"Assorted Bantam" or OEGB?

[Henhouse Harlot]

I think this is an Old English Game Bantam, I got it from the Coastal Assorted Bantams bin! Any ideas?

Thank you!! My child named the chick "Button", which suits her perfectly!

You’re welcome! Yes cute as a button

If you have any more good information about OEGB's, I'd love to learn more! This is a very new breed for me, I'm surprised at how easy this one was to tame!

OEGB have more colours than any other breed. Sadly, shows expect the cockerels 9 months and up to be dubbed but I won’t ever do that to mine. Not that I’m allowed to have roosters anyway

I have Crele OEGB’s, and they are an auto-sexing variety. Cockerels are gray with very light stripes down the back, and pullets are brown with contrasting white stripes down the back. If your Button is a Crele (and it looks like she may be), then it is a female

Thank you so much!! I hope so!

Yes, your chicks are Old English Game Bantams! In addition to what @bantamsrmyfav and @CloverTheRabbit stated above, I have to add on my opinion: Old English Game Bantams are one of the smartest and friendliest chicken breeds!

I have a Black Breasted Red Old English Game Bantam cockerel named Jasper, and he is very friendly. He loves to learn commands as well, and his colors are amazing!

Thank you all so much!! I'm starting to get obsessed with these darling birds!
