Purchased 4/10 from TSC as a straight run bantam. Wondering if it is an Easter Egger or if someone could help identify breed? Pullet or cockerel? Shown next to standard sized chick in last photo - super tiny! Thanks!!
Hi all,
We have two bantam chicks Im wondering if anyone might know what they are and possibly breed? They arrived at TSC on April 7 so maybe 2.5 weeks?
Our guesses were Buff Cochin and maybe Creole OEG? Hoping for two pullets 😬
thanks!
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 know I’ve posted about these chickies before but now they’re much older (3 months old) We got them out out the bantam bin at Tractor Supply and they were noticeably smaller than the other bantams in their bin. One is definitely a cockerel and the other is definitely a pullet! I was thinking...
earlier today when I walked outside I noticed our gate was wide open (16 feet wide btw), so I closed it and started trying to find my old English game bantam (stickers) and I couldn't find her anywhere, she has walked out of the gate when it was open before but has never gone past the herb...
Ok so the last couple days my oegb has been m.i.a... Ill see her for a few mins and then shes gone again and i can find her. Well she came back today and so i got her and put her in the chicken coop and latched it shut cause shes tiny and i thought maybe one of my other chickens was messing with...

So my old English bantam started laying. She’s the only bantam other than roosters and she is laying blue eggs.. I’ve looked it up and I can’t find anything on it. What could be the cause of this?
This is Lou my little crooked toe Old English Game Bantam. He/She is 15 weeks old. I have no idea how to tell the sex of this breed as this is the first I’ve had. I have no idea what the gender is and I don’t know much about the breed. If you have any info about the breed or gender please let me...

Hey everyone! When I was younger my mom and I went to a show and bought a pair of bantams. We both forget what the seller told us since it's been a few years, and I am curious to know what kind they are since they've had a few kids since moving into our coop. We started out with oegb's but...
Hi! I'm looking for advice today.
Last Thursday, a chicken was running amuck downtown in Nashville, where I work. I live in a more residential part of the city, and I have a small backyard flock of five. Animal Control caught the chicken after lots of drama (including her flying a half block...
