Banty- breed help please

[bordergurl]

Hi, I was gifted this little banty who I am guessing is about 12 weeks old. She's very sweet and wants to cuddle all the time and goes fractic when I put her away at night. Any suggestions as to what breed she is? Thank you.

She looks a great deal like the Crele(color) OEGB ( old english game bantam) pullet that I got last week.

I hope she has some company her size to live with. I put mine with a Serama pullet until they are out of Quarantine, they became fast friends.

I would have to say American Gamefowl Bantam mix....pretty though! (possibly some EE stock somewhere too)

Here are some links:

Look at the BB Red hen.

I would not say OEGB because her legs are the wrong color but I am sure she is a Game hen of some mixture.

Hope the link helps!

Thanks for the link! She's definitely gamey as the hunting dogs here will all atest. They are having a hard time believing me when I tell them she is a chicken and on their "to protect" list. She hangs out with my Frizzle and holds her own with the big girls. Mind you, she can quickly fly out of reach! I have some five week old barred rock chicks who are already twice her size. We go and sit with the chicks every night while she has her frantic time. She just hasn't found her spot to roost yet at night. Just may have to get her some more bantys so she has her own kind.

Cheers

Shes really pretty. Looks similar to my OE banty, but her tail is longer. My OE is dwarfed by ducklings lol.

I saw one just like her at my county fair! But she was sorted under 'Other Clean-Legged Bantams' so I don't know what breed she was.

Well banty has found her place to roost- under my frizzie roo. No more night time franctics!

She's a gold Dutch bantam. I picked up a few at Tractor Supply a few weeks ago.

I think they're gorgeous. I was hoping for 1 roo out of the bunch, but so far, they're all looking like girls.

I dont believe she is a dutch, her earlobes are the wrong color...she is just a game hen.....
