Sorry, no help up here. I have been asked to raise them many times but the dubbing isn't something I would be comfortable doing and then the kids would have birds that were DQ'd the next year.Does anyone in or fairly near the Sacramento area dub OEGB's? Looking to get one of my cockerels done for show.Thanks.
They look like gumdrops.
Thanks! I love the way all 37 of my chickens look together. The color and pattern variety plus the movement make them like a living art piece.
Sweet!Mr. and Mrs. Mini are parents! Both parents are a cross of OEGB and MGB.

Quote: Yes...we definitely need it! But it is keeping me from finishing the quail coop!BTW....how do you all deal with soggy ground in your pens? Last year I was able to free range my flock in the back yard and just locked them up at night Since they competely destroyed all of the grass we had anc are now confined to a good sized pen, the ground has nothing to keep it from becoming a mud pit. All the little pockets they turned into dust bathes are now puddles and the whole place is pretty slippery when I have to walk in certain areas. The secure part of the pen stays pretty dry because is has a sloped polycarbonate panel roof over it. Is there something I can put on the ground theat will help keep it from being so muddy?

Great pictures! The little one reminds me a LOT of my 4 1/2 year old Grandaughter, Sydney...
