I swore up and down I wasn't going to raise Old English again, went to a friends to pick up some breeding pens he was tossing and...these followed me home. Not sure how that happened.

All are only three months old except for the cock bird is the bad dub job in back.

I always say I'm going to "look". And now I've got a 10yo lab mix, and those pesky OEGB... going to give hatching another try or 2, but if it doesn't work, do I do the unthinkable and return them to the shelter? I really, really wanted a cute 'gateway' chicken to raise 'n tempt people with, dagnabit.

Snapped a couple more photos of the new arrivals. Still skittish.

Hello! So, I'm not going to be breeding my OEGB... They all have the white spots, which I've discovered is a fault.

Enamel white in the earlobe is a problem, but many hens will develop a white or light tint to the earlobe when in production. If you are referring to white in the feather if its at the tips some varieties have this and it is not a fault but a desired trait for Spangled, Millie Fluer, Pearl, and Porcelain. If its not at the tips it is likely stress marks that can be brought on by many things including feed changes, heat, dry environment, illness, parasites, and feather picking.

Could be Ginger or red quill the females are very similar and the amount of pattern in the feather varies widely in both varieties.
