Breed ID help?

[marinakirsten]

I have this mini rooster and 2 mini hens. they were gifted to us together and I’ve always just assumed they were Seramas, but once I started trying to research tiny chicken breeds I questioned the breed and now have no idea what they are!

they don’t seem to stand as straight up as all the seramas i’ve seen online which is the only thing that made me doubt serama. maybe OEGB? or something else?

Pictures of the 3 attached below!

I’d like to add that the pictures really are not doing justice to how small they really are. For some reason they don’t appear as tiny as they really are in the photos i don’t know why

I think they are awesome and looking at that last pic of the Roo with his tiny legs next to what looks like a full size hen, makes me appreciate his size. P.S. I am no help identifying the breed lol, I just like looking at picks of chickens

You have a pair of old English game bantam crosses and a white tailed black Japanese bantam. The rooster looks like he may have scaly leg mites.

You can use a parasite treatment like ivermectin or go the longer route of putting petroleum jelly on his legs to suffocate the mites.

I don’t know if you have to treat the coop too, there’s articles about leg mites that you can look up if you want. You can give it orally, but for mites you don’t have you, you can just put a few drops on the back of your rooster’s neck. It spreads very slowly so people usually only treat the birds who have visibly raised scales.
