Hello! and welcome to the OEGB thread.

[dezziy]

here is the picture of him .... see how its all shiny...... the other roo i have does not have this its just red was wondering why this is

 

[dezziy]

Sorry, he is a crele.

what does that mean and why did you say sorry?

i think its just a touch of white showing through. his comb looks good so i think hes fine, if anything he may be just a touch dehydrated. if you are breeding for show, i would watch the chicks close for the same thing. if your just breeding for pets, or not breeding at all; i cant see any problems. there is a chance it will get more red - if so thats great.

i have some here with white in their earlobes. its a common problem in the breed for show breeders.

Thank you ! His comb always is changing color in that spot about 15 mins before that picture it was all red then it changed to that color hehe .... i dont breed for show im about to get the 4 girls i really love this breed

Not an Old English, no varieties of OEGB have yellow legs. I'd guess its an American Game bantam, not familiar with their varieties though.
