The Barbu d'Everberg (Dutch: Everbergse Baardkriel), is a Belgian breed of bantam chicken.
It is a tailless variant of the Barbu d'Uccle, and was bred in about 1906 at the Château d'Everberg, at Everberg in the municipality of Kortenberg, between Brussels and Leuven.
[2] It is among the most endangered chicken breeds in Belgium,[2]: 52 and in 2010 its conservation status was classed as "critical".
Cocks weigh 700–800 grams, and hens 550–650 g.[2]: 57 The Barbu d'Everberg is listed as a breed by the Entente Européenne.
[4] In Britain and in the Netherlands it is considered a variant of the Barbu d'Uccle rather than a separate breed.
