About the White Pekin Bantam

The White Pekin should be a pure, snow-white throughout, free from cream or yellow tinge and from any black splashing or peppering. The clean colour throws the breed's rounded, low-stationed silhouette and abundant foot feathering into sharp relief. A long-established self colour, it retains the Pekin's gentle, pet-friendly temperament and strong broodiness.
