Hello! and welcome to the OEGB thread.

is it a DQ if they are dubbed like their larger counterparts? flat to the head?

I wouldn't say for sure a DQ, but he won't place.

Hi all I am new to OEGB, I have always admired them. When I ordered my bantam special from Ideal I knew I would get tons of them with the large variety of colors they have. Now being new to them I am sure I could have some dutch in there too, how do I tell the difference at 4 weeks of age.??

I dont know at 4 weeks, you may have to wait till they get a little older. But the biggest difference between the two breeds is that the Dutch have white ear lobes.

Thank you, I will keep a look out for the ear lobe color.

I got other breeds too. I am pretty good at determing the breeds. With the OEGB that Ideal carries there are so many different colors, which is exciting, I just want to know which one is which. If you post some pics I can help with the breeds. Golden sebright has a rose comb. Pea combs can be americauna, brahma, etc.Its so fun to track down the breeds.

OEGB males should not be dubbed "flat to the head", neither should their large fowl counterparts. Modern Games are dubbed close but Old English are dubbed somewhat higher. That said, it is neither a D/Q or a defect to dub an Old English too close. The difference in dubbing level is a matter of custom & is not stipulated in the Standard.
