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.[1] It is among the most endangered chicken breeds in Belgium, and in 2010 its conservation status was classed as "critical". It is a true bantam, with no large counterpart. Cocks weigh 700–800 grams, and hens 550–650 g.[1]
The Barbu d'Everberg is listed as a breed by the Entente Européenne.[2] In Britain and in the Netherlands it is considered a variant of the Barbu d'Uccle rather than a separate breed.[3][4]
