Hypothetical Question:
I have Single Barred & Double Barred Males, as well as Barred Females.
Crossed over Crele Males & Crele Females.
Can I cross them, then back cross to improve the barring on the Creles?
If so, what is the best cross to accomplish this?

I’ve been looking into getting more OEGB but there are literally no breeders in my area so I currently find myself having to travel up to the next poultry show in my state and they usually happen about 5 hours up north because the Sourhern half of Florida is mostly just city-living. I found this...
Hi all! I am currently looking for bantam females of any age, and I'm looking for specific breeds: Orpington, OEGB, and Dutch, and maybe other types that are clean-legged and non-crested. I loooove the color mille fleur, but it has proven difficult to find that color in OEGB's and Dutch, and I...

Hey y’all, I’m very inexperienced when it comes to breeding since all I’ve ever hatched was a clutch of Gold Duckwing OEGB’s and a clutch of Brown Red Ameraucanas. I have a handful of OEGB’s and I’m having a hard time finding a pair for my Fawn Silver Duckwing OEGB cock and I have Blue Wheaten...
I have five Sebrights and a handful of other bantams in search of new homes. My daughter got them as a 4H project but underestimated both the her time and space. We only have room for two breeds - and she currently has FIVE. It's time to downsize!

Back in May I purchased one Silver Duckwing OEGB rooster and two hens from the 'For Sale' section at a poultry show. They all came from different breeders, and I kept them in a very large dog crate with a kennel attached for a couple of months. They are currently living in a medium sized outdoor...
Today I purchased two OEGB females and I'm unsure of which colour variants they could be. I've never owned game bantams, so this is new for me. So, I was at the local poultry show, and they as always had the for sale section. I decided to purchase two OEGB hens, and the man who was selling them...
Hey guys! New to OEGB, so bear with me. I have a roughly 7 week old cockereI whose color I'm unsure about. Some background:
Late February I received a batch of straight run self blue old English game bantams from Ideal hatchery. Right away I noticed they accidentally gave me a blue OEGB chick...
So, first I'll tell you the story of how ridiculously overpriced EVERYTHING chicken related is in New Zealand. So I'll use Barred Rocks as an example, what would be considered a 'hatchery quality' chicken in the USA costs about $12.50 for an UNSEXED chick! As a general rule a SINGULAR EGG costs...
Someone brought me a number of OEGB mix cockerels. He gave me money for taking them, but I dont have the room to keep them all, nor do I have much use for mix breed roosters at this time.
Ive got seven of them, all around 3 months old. Some have straight combs, some have pea (maybe rose) combs...
Hey guys! I have 4 golden comets, two OEG silver duckwing bantams, and two barred rocks, one of which is a rooster. So, the bantams and goldens are a couple weeks older than the barred rock, they hatched on March 9th. At least two of them are laying already, as well as my bantam is starting to...
We hatched out four Self Blue Old English Game bantams one week ago.
And took them out of the plastic tub because it was hard to clean.
So I made a new brooder for my little chicks to hopefully help with the poo cleanup!
