Good looking hen, but not OEG. OEG don't have yellow legs unless you are in the UK. Another issue is she appears to be pea comb. Odds are she a American Game.

Not a Dutch, she is either pea or rose combed. OE can have white earlobes, but they shouldn't. She looks to be a large fowl, mildly white earlobes/pea comb.. Odds are, like the first, I'd say she is probably American Game (or a cross thereof). People commonly confuse the two breeds, so if you were sold one as a Old English Game, I doubt it was on purpose. Most people who don't know game breeds will automatically call anything that looks like a game "Old English" because it is the most commonly heard of..
God bless,

Fourth generation poultry breeder focusing on Kraienköppe- the breed that won my heart and replaced all others on my farm.
