Those are some unusual chickens, never seen them before! What breed are they?

We call them Padua, but internationally, they're apparently known as Padovana chicken

I'll make it my second favorite breed then, after the Silkie Bantam.
We originally wanted those. But the ones a friend promised us were still too small, and then we came across these ones and we were sold :0)
We have been thinking of getting two more. Those two would be Silkie Bantams
Padovana chicken
The Padovana or Padovana dal gran ciuffo is an ancient breed of small crested and bearded chicken from the city and surrounding province of Padova, in the Veneto region of north-eastern Italy, from which it takes its name. Despite continuing discussion surrounding its true origins, it is recognised in Italy as an indigenous Italian breed.
