Breeds

[Dr. Doolittle]

I'm new to the chicken fun and am in the process of building my first coop. I'm trying to figure out the breed I want and am leaning towards Orpington and Barred Rock. Question: What is a bantam to a pullet and does each breed have them? And abbreviations are used such as OEG and OEGB. What are these?
Now I feel foolish. I should have jumped over to definitions before I asked about a bantam and pullet.

 

[Teach97]

A bantam is to a pullet as a good friend is to a super model

Not all breedings will have them in fact it can lead to incarceration

OEG - only eats grain

OEGB - only eats green beans

Hope I was of help Dr.!
