I recently ordered Old English Game Bantams, Silkies & Easter egger bantams in the same batch. It's obviously which ones are silkies although 2 do appear to be frizzle and not silkies, but anyways, I assumed the EE's would have puffy cheeks, but none of them do so now I don't know how to tell who's who between the EE's and the OEGB's?!? I've attached some pics, there are also silkie babies mixed in, but it's obviously which ones they are if course.... Lol thanks for your help!

Old English Game Bantams have single combs and Easter Eggers have pea combs. I would also expect the Easter Egger Bantams to be a bit larger. The center chick in your 1st picture is an Easter Egger, and the Cuckoo chick and chipmunk-striped chick in the 2nd picture are Old English.
