Thank you for the compliment, these are actually bantam Andalusian Blues, a rare non-game breed. Their large sized cousins are actualy pretty rare too, but not near as rare as these lil guys.
Here's another question off the subject of video but a friend raises BB REDS BATAMS that he brought new blood for last year now the matured they have white ears and all his old stock doesn't and before he added them to his blood we was wondering if the white ears are standard in this breed or is this something else don't want to breed if something is not up to standards!
I glanced at the APA standard tonight and it does not list white earlobes as a disqualifier. Likely it is due to the males being dubbed that they don't have it listed. Red is preferred, but I do know specifically in the AGFS standard it calls for the earlobes of a hen to be dubbed if they are white. White is sometimes a sign of Dutch bantam influence, but I know it can pop up easily if not selected against. Now, if you want to have a fun little experiment next year, cross one of your silver duckwings to one of his b.b. red pullets.
Chicken Wired thanks buddy for the info I think he is going to sell off all these white ears and stick with his old stuff because they are show stoppers and there is no sence in messing up a good thing!!
We have talked about that cross for years but just have not got around to it yet QUESTION will it work the same in batams as in game chickens red over gray you get yellow colored roosters and Robin breasted grey hens Do you think it would give the same result in these batams too?!!
Technically red over gray should give you pure red pullets and the gold wing or yellowish gray stags. Breed Gray to red you'll get pure silver pullets and the same kind of off gray roosters

Disculpe soy de mexicano y me gustan los gallos pintos cómo hacer para otener un trío de sus gallos
Si te entiendo correctamente, ¿estás preguntando cómo hacer el color pinto?
He’s not asking how to breed them he’s asking how can he arrange to buy a trio of your spangles
