Such a cutie- thanks for being an adoptive chicken parent! We've taken them in from shelters in the past, and they make for wonderful companions. Best of luck

I dont know what OEGB is. The other bird I have is supposed to be English Game hen, its much leaner and longer in the leg than this one, so I'll google bb old english game and see if oegb comes up

I do have to say she looks just like all the photos on the hatchery pages! My other bird is an oe game hen and she is much leaner and leggier than this one! I guess we will know when she lays an egg- it says welters lay burgendy eggs

I looked at your other thread, and your hen is not an OEGB. She has a pea comb, so she's probably an american game bantam instead.

Agree with Gray Farms....Welsummers feature yellow legs rather than pinkish-white. They also aren't usually as heavily marked in the wing/back area as lovely little pullet in question.

AH HA - you may be right. she does look like some of the welsomer in videos and some of them had lighter legs. I guess we will know when she lays an egg!

Legs look white to me. Welsummer would have yellow legs.

This hen has a single/straight comb. Not a pea comb

I was talking about the OP's other hen, which the OP said was an OEGB.
