    It wouldnt hurt to check at some of the local shows for birds for sale.Sometimes you can find some pretty nice birds in the sale areas.It really depends on the breed you are interested in.We usually hatch around 150 to 200 chicks a year.It is alot of work but it's all worth it when you are lucky...

    Hello! and welcome to the OEGB thread.

    Quote: I would say just by looking at the few pictures probably hatchery ginger red.The color is way off for a ginger.The tail angle is too steep.It should be at 45 degrees.If you are really interested in showing gingers you should do some checking around for a reputable exhibition breeder and...

    Hello! and welcome to the OEGB thread.

    Quote: I think the wing carriage is fine.The wings appear a little short but it may just be the picture.I agree that I would like to see the tail more open and not at that steep of an angle.

    Quote: Sorry I dont know anyone with showable females for sale.We only kept 2 females out of our female lines to show last year,the rest are in the brood pen's.I wouldnt worry about the male's sickles they should be fine.The females are really tough to show anyway.Especially this time of year.

    Hello! and welcome to the OEGB thread.

    The hackle and saddle on a wheaton will be much lighter than a bb red that is the right color.This is a bb red cockerel of ours.

    I have been out today banding some birds trying to decide who will be ready in March.We are showing in Pryor Oklahoma 2 weeks before Pine Bluff so I will probably just enter the same birds.

    Quote: One of the best books I have is called (Old English Game Bantams as bred and shown in the United States)by F.P Jeffery and William Richardson.This book is full of information from breeding to standards in OE.Smiths game bird supply has these.You can also check out breed clubs like our...

    can you show with spurs removed?

    You know I really never have had anyone say what actually causes this.Sometimes if you have a cockerel that has too much tail he will come back as a first year cock bird and be about right.I believe alot of this goes back to the intense breeding that this breed has gone through over the...

    can you show with spurs removed?

    Thats usually the first thing to go.I am sure there are exceptions.We do have a bb red line that the males are at their best shown as 2 year olds.The tails on most older males usually become over spread and the main tail feathers wont overlap the way they should.Our blacks and blues though are...

    can you show with spurs removed?

    Usually thats all we get out of males.Females on the other hand can be shown sometimes up to 6 or 7 years old.
