hmmm, his legs are yellow, and we got him from an auction his feathers were cut like a game cock.

i know some breeds of the game cocks, but this one i was thinking was an oegb,
should i enter him as a american game? if so what color should i put?

He's probably American game, Old english large fowl are here in the US but they're few in numbers. American games aren't recognized by the APA yet because they have so many variations (IE, families can come pea, and straight comb, yellow and white legs or green, blue, and a mixture of all depending on what is in their bloodline and how closely they're bred to breed true to that and only that etc). Not sure on the leg color standard for Large fowl old english, i know the bantams can only have white or they're impure, i would expect the large fowl to be the same.

http://feathersite.com/Poultry/Games/BRKGames.html scroll down until you see four pictures submitted by Chris from the Uk. Those are real OEG's, and some of the others maybe as well. But quite a few (maybe most) have a heavy American look to me.

Here are new pics of him.

I think he's american game shay, looks almost identical to a Radio i had.. Except he has white legs instead of yellow. You might could try entering him as a Old English and see how he does.

I see nothing about him that says OEG, but then, I'm not big on games.

If i put him in as an oegb st, what color should i put?

He is closest to a Wheaten pattern as most american games are unless they're a hatch or dark colored fowl. If he was put as a black breasted red he'd be docked for having a lemon hackle i believe (yellow/light coloration at the bottom of his hackle).
