Beautiful but dont know what

[NYREDS]

Silver Laced is not a recognized variety in Old English Game bantams. It probably is one of the several thousand "project" varieties people are working on. I'm aware that Ideal SELLS them. Even if the variety were accepted & the bird in question was an OEGB he wouldn't be "SQ", e has colour flaws for that variety.
In any event I expect he's a handsome mutt.

Thanks for the input!

This has been quite a debate on whether it's a true breed or not. You definitely sound like a reliable source glad to have your opinion on my thread

According to this breed page, Silver Laced is a newly developed color for OEG.

Yes, as I said, people are working on this variety. It is not however a variety that is recognized in either the APA or ABA Standard.

Hey, i meant to ask you about dubbing the rooster. What do you mean by that? I read about it and i only came upon info on removing the wattles and comb. What would be the point of that when it comes to showing? Thanks

Silver laced looks like a real fit.

the game breeds were originally fighting birds. They would dub and remove the combs, wattles, and earlobes (anything 'extra' on the head) so the head was clean and bald. This was done because the wattles and comb are easy to damage and bleed profusely and will blind the bird in a fight. When they started showing and competing - dubbing was the preferred 'look' of a game bird - as at the time they were still fought when they first showed these birds. To this day it is part of the standard, they must be dubbed to be able to be shown. it is part of their standard of perfection for the breed. An undubbed bird is immediately disqualified.
