OEGB bbred or a Dutch

[OEGB Beginner]

legs are white , I am wondering if it is a cross or what he is one

year old I was told !

I looks like an OEG bantam but it shouldn't have those white ear lobes. Maybe hatchery quality or a cross. Dutch bantams would have slate blue legs and a much fuller tail.

I think so, but this bird, if it is a cross, could pass on traits to his offspring that might not show up in him. If he is your only option for breeding, then I would say give it a try.

Thanks , I am new and don't want to make any more mistakes than I have to . I am just a backyard fancier and do not show or sale !

I think he is a very nice looking rooster, if he is good to his hens and not aggressive with humans, I think you should keep him.

Well then go for it! He's a fine looking rooster, just has a few things that don't match with the breed standard. No big deal if you're breeding pet quality.
