    OEG toenail colour

    I have a number of standard size Red/Black OEG. Some of this year's youngsters have black toenails, some have grey toenails and some have white toenails. What is the correct toenail colour for this breed?

    Blue Laced Red Old English??

    Just found your post. Here is a pic of my laced blue/red OEG cockerel. He is standard size not bantam. He's taken a while to colour up but starting to look good now. The parents had a bit of spangled Hamburg 3 or 4 generations ago. (just if you are still interested)

    OEG yellow legs

    I have just acquired four Old English Game (fowl not bantams), a common partridge variety. One cockerel and one pullet have yellow legs , the other cockerel and pullet have darker legs (sort of a dark olive or slate). Can someone tell me what is the correct colour for this variety of OEG?

    Pullets with dark purple combs

    Backyard fancier from New Zealand

I started keeping chickens around 40 years ago when I moved out to a rural area. I have had to reduce my flock and get rid of my ducks, geese, guinea fowl and pheasants as...
