Millefleur, black mottled and white varieties. The Barbu d'Uccle or Belgian d'Uccle, [7] [8] Dutch: Ukkelse Baardkriel, is a Belgian breed of bearded bantam chicken.It was first bred in the town of Uccle on the outskirts of Brussels, in central Belgium, in the early years of the twentieth century.
The lavender gene was first discovered in the Porcelain variety of Belgian Bearded d'Uccle bantams in 1972, [5] and verified in 1980. [1] Porcelain colored d'Uccle bantams were around as early as 1909, [6] [7] though the Porcelain variety was not recognized by the American Poultry Association until 1964. [8]
The Booted Bantam or Dutch Booted Bantam is a European breed of true bantam chicken.It is characterised by abundant feathering on the feet and shanks, which gives it a "booted" appearance; and by vulture hocks, long stiff downward-pointing feathers on backs of the thighs, [4]: 139 from which the Dutch name Sabelpoot ("sabre-legged") derives.

It is the only Belgian bantam breed not threatened with extinction. A census in 2005 found 1500 birds in Belgium. [2]: 56 The Barbu d'Anvers has a tail-less variant, the Barbu de Grubbe, and is the predecessor of other Belgian bantam breeds such as the Barbu d'Uccle and the Barbu d'Everberg.
This is a list of chicken breeds usually considered to be of Belgian origin. [1] [2] Some may have complex or obscure histories, so inclusion here does not necessarily imply that a breed is predominantly or exclusively from Belgium.The Campine is included here, but in Belgium is not considered to be a breed but, since 1926, to be identical to the Braekel.
The Barbu de Watermael is among the most recent of Belgian bantam breeds, but its origin is poorly documented. It was created by Antoine Dresse at the estate of La Fougères at Watermael-Boitsfort in the early years of the twentieth century, or, according to one source, in 1915.
I'd either leave the articles as is, or create a Belgian bantams article merging the other three articles, along with a summary paragraph about the bearded d'Uccle and a "Main article at..." notice pointing to the stand-alone bearded d'uccle article. The bearded d'Anvers article is nearing the length at which I'd consider stand-alone split.
