Old English Game Bantams

My first few Crele OEGB. Venturing out to free range for the first time.View attachment 2672778

Adorable! All pullets? Do you have first weeks pictures of them? I’d like to compare to chicks I have now!

My OEGB are lemon blue and brown red. Jolene is a brown red, Dolly is the lemon blue hen and Flame is the lemon blue cock.

First time OEG mamma! Millie Fleur in coloring. I thought they were going to be d'Uccle Bantams, but they came clean legged. The hatchery order got messed up, but I’m pretty excited about these two! I always admired the beauty of OEG, but I thought they were on the aggressive side. However, from my reading it’s more of the standard birds that have this temperament? Can anyone speak from experience on how they do in a mixed flock? Thanks!

My pair of oegb are the sweetest! They are only mixed with sebrights though!

I got some OEGBs and Sebrights from TSC last year and love them. I got more this year. It’s awesome that can sex some of them by the dark eyeliner. Check out how small this one is! They are by far the smallest of all the OEGBs here including the hens. So small they are unable to make a connection when mating but bless their heart, they try . I’m hoping at least one of the new chicks I obtained recently is small like them so they can be an effective partner.

Do you have pictures? I have both OEGBs and Sebrights and am curious what the offspring might look like

I love OEGBS, and have wanted them for a long time. I have eggs that were supposed to ship three weeks ago but still haven’t.

I have OEGBs in a mixed flock and haven’t experienced any problems with them being aggressive towards humans or chickens or any other creatures. All mine are free range and I think that makes all the difference because they can get away from each other when pecking order drama happens. When they are cooped up and can’t get away from each other is when problems *might* be more likely to occur.

Have you considered ordering some chicks from Hoover’s Hatchery? That’s where I got mine and they’ve worked out really well.

I’m in Canada, so I can’t unfortunately. They should ship next Monday, and if they don’t, I’ll be more grumpy than I already am
