Show off your Old English Game Bantams!!

Well the hen from my crele pair died. I found her half dead. i couldnt get her to open her eyes, eat, or drink. She was in quarentine since I had just got her, and the only other one exposed to her was the rooster. His eye was foaming. Not sure what happened to her or what is wrong with him. I do think they are pretty old, but she was acting odd ealier in the day too, so it wasnt completley random. Plus the rooster acts as if he has no neck, he is always huddled down. not becuase he is cold, that is just how he stands. My silver duckwing cockerel dosent stand like that.

Foamy eye? Not good. Sounds like a respiratory illness like CRD. Good thing you quarantined. Really sorry about your loss

what does CRD stand for? Hiw is it passed? He is in the same room as others in quarantine, but on opposite ends.Should I remove him?

o and I dont know if it matters or not but his eyes were only like that for 3 or 4 hours

Anyone have a spexific name for my new bantam rooster ? Hes obviously of game descent,,but as to his color im not sure if its a mix or what ? I was told he is american game.....looks like a mini island style bird

• maximusfowl, what about Colada? (mini island style bird) He's VERY pretty!
  

 

[maximusfowl]

Ive come to find that when i name a bird i get semi attached to it. Colada is a good name. Makes me want one. He was a fiesty one the first 2 days hes settled down a bit. I wish i knew what he was..thanks you one chick two

Welcome to BYC maximusfowl!

I'm glad you liked the name. I'm thinking your little roo might (possibly) be a Golden Duckwing Old English Game Bantam, but I'm not sure. http://www.cacklehatchery.com/oegbantams.htm
Others might have different ideas.
