About the Mottled Pekin Bantam
The Mottled Pekin is a rich, beetle-green black with each feather tipped white, giving an even spotted effect across the bird; the white tips typically increase with each moult. Recognised in the UK standard, the contrast pattern stands out on the breed's profuse foot feathering and rounded body. Mottleds keep the Pekin's gentle, broody, pet-suited temperament.
