Show off your Old English Game Bantams!!

Oh, and the pullets, yes, are dutch also, but have pinched tails, not typical of a "true Dutch"--the trio shows cross breedingand hatcheries do this, producing odd colors and patterns, and do not know this when they send out day old chicks--can't tell what they will be when they feather out!! Several hatcheries breed their own "dutch" until no one buys them any more because they are not typical Dutch.  And other hatcheries buy eggs,  depending upon the sellers listing of variety--and even the best breeder cannot tell what will hatch from any one egg!     Still, we could not manage without HATCHERIES.  For fryer, roasters, layers, they are essential to us all.   And chicks that are not sold at hatch day,  are either destroyed, or are the "extras" that they include in case of loss during shipping.   What would be do without chickens??

So do you think they are a cross? If so, what with? What would b some hatcheries that have 'safe' pure lines?

Just got my very first OEGB chicks this morning. Any clues as to what colors they might be?

Chick #1

Chick #2 - this little one is the one I'm most curious about as far as color.

Chick #3 - she's the little one on the left

They are simply darling! I got them and a silver-laced polish and a blue silkie. This is my first time with each of these three breeds. I'm very excited about them all, but those little OEGB are just down right adorable
