Show off your Old English Game Bantams!!

Anybody have a guess what color this chick is? I got a pair from the feedstore just to see how they would turn out. They were listed as Fawn Duckwing. Is that a color? These are my project sex-linked OEGB chicks. I ended up with the majority like the chick above, but the chick below was the only one who developed this "crele" coloring.

I've been looking for barred oegb's do you sell eggs?

I have 4 chicks i got back in march. i have a year old rooster. when do i turn them out together and when will they start laying eggs?

 

[nate1the1great1]

As long as the younger ones have head feathers they can go outside a and they don't lay until there 6 months old

Getting red comb at 4 weeks? Hatchery stock OEGB. I got this OEGB chick, along with 3 d'uccle. I've been thinking pullet... but her comb is turning red already - at 4 weeks. Is this normal, or do I have a cockerel? Feathers look good for pullet though.

Here are some growth pictures (days, 3 week, and three 4 week pics):

days old - in the back middle:


3 weeks - comb line dark pink (though not large):


4 weeks (slightly larger comb than at 3 weeks, still dark pink):


4 weeks -comb


4 weeks -back/feathers



Also ... I was told by the hatchery the OEGB options were "Red Pyle, Brown, & Silver Duckwing". Well, its not red pyle. Do you think Brown Red, or Silver duckwing pullet? Though I got one from them last year - and it was BB red cockerel.

I haven't had too many OEGB's over the years, so any help would be welcomed. Thanks!!

Thought I'd update on this one. This little Old English bantam that started to get a red comb at 3-4 weeks is a pullet. The feathers stayed consistent. The comb was just really early to develop.

This is her at about 8 weeks. She's 12 weeks old now & very pretty.

Quote: Not at this time. Right now, my show bantams are mixed in with my oegb pen until I can get my show bantam pen finished. Hopefully by then, I will have one of the cockerels from this paring to breed back to my crele hens. I hope to get barred pullets from that crossing. I could let you know when I do.
