old English colors

[DylanP]

Hi everyone, i was wondering if anyone could tell me which color old English these are . I guess my other question would be With my current flock can i hatch out some bb red ?

the last one is a Black Breasted Red, the dark pullet is a Brown Red, the cockerel might be a Birchen, and the orange colored pullet is probably a wheaten mix or something different but better photos of it would help

Okay thank you , im new to this breed but i always wanted the bb red , heres the only other pic i have of the orange one, ill see if she will cooperate with me in the am to get a better pic

I forgot to say in my post they are young , I’m thinking the bb red is laying already, and the rooster is just starting to mate with them

do you have any photos of her from the side? it will be easier to tell if i can see the whole body. the BBR does apear to be laying

Heres one i took when i went into the coop this morning , is it possible I could hatch a bb red chick or any other recognized with my current flock ?

Duck-wing colors are white legged.

you can not hatch any that will be the recognized verieties because of the different colored birds, however you may have some that look similar. for example: if you have chicks that come from your brown red pullet and your birchen roo they will look like either a birchen or brown red

Ahh okay well im glad i can at least get 2 colors somewhat back , these were the only ones i could find at the time so theres no chance at producing ones that look like my bb red ?

probably not without some leakage
