I just wanted to say how much my son and I enjoy reading this thread! It's really the only one we religiously follow anymore! Isaac loves seeing all the pictures and getting tips on what to look for on show quality. I personally LOVE all the genetics discussions! Favorite class in college when...

Quote: Thank you both! Do you mind if I print this picture off? Makes a lot of sense seeing it specified.

Quote: Hackle and saddle are too light, Wing Bow and wing bay is nearly absent, legs are too long, and tail is too short. You could enter him in a show but results would not likely be positive. So, not to sound stupid, but my son and I are trying to follow. We understand and see what you mean...

Paris - I couldn't tell you whether he is show quality or not (because I am clueless) but Caramel is very pretty!

Here is a picture of my sons 3 OEGB hens sunbathing. The blue hen and the silver duckwing hen are the two he took to fair. The spangled stayed home. She is getting pretty old and Isaac didn't want to stress her out.

Quote: Yea, Thanks for pointing me in the right direction! No problem, I prefer to allow everyone thier own decision about joining the breed club based on goals and how they feel about the district director and officers. It makes a big difference when they reach out to you... So how is...

Quote: That is great, he is off to good start, and got his feet wet with showing. I am glad he had a good time, our local fair often has 100+ OE then a multitude of other birds last year it was 400+ birds total its great for teh kids to get warmed up for the show season. He had a lot of fun...

So my son took 2 of his hens to the county fair. There were only 5 old english there but he had the best 2! Lol! He also had the only Indian Runner ducks, the only Toulouse goose, and the only Seramas. He has lots of ribbons now! On the bright side, the judge told everyone that our county has...

Quote: He is very excited! He said "that is soo cool" and also "thank you, thank you, thank you". Now he is so excited for the show he actually is okay with school starting so that october comes sooner! Ha ha!

Quote: We were told a lot of negative things about the breed when we got our first hen and have found them to be all false. That hen, a little spangled OEGB, sits on his shoulder every night while he feeds the animals. Its absolutely hysterical! We love our other two hens as well. Very...

Quote: We are allowed to have roosters and hens. We are in farm country! I would appreciate the help in getting him started. We have been having an awful time trying to find anything w/o paying $70 for shipping and the risk in that is stressful after putting the money into it. That's why we...

Quote: Are you able to have roosters where you live or are you limiting him to hens / pullets? I have some friends headed that way I believe and maight be able to send him something for spring shows if we can set that up. Crossroads will be Oct 28, I will be able sex and send either Blue...

Hello all, My son and I are planning on attending Crossroads in October. We are looking to purchase a few SQ birds there. We are open to any varieties of OEGB's. Currently my son owns 3 OEGB hens. A blue, a spangled, and a silver duckwing. He shows 4H and would like to show more open shows...

Zaxby's2, That picture is so adorable! I am very sorry to hear that the chick died. So sad.

Looking for an Old English Game Bantam Rooster, Spangled variety for my son. We live near Canton, Ohio and I am willing to drive a bit for one. Please PM me if you have one that you are looking to sell or rehome. Thank you very much.

I am looking for someone that can help to dub my sons OEGB rooster. I originally posted in it's own thread and got great information. I am now looking for someone to maybe help me with dubbing. I have NEVER done it and do not want to screw it up. He has fair in August and two shows after...

Hello again all! I am looking for a Spangled Rooster, have two hens. If anyone has one for sale or knows of someone who may please let me know, I would really appreciate. We will be at Delmarva if anyone is showing there we could always pick the roo up. Thank you!

Quote: Absolutely beautiful!

Thank you. That's what I figured.

Quote: Thank you for replying. Should my son not show him in junior shows then? Will it be a disqualification or just some points knocked off? He is just starting showing and he is very excited. I don't think so much about winning anything but more about being part of it. You know?
