Breed confirmation before listing to sell

[redinator]

I have two bantams I'll be listing to sell/rehome and I want to make sure I have the correct information in the listing. They're 4.5 months old.

This one I thought was a Self Blue Old English Bantam cockerel, but the pictures I've seen of that breed, the males are one shade of grey all over. Thoughts?


This one I was told is a White Laced Red Cornish bantam pullet. After looking at a few pictures of the breed this seems to be correct, but I'm just verifying.


I'll probably give the male away, but what's a fair price to ask for on the pullet?

I think everything you are assuming in your post is correct, (female WLRC Bantam and male OEGB) except I think he might not be self blue (like you were questioning), but splash.

I think he's splash as well. And man, he is gorgeous!

As for fair price, I can't help too much there. The 3 I sold were all less than 3 months old. I sold 4, all together, for $50. For 3 cockerels and a pulet, I thought it was pretty good.

That's the one! I found the listing on cackle hatchery https://www.cacklehatchery.com/product/splash-old-english-game-bantam/. I'm glad I didn't sell him sooner with the wrong information. He's only started to get the darker dray in the last 2-3 weeks.

Now I'm thinking of getting him some girl friends, lol.

I'm hopeless

Well he already has one gf, doesn't he ?! My bantams have done really well in pairs, I'm sure that's a bit case-by-case as with LF, though (not that they ever do well in pairs, just their 'gentleness' with the ladies, is what I mean.)

I have some Cochin bantams and the WLRCB pullet, but I'm trying to downsize a bit to make room for colored egg layers.

He is the only male bantam though . . .

I think I found a nice middle ground: https://www.cacklehatchery.com/product/splash-cochin-bantam/

I was thinking of getting a Cochin bantam male to go with my Buff and Red Cochin pullets, but a few Splash Cochin Bantam pullets might pull the group together.

I really am a lost cause
