I have no idea what breed of bantam chicken this is. Comb and feather pictures included

[reggiehaft]

please give me some idea of what this breed is. Some one told me that they thought old English game hen (bantam) but she doesn't have the right comb. Any help is appreciated.

Old english mixes can have pea combs. Can you take another pic of her whole body? My first thought tho is OEGB mix...

yeah, full body pic would help a lot

Ok, I will try she is really flighty and it a long time to catch her today, I should have taken a whole body photo. That is what a baby pea comb looks like. I am really new to this breed. I have always had cochins and barred rocks.

See how much wider the comb is and you can actually see 3 rows of bumps....On a single comb there will be only one row....

Thanks for the clarification

What about an American game bantam?




I hope these pictures are good enough because I can get closer than about 3 feet of this bird

I would say OEGB mixed roo but wait a little longer or I'm looking at the picture wrong

 

[froggiesheins]

He is a mix of probably many breeds, a true barnie..barnyard mutt. Once he is full grown and we can see how the tail/hackles and saddle feathers develop you will really be able to figure it out. OEGB mix, possible AGF or EE in that genetic soup..

So you think it's a roo, it is always picking fights. Is it true that roo take longer to feather out because he was very small and was the last to get feathers. I can't have roos here so should I wait and see or get rid of him now.
