Show off your Old English Game Bantams!!

[sue25]

Boldest of the bunch, my little Oegb chicks have been the front runners in today's adventure. A flooded basement quickly prompted a move out of the sopping wet brooder and into the new coop and of course that means a test drive in the run while the weather holds.

Look at all this babies running around. Breath of fresh air.

Gorgeous! What are they mixed with? Doesn't look like they have straight Combs.

Maybe start a thread. I'm interested to see what people say

Well shoot, all my Oegbs are developing black breast feathers. Boys all 3. Better get a bigger box ready for Craigslist as that leaves my flock ever so smaller. Makes me want to drive to the hatchery and pick out a handful with nice dark eyeliner and give these back.

Is it true that Old English chickens are mean? Or !maybe just hard to have in a flock? The guy at the feed store told me that. I never bought any..

From my experience, the girls are on the shy and sweet spectrum while the boys are bold and troublemakers. I haven't had any reach maturity, but I never had much in the way of aggression with any of them, though I do a lot of handling from day one.

I'm sure others here can tell you more about their experiences.
