Barbu d'Everberg

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.
