@Yard Farmer I wanted to share what my little Fawn x Porcelain OEGB hen ended up looking like. View attachment 3914420

Kinda looks like silver quail? Very pretty!

That's quite the attractive color!

Thanks

Wow, she's stunning!
How much? JKJK

Thanks for sharing.

I may be able to ship u some some time in the future when I get them to breed true if you want.

That’s what someone told me a couple years ago when I asked about my 4 mixed bantam hens that look literally just like her. I looked a picture of silver quail and the color and pattern are similar but different. I plan to get them to breed true at some point.

So I counted the chicks I got out of the OEGB egg set and it was six! Five females and two males! One of the males is I think S/s+ golden the other is silver. My females are one bbr, one silver, one splash bested red and one blue bested red.

Ill get some pictures later today! They are so tiny and bold!

Thay are so tiny now days! Back in the late 80s and early 90s when I was in Jr high and high school I feel they where a bit bigger than now.

These little ones were about 1/2 the size of my bantam cochin. And the roosters crow he couldnt crow fully. I expected them to be a bit bigger.

I wasn’t alive in the 80s but my fawn, lavender and porcelain hens much larger than my silver duck hen. All 4 are hatchery stock but my little Chipmunk (silver) is so tiny compared to them. I have noticed that show OEGBs are a lot smaller.
Edit: my hatchery stock fawn boy is also much larger than my home bred blue boy.
