Aloha! Meet Daisy and Pepper. I believe they are Old English Game Bantam hens. They are still pretty darn small and I know they won't get much bigger. I'm just curious about their age. I was told they they were 5 months when I got them about two months ago.
I've noticed the comb on one of them...
Hey guys! I need to rehome my bantam OEGB named Smokey. This is hard for me because he's so sweet and follows me around all day. I'm having to rehome my roosters because they're starting to fight with each other.
We have been feeding him organic feed and letting him free range. He would be a...

Hi I have a Old English Game Rooster Bantam in a pen with several Hens and I have another Old English Game Bantam In a separate pen by himself, How do I introduce that lonely Rooster to the flock?
Hello chicken peeps,
I'm new to chickens (I have quail). My friend gave me some Serama x OEGB eggs, and I hatched 4 chicks. Can anyone tell me what sex they are, and the name of their colors? They are all 3 weeks old today.
I was wondering if anyone could tell me the differences in Sebright vs. Golden Laced Old English Game Bantam?
Beyond Sebrights breeding challenges with color, fertility and being highly susceptible to Marek’s disease.
Two weeks ago, I bought 3 pullets from a friend. I have them quarantined in a separate coop from my existing flock, about 20 yds away for 1 month. When I got them, I noticed they seemed to have irregular BMs. They were showing some of the signs of Coccidiosis, so I treated them with Corid. I...
Hello chicken friends! My family just got our second flock going. We have 6 pullets (2 gold sex link, 2 Columbian Wyandottes, 2 big all grey ones ?) and we picked two out of the assorted bantam bin at TSC. The employee said the ones with the heaviest eyeliner were more likely to be pullets.
I’m...
I thought I'd start a new chat thread for OEGBs (Old English Game bantams). I love chatting about these spunky little birds!
Here are a couple pictures of Enna and Finn, my Spangled OEGB pair.
I have had LF chickens for a little over a year. I added a few silkies and bantam cochin 11 months ago and other than their size, there hasn't been much difference in free ranging/keeping them. This past March I added a flock of OEGBs, Japanese Bantam, Booted Bantam, and Pyncheon chicks. They've...
Hello! I was given this hen by someone who wasn't able to take care of it any longer and I'm thinking she may be an OEGB? All I know is that she was purchased around 3 years ago at TSC. She has crossbeak as I do not plan on hatching out any of her eggs because my main focus is seramas and...
I got 6 chicks out of the TSC assorted bantam bin. One is a golden seabright and I am thinking the other 5 are OEGBs. One is solid white and the other four have similar color patterns but 2 more gray and 2 more brown. Also, one of each color has a pretty prominent comb coming in. Can anyone...
I’m thinking about starting a small breeding project. My end goal would be something with the hardiness, personality, and smarts of OEGB, but larger in size (still smaller than average large fowl), larger eggs, and less aggressive roosters. The first two chickens I got were OEGB mixed with some...
I have (among other bantams and LF) a self-blue OEGB girl who is roughly 15 weeks old, and after scouring these forums for information, I've finally given in and created this thread specifically to ask OEGB keepers for some information:
Roughly when do the pullets mature and start laying eggs...
I have an OEGB that has been less active/ alert the past 2 days. Today she is staying in one spot for the most part, her head is pulled in and she keeps closing her eyes. She doesn't show any trouble breathing (yet). She hasn't been eating much either. I am unsure what I should do. :/
