Hi, I'm new to BYC and I was wondering if anybody has any advise on FFA chickens. I am thinking about doing Red Pyle Old English Game Bantams.

I was also wanting to know, would it be better to hatch out the Bantams or just buy them as adults or buy them as chicks or if you guys have any suggestions for a better bantam breed to show, besides silkies. I don't hate them I just don't really want to show silkies.

The photo is not mine but that's the bantam I am talking about.

I would suggest attending a local poultry show and contacting a breeder of quality stock. Good luck in establishing your flock. They are a very attractive variety.

Welcome to Backyard Chickens. This is a great place to explore and hang out. Many here have opinions.

That sure is a pretty breed! Definitely check out local poultry clubs. You also might start a thread in our Breed Discussion forums in hopes of finding someone here that breeds these birds... https://www.backyardchickens.com/forums/general-breed-discussions-faq.14/

Best wishes in finding them!

Do you happen to know any that are in the North East part of Oklahoma? I'm having troubles finding some.
