HELP- Unidentified Bantam hen bought @ Auction! - Page 2

post #11 of 13

She may be a Silver Ginger OEGB:  https://secuservices.com/ideal/newideal/selectproduct.aspx?qty=1&ID=SGOEB&Product=1098

 

Her color doesn't match any Japanese varieties that I could find.  Something important to remember about Japanese bantams is that they can have long legs.  The short-legged gene is the dominant autosomal lethal creeper gene (Cp), which means chicks that are homozygous for short legs (CpCp) will die in their shells before they can hatch.  So a short-legged Japanese bantam is heterozygous (Cpcp) and when bred to another short-legged Japanese bantam you will get 25% dead due to the lethal combination (CpCp), 50% short-legged chicks (Cpcp), and 25% long-legged chicks (cpcp).

We are a ranching family in the southeast Texas panhandle where we run a small commercial flock of hair sheep.  We have 10 Black Cochin bantams (3 frizzled), 5 Splash Cochin bantams, and one grumpy Black Silkie bantam hen.  Other critters on the outfit include 3 good using horses, 3 barn cats, a Cardigan Corgi, and my pet Boer/Spanish nanny goat.

I also think OEGB, because her legs are a bit too long and in the video you can see that she doesn't really carry her tail the right way.
