Are they what we call Japanese Bantams. If they are, then I know they produce birds with either long or short legged. You are supposed to breed short legged to short legged, but there is a lethal gene so a percentage of dead in shell. There is also a breed club in Britain with a good website. They shuffle along the ground.
