Is she an American Game Bantam?

Her legs aren't yellow like the others. They do have somewhat of a yellow tint to them, but they are more diluted, almost white, so it may just be the lighting. As of right now, her comb is virtually non-existent. We got her in March & she's the only one yet to develop one. I'll have to take a closer look to see about her ear lobes though, I've never paid attention to that. Hopefully she'll let me close enough to check them out. Like I said, she's the most aloof of them all & the last to come running when I giving them food or treats, lol! Maybe she'll be in the mood for food tonight

thats a game bird trait, flighty, shes all 100% silver duckwing old english game bantam even if she has a little bit of white thats from e hatchery stock as both of mine have a tiny bit of white on them
 
What color are her ears? And what kind of comb does she have?
Checked the lobes last night, they're white too. Alright, everyone has me convinced she's a silver duckwing OEGB. So now I need to read up on those guys too

Here are two more pics I was able to get of her last night before the goat ran her off, lol!

I agree she is an old english game bantam. I have Modern Game Bantams and they are more upright, leggier and such.

I do have to disagree with "flighty" though. My Moderns are almost annoyingly friendly. :D It is impossible for me to open their run without having one or two flying up to sit on my arms, along with my odd-colored little Polish bantam. Changing water and filling feeders is hard when you suddenly become the best place to perch in the world :D
 
She normally stnads a little more upright, she's eating & running for food in those pics though. Definitely not a leggy bird! Everything I've read abotut hem says they're flighty & not the ones to run up to you, but just like every descritption of every breed of any animal, there are always those that like to defy the stereotype. She's not a friendly girl, but not mean. She just does her ownt hing in the background while all the others are running up for their treats. When she does come up for some, if I make the slightest move, she's off again, lol! When it does come time to get some more gals, I would like to get a few more like her too.
