Old English Game Bantams?

[Heather67]

These are 6 weeks old and when we got them were told they were OEGB. Can anyone confirm? I know nothing about the breed.

Neither is an old English game bantam. The first one has a pea comb. Pretty sure that is an Easter egger bantam. The second has green legs whereas old English should have white legs in that color variety. I am not sure what she is. Maybe a different type of Easter egger.

If they came from a backyard breeder rather than a hatchery they could be old English game bantam mixes.

Ty. I’ll admit I’m clueless on the breed so when I was told they were I was like oh no I need to learn about them

They're cute and healthy. To me that trumps breed every time.

Are the legs of the second one as green as they appear in the photo?

I have heard people saying that hatchery quality OEGB sometimes have green legs...or was that phoenix
