I have pictures of the 2 blue girls, I can get a pic of the other tomorrow if you think you might be interested...just let me know

Shipping would probably be about $60 with the box.

Your blues are very pretty Shelly but I am really interested in a nice black pullet if anyone has any.

I have a few hens that have larger combs.Pullets can grow a fairly good comb quickly.In a lot of the OEGB though you can sex them by the color.Being purebred of course.

I suppose at 2 months if you had a pullet with a comb that big you'd have a weird eogb. But for showing purposes my full adults hens half like half of that or less.

This bbred is 1.5 years old when picture was taken

My Opals

Heres one of the pullets here with a larger comb:12 weeks and 6 mos Full OEGB but crossed within varieties.She came out of some early eggs before I picked everyone up and seperated for breeding.I figured I'd put them in the bator for the heck of it and see if any were fertile and what would come out.She was one of 3 eggs that took.

I just got a black oegb hen, can anyone tell me about them? She seems pretty aggressive towards my other hens. I put her in with a d'anver hen and a dark brahma bantam. She immediately started fighting AND winning. Is it just because of the space? Or move? It is a 3 or 4 square foot pen....... I'll put some pics up soon. She is actually REALLY small compared to the other oegbs at the show. I'm just worried that she might hurt th others. Thanks, Sam.

Black OEGB tend to be a lil more on the aggressive side.It has never really been figured out.Maybe just a bad gene...lol...

Old english are supposed to be somewhat aggressive, probably just establishing the pecking order.
I've got a new trio of blues, the hens are McDaniels line. Don't know what the cock is. Will get pics as soon as I remember to take my camera outside with me.

Whiskey Bay, those are some pretty nice looking birds! Are they hatchery or breeding stock?
