Show off your Old English Game Bantams!!

[rlhagan56]

Our fair is going on too. I missed the judging yesterday and we are busy making the second bantam coop so I didn't get to go today either. I wanted to see the poultry. I think I have 4 or 5 OEGB roosters and was wondering if 4-H kids would be interested in any. I know they get so pretty, but I don't want them fighting and hurting each other later. I am hoping to integrate the little ones in with the 5 large hens and the cochin bantum that started it all lol.

One is almost completely feathered out and I am getting excited to see what they all end up looking like. I will post pictures when they all get featherd.

Me too!! This could be a super fun thread if there was just a little more actor on it. Come on every one that is reading, speak up.

There is also another thread with OEGBs: https://www.backyardchickens.com/t/276168/hello-and-welcome-to-the-oegb-thread/2450#post_9543319

I was given these two chicks by a man who said they are OEGBs. I don't know how old or what variety they are. Any ideas?

They do not look "Old English" at all! I highly doubt they are old english game bantams at all. The yellow legs and yellow beak are not qualities of an Old English Game Bantam. Ever... sorry, though, and they are pretty.

I've seen hatchery quality and pet quality with that leg color. I do agree....yellow legs are a no-no.

The both parents of these chicks were from a hatchery.

Here are the only oegb's I have at present. I'm not even sure what color the gray one is really called but she is the perfect pet! So friendly and would sit on your lap for hours if you let her. Her name is Nugget and the other in the second image is Dottie who is a Golden Campine. I really REALLY want to find a rooster for Nugget. Maybe someone can help me in determining what type of rooster I should have for her?
