Neither have very good type so if breeding to the Standard is your goal you should keep looking. If just breeding for pets they'll be fine. They look like healthy, well cared for birds.

Again, here in the US she wouldn't be. Much too long in the back & pinched in the tail.

hard to see their leg length in the tall grass. I'm not used to seeing whip-tails on OEGB females. That's not how we breed them here. Female is also very long backed for an OE. I don't know what your Standard calls for but in the US they would b very poor EGBs.

A trio is usually 3 birds not 2. The ones pictured look more like Modern Game bantams than Old English Game bantams. They appear to be of the Birchen variety & if so a dark purple comb is appropriate.

There's no meaninful answer to this question. Aggression, like other behaviors, can vary widely from strain to strain & even bird to bird within a strain. As a general rule OEGBs aren't overly aggressive but I've seen some that were very aggressive. Among the various varieties the Blacks. in my...

Thanks for confirming that it's a bantam, however it's still not an Old English Game Bantam. Not with those legs.

I think you should look up the meaning of "exasperations". Never a good idea to use a word when you don't know it's meaning. I haven't seen where the owner of the bird said it isn't a bantam. In fact in post 3224 s/he seems to confirm that it's a bantam. Maybe your assumption is wrong?

Since it was presented in an OEGB thread I assumed it was being presented as a bantam. The standard for American Game Bantams calls for all varieties to have slate legs. Here's a philosophical question- how can a breed w/o common characteristics be a breed? I suppose the answer would depend on...

Both

I'm sure he'd be very happy. Just one question: what's a Blue Black Breasted Red look like? I won't even ask about a Lemon Chocolate & a ilvere.

Wrong leg colour-all American Game Bantams have slate legs. Type is wrong as well. hatchery Modern is probably as good an answer as any.

There's pleanty of bad information available here. Not really knowing doesn't stop people from answering questions.

Actually. a White Modern Game should have yellow legs. Check the Standard.

It is kind of leggy but the type's all wrong for a Modern. At least for a well bred Modern.

Not famiiar with either of these varieties-are you sure you have the names right

Why would you post this question on a thread devoted to Old English Game bantams/

If you are set on breeding from that male for some reason go ahead-it won't matter what females you breed him to. If you want to approach breeding OEGBs seriously there's no reason at all to use that male [not too impressed with the females either]. OEGBs are the most popular & easy to find...

Have to agree. I've never seen a Traders Row with no OEGBs for sale. game Bantams are usually the biggest class at any show & many breeders bring their extras to sell.

Your "Chocolate Mottleds" look a lot like Spangleds. How do they differ?

You could also use a Brown Red. Many people breed the 2 together. I have done so with large fowl Old english & it worked out very well. You'll get offspring of both varieties.
