Biting my tongue here. Looked on OEGB Club site. This is an unrecognized color, however it does look like yours.
 
We're getting an egg every day from both of our hens - and the roo is pretty active with them. I'm learning how to candle and I may hatch some out soon. How long should I collect the eggs before I absolutely have to incubate them? I don't know if these have shorter "neutral" times, so I'm double-checking. I have people interested in chicks and now that they're producing pretty steadily, I'd like to be able to deliver.
 

This is my young (almost 12 weeks) boy, just found out what he was, hes going to be gorgeous when he grows up!
 
Well, Chandra (the oldest/largest of our blue OEGB hens) WAS broody - for 10 days. Naturally, before I could get an incubator delivered, she stopped brooding.

I just tossed 6 eggs.

I think I'm just going to have to incubate future clutches in the Brinsea I've got coming if we want chicks.
 
I think that a lot of these OEGB's that are in unrecognized colors come from breeders who have different colored OEGB's, but interbreed them. They may not be recognized, but they are certainly some of the prettiest colors.
 
I keep my blacks together but have a pen with brown red roo and two crele and a partridge color, these I sell as pet quality, but they do produce pretty but unexpected colors.
 
We purchased these little ones at a feed store, I was told they were hatchery chicks. I will be there tommorow and try to find out which hatchery they order from, or if they carry a mix of breeder and hatchery chicks. All of the bantams are kept together they do not sort in any way according to breed, age or anything. We picked ours with no knowledge of breed beforehand (some were cuter than others, those are the ones we chose) I now wish I would have been better prepared. I have been trying to figure out what these little guys are since we got them.
I REALLY APPRECIATE ALL THE HELP! I have one more little guy I could use advice on ,
