The Scots Dumpy is a traditional Scottish breed of chicken. It is characterised by very short legs, so short that the body is a few centimetres from the ground; as in other breeds of creeper chicken, this chondrodystrophy is caused by a recessive lethal allele. The Dumpy has at times been known by other names, among them Bakie, Corlaigh, Crawler, Creeper and Stumpy.[8][9] There are both standard-sized and bantam Scots Dumpies.[3][10] It is one of two Scottish breeds of chicken, the other being the Scots Grey.
