Looks like a wheaten OEGB pair.

Thanks! I have looked at the standards but still can't tell the two breeds apart with certainty.

Old English Game. The leg color is the key difference (yes there are others but they are minor). Variety is wheaten, but they're on the darker side of that coloration (particularly the female), the males type is pretty nice though I like how it's balanced and doesn't have the huge tail that some have.

Thanks We haven't thought about showing so we didn't dub the comb.

We thought he was a BB Red. There are so many color varieties in this breed. She lays about 3-4 eggs per week, and several eggs are currently under my broody hen

Well, guess he could be, the female is wheaten and just assumed they were the same.  The color pattern on the male is identical between wheaten and black breasted red, with the wheaten ideally being a lighter red.  The actual gene is different and obviously the females are drastically different patterns but the males create quite a bit of confusion amongst newer folk.  (This happens in the Asils and Shamos as well.)

Edit: to correct a stupid mistake. Wheaten males are lighter than BBR

Dubbed wheaten

A dubbed BB Red

So I now think that he is a BB red while she is a wheaten.
