guide for more advice. D'Uccles are timid yet inquisitive and can fly, so an enclosed run area is needed when they are not out with you in the garden. They can also be a little skittish as with the Polish hens and will fly up when frightened. They will lay up to 104 small cream/white eggs a year and are not overly broody, not suited for younger children but do make lovely pets.

Barbu d'Uccle Chicken History

Picture
Also known as Bearded Belgian Bantams the Barbu d'Uccle is a breed that originated from Belgium. Created by Michael Van Gelder of Uccle, in the early years of the twentieth century by cross breeding the Sablepoot and a local breed of bantam chicken called Barbu d'Anvers. The Barbu d'Uccle breed has now become renowned for its friendly and tameable nature. Predominantly an ornamental breed they are reared for showing and exhibition purposes, first shown in 1905.
They make lovely pets and are fantastic birds for your back-garden flock. A true bantam, with females reaching no more than 600gms as adult.
​they come in many colour variations and are not overly broody.
