We are an elite Club which is always a step ahead but always behind you

Said the first little chick, with a wiggle and a squirm,

I wish I had a nice fat worm.

Said the second little chick, with a giggle and a squeal.

I wish I had some fine yellow meal.

Said the old mother hen, from the green cabbage patch,

If you really want it, then get out and scratch!

 

 

This website contains information, photos and illustrations relating to this lovely breed.  The Club Secretary would be happy to supply any additional information you might require, just ask.

You will find a full copy of the Australian Standards for Belgian
Bantams printed on the page marked "Descriptions"
Please note that this has now been updated by the Club and 
there have been some quite major changes made.

All the pages are updated regularly through the year and the Noticeboard is updated at least once a week - more often if 
there is something new to add

 

Antwerp (d'Anvers) Bearded Bantams

They walk like Tina Turner in a performance
They have the front of Loulou Ferrari
They have the beard from Castro
The have the body of Schwarzenegger
They are as small as Edith Piaf
They can fly just like Superman
They have the charisma of Madonna
They have the calmness of Cinderella
They exist in all the colours of 'Priscilla, queen of the desert'
Breeders have their attention, even more than the cup-final
In exhibitions there are long rows of this popular breed
It is not easy to have a perfect one, as the Standard is very strict
Not one feather can be wrong, not one spot in the ears,
not one taint of wrong leg colour is allowed.
A typical city-chicken for the covered chicken run.
