Dutch bantam?

[agkuyk08]

That's why I'm so curious about his breed. ALL the pictures I have looked up about OEGB's, look nothing like my Rooster here. The combs are completely different, and none have the white lobes that mine have. I got him from a local feed store, which I believe orders from Ideal Poultry. So not quite sure.

the combs look different because he is dubbed, I have seen tons of non dubbed OEGB's that have that type of comb and if you look at the face he has an OEGB look

Here is the hen that goes with him.

So then who does the dubbing? The hatchery that he came from? And why would they dub that?

And this is a Gold Dutch Bantam. Best of breed for 2013, straight from http://www.dutchbantamclub.co.uk
The head shapes are completely identical. Only real difference is comb size (mine lost because frostbite) and lobe size (mines not quite a year yet, so still young).

The owner of the bird dubs them after 4 months, and I understand what you are saying, seeing the hen, she is a dutch. I believe your roo is a cross

Can you explain what dubbing is?

Dubbing is when the points on the comb are removed. Its typically done on game type or fighting breeds, and for some breeds it is a requirement for showing

Ah ok thanks. Well mine wasn't dubbed then. He had points on his comb, just last them to a bit of frostbite this last winter. About 2 months ago.
