The Barbu de Watermael is a small bantam breed from Belgium that is by our reckoning the cutest chicken we’ve ever seen.

This docile bantam combines an exceptionally rare color with an exceptionally astonishing pattern to create a one-of-a-kind Wyandotte variety.

What this tiny Swedish landrace breed lacks in size, it more than makes up for with boldness and charm. Once exceptionally rare, this breed has gained a cult following in the U.S.
