The Script error: No such module "Lang". or Belgian d'Uccle,[1]Template:R/superscript[2]Template:R/superscript Template:Langx, 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. It is a true bantam, with no standard-sized large fowl counterpart, and is one of eleven Belgian true bantam breeds.

History

The Barbu d'Uccle was created by Michael Van Gelder of Uccle, Belgium, in the early years of the twentieth century,[3]Template:R/superscript with help and advice from Robert Pauwels and Louis Vander Snickt. It is thought, but not known for certain, that he cross-bred the existing Sabelpoot and Barbu d'Anvers bantam breeds. The Barbu d'Uccle was first shown in 1905.[3]Template:R/superscript[1]Template:R/superscript The first colours were millefleurs and porcelain, but black, white and cuckoo were soon added; by 1909 the breed was well established.[4]Template:R/superscript The Barbu d'Uccle was first exported to the United Kingdom in 1911.[5]Template:R/superscript The millefleur variety was added to the Standard of Perfection of the American Poultry Association in 1914.[6]Template:R/superscript From that time, partly as a consequence of the First and Second World Wars, it gradually declined. A breed society, the Club belge du Barbu d’Uccle, was formed in 1969.[4]Template:R/superscript

In the twenty-first century conservation status of the breed is listed as "critical";[7]Template:R/superscript it is nevertheless the third-most numerous true bantam breed in Belgium.[4]Template:R/superscript

Characteristics

The Barbu d'Uccle has a low posture, a full beard and a muff; the legs are heavily feathered. It has a single comb, unlike the Barbu d'Anvers, which has a rose comb.[3]Template:R/superscript

In the Netherlands the recommended weight is 700–800 g for cock birds, and about 550 g for hens,[3]Template:R/superscript while the French standard recommends average weights of 750 g and 650 g respectively.[8]Template:R/superscript The Poultry Club of Great Britain suggests a weight in the range 790–910 g for males and 680–790 g for females.[9]Template:R/superscript The American standard specifies an ideal weight of Script error: No such module "convert". for cocks, Script error: No such module "convert". for hens and cockerels, and Script error: No such module "convert". for pullets.[6]Template:R/superscript

Twenty-eight colour varieties are listed for the Barbu d'Uccle in Belgium.[4]Template:R/superscript Colours listed by the Entente Européenne include blue, blue quail, cuckoo, millefleur, porcelain, lavender, lavender quail, black, black mottled, silver quail, quail, and white.[10]Template:R/superscript The American Poultry Association lists seven varieties: black (1996), golden neck (1996), millefleur (1914), mottled (1996), porcelain (1965), self blue (1996), and white (1981).[11]Template:R/superscript
