This is Calliope, a hen (I hope) that I bought to keep my OEGB, Amoeba, company. She is a little bigger and wider than Amoeba and has some slight feathering on her feet. The person who brought her listed the whole group as "Game Chickens" and I did see some obvious OEGBs in there.
What kind of bantam?

Looks like an OEGB mix, at least I don't recognize the variety. Some chickens have light leg-feathering, not as a breed characteristic, but a defect (called "stubs"). Usually because in their past they were crossbred with another feathered-legged breed.

Old English Game mix most likely (since Old English Game shouldn't have small feathers on the legs, and I don't think she is a recognized color variety).
Old English Game mix.
Then it is agreed.
Wait! But what about a Vorwerk Mix???? Except for the red earlobes but those could be from the crossbreeding.

A little too small and rare to be a Vorwerk cross.
Here's a better pic of her.
