Is she an OEGB or not?

[funkychickenmom]

I have a friend that I regularly trade chicks with. Said friend had this pretty hen that my husband fell in love with so we ended up trading some cochins for her. He said that she is an OEGB but not what kind, I'm really only familiar with black breasted reds, she does look similar to my BBReds but she dosnt have the rite colors what do you guys think she maybe?

You either have a beautiful Dorking bantam... Or a beautiful old English Game.

@The Angry Hen thank you. I have never heard of Dorking bantams before but I am fairly new will look in to that further. I am trying to familiarize myself with all the breeds but there are so many lol

She has a rose comb, which neither OEG nor Dorking ought to have. She looks like a mix to me; probably some OEG in there though due to the body shape.

I was wondering about the comb myself that was throwing me off because my bb's have single combs she also has blue legs? There is no telling what she is then lol but we will love her just the same

No problem! Don't worry, I'm still learning about so many breeds!! I have a standard dorking cross myself. If yours has Dorking... They are excellent birds.

Crossbred. Not pure bred OEG nor pure color. She is a cute lil thing.

Definitely some OEGB. Sorta kinda looks like my SDW OEGB pullets except her hackle feathers are different color.

Most of my OEFB crosses have beautiful slate blue legs. My two pure bred SWDs have yellow/tan legs.

Okay guys, what bantam breeds have rose combs? I have some crosses with rose combs and some with pea combs. I know there is a little bantam cochin in the mix (started my flock with eggs from an Amish neighbor's flock. His foundation rooster is a black OEGB. From that point on it's anybody's guess what else.

I agree. She's a cutie patootie. No wonder your husband fell in love with her.

I would also like to know what bantam breeds have rose combs all my bantams have single except her. And the pictures don't do her much justice lol she is even prettier in the sun. It's strange I have never seen a chicken that had sweet eyes they all look like dinosaurse but she look so nice lol.
