Barred bantam chickens

[dekel18042]

Unfortunately I can't seem to load pictures, but I got several barred bantams from the assorted bantam bin at TSC. Any idea what they could be? Old English Game birds? Spangled? They do look like Old English, just not any color I've had before. Was able to post picture as a reply.

OK, I was able to post this. Any ideas? Yes, I know the one in front is a mille fleur d'uccle.

As far as I can see, you have 4 or 5 barred rocks. The others I don't know.

Thanks. The others I had figured out. mille fleur D'uccles (Have others of them) Red BB OE game bantams, even creole OEGB, but never saw barred bantams before.

That's great you found out what the others where.

They are barred OEGBs. I’m not sure if they are from cackle, but they are one hatchery that has them.

What color is their skin? Look at the soles of the feet. Yellow = bantam Rock. White = OEGB.

That being said, it's not uncommon to see hatchery OEGBs with yellow skin. Watch their body shape as they mature. Rocks will be more robust, OEGB will be gamey.
