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.
For quite a while, I've tossed around this idea of crossing a sebright, d'uccle, OEGB, and serama together to create the "perfect bantam mutt". The results of this cross would be exactly 1/4 sebright, 1/4 d'uccle, 1/4 OEGB, and 1/4 serama. However, until today, I had only one of the chickens...
We traded for a bunch of OEGBs last about two years ago. We wanted bantams, the fancier who was getting out of it (at least, that's how he presented himself) wanted laying hens. It worked out well for everyone.
He said that they were show quality birds. Well and good. I never plan on showing...
