[Ducks-R-Us]

My Black Breasted Red Old English Game pair doesnt have like the mottled look on his chest so the hen is a "BBR OEGB"im not sure about the rooster looks almost alike but just wondering about the chest? WOW you got them for 50 CENT!

are you kidding me!?

Update: well not that i look at it my hen doesnt really look like that

Heres my purebred Black Brested Old English Game Bantams

ANYWAY THERE VERY PRETTY!

Yes, a whole 50 cents each - there were three, the other is a pure white hen about the same size. They have been laying eggs about every other day since the day I brought them home. I hatched out a few chicks but the night I brought them home I put them in a pen with a black silkie and wouldn't you know it, he bred the brown hen, so I have a few x's and one the looks like it's pure.

They're crosses of old english, probably BBreds but could have been a different variety as well, maybe even wheaten. Hard to say.

Wow, 50 cents! That's incredible! You sure got a great deal!

What kind of comb does the rooster have? It doesn't look like a single comb like a OEGB would have.

low price and sold because they don't meet the standard. Still, 50 cents for a grown pair is an amazing price.

Many OEGB roosters are dubbed, as it is a show requirement. And very pretty birds. I feel sorry for the owner who only got 50 cents for them, but auctions are risky. Last time I went to an auction I saw boxes of RIR chicks go for 15 cents each, what a dreadful experiance for that breeder.
