What ever that thing Archen has at top of page is no old english, its got green legs right off the bat....

who you talking to? me? Tell me thats not a game cock, lets put mine against yours and we'll find out. ha
by the way, just joking about the fighting part, but then he;s already proven that in my chicken yard - saw no rules or regs on green legs, yeah, he has that gene too and will prob pass it on to his pullets, will find out. but I was surprized to see so many large combs entered, when I thought standard old english have pea combs, who knows boy this is an amateur game, and besides the picture doesn't do him justice, in the sunlight you can really see the pattern, but if he gets out, the only way I can catch him is to pull him off another ropster.
See, the British actually started the breed, and for fights,and pea combs are an advantage - all the cockerels I saw on line had pea combs, besides, was told he is old english by the old guy that gave him to me

Chickenwing, no need to stir stuff up. The bird in the picture doesnt look like an Old English to me either, but i do not own the bird. But i can tell you Old English of any kind Should have a Single comb, not pea. A pea comb would be the results of American Game which are two completely different breeds.

Oh what do I know but what the guy told me old english game, but, not starting the stir up, just not ignoring it either.....guess I'll do some research, but the bird looks exactly like what the old english standard picture is of game birds, should have entered the red rooster instead

Achickenwrangler#1 this thread was for Old English Game Bantams. That bird is not an Old English Game Bantam. It doesn't really look to be a bantam. Compare to the other pictures and do a little reserach http://www.feathersite.com/Poultry/Games/GameBantams/BRKOEGBantams.html There are some pit game strains with pea combs but they certainly aren't Old English Game Bantams.
