Russian Orloff?

[JedJackson]

Agree with keesmom. That is a spangled Old English game bantam. Way too small for a speckled Sussex, and that breed lays pale tan eggs, not white eggs.

Agree with @keesmom and @JedJackson. She is a Spangle Old English Game Bantam.

I have a RO and she is way bigger than that and lays brown eggs. Here is a webpage about them.

I think she is a SS just a small one. Do her eggs resemble this? This is a SS egg from a girl about the same age and size.

Normally i'd agree with you on the size but I have one that small and actually a couple months older got her in July from Meyers.
So little ones are in the gene pool.

I also agree with keesmom. Speckled Sussex are full-bodied birds, even the small ones. Your girl is lovely.

To me it looks exactly like a spangled Old English game bantam, and the cream colored eggs plus light body type fit perfectly with that. But if you disagree, I think that's fine. Everyone's opinion and experiences count, and it gives the original poster different options to think about.

My first thought was OEGB. My neighbors have ones just like her.

Ok, here is my case for this girl being a SS in pictures.

Cup is approximately 4 inches across.

Here she is with a LF Faverolles and a Dominique pullet the same age.

Booty shot of her and a bantam Faverolles.

That is small. But she looks more like a Sussex to me in body type than the first bird shown, and the egg you showed looked the right color for Sussex. So I think yours is a small Sussex and the bird from the original post is a spangled OEGB.
