Hello! and welcome to the OEGB thread.

[Urucubaca]

Here is a trio I have acquired. Does anyone have the SOP (any country) for the comb colour? I can't find any information on the comb colour.

A trio is usually 3 birds not 2. The ones pictured look more like Modern Game bantams than Old English Game bantams. They appear to be of the Birchen variety & if so a dark purple comb is appropriate.

The two females are the same.

The picture is a bad representation of their body structure. It is very OEGB-like normally.

Their legs are too short for Modern Game.

hard to see their leg length in the tall grass.
I'm not used to seeing whip-tails on OEGB females. That's not how we breed them here. Female is also very long backed for an OE. I don't know what your Standard calls for but in the US they would b very poor EGBs.

Oh no, she isn't like how the photo represents. She's getting up from sun bathing.

I used the photo to represent the colours.


She has a much shorter back, beautiful tail for the standard, as does he.

I know the Brits, and Eu raise their OE to different standard in regard to tail and body structure. For Birchen you have the best colored male comb and face I have seen to date from anywhere. I would love to have the genetics for that comb color in my Birchens here in the US however feel that it would take far too long to get back to a competitive body structure here.
Beautiful Birds, you are on the right path.

He does have a good body structure, it's just that this is not a good photo representation of the body. Only for the colours.

We're Australian, so different SOP yet again.

The entire trio do have good carriage, and I'd show them, if only I could come to dubbing his beautiful comb. Seems like a crime. I will be dubbing his offspring though.

They were sun bathing, and I startled them as I tried to take a photo. Trust me, he has good carriage. Not the best, but good.

By this weekend, this hen will be mine.

Champion bird!

Again, here in the US she wouldn't be. Much too long in the back & pinched in the tail.
