Show off your Old English Game Bantams!!

I know splash is the result of a blue to blue crossing, so it could be possible. I'm not very knowledgeable in chicken genetics, but I have had the chicken calculator be correct.

Blue x Blue = 50% Blue, 25% Black, 25% Splash
Blue x Black = 50% Blue, 50% Black
Blue x Splash = 50% Blue, 50% Splash
Black x Black = 100% Black
Splash x Splash = 100% Splash
Splash x Black = 100% Blue

That was a typo. 2 eggs a week and for the leghorn is 3 eggs a week. I keep thinking that it could be a crossbreed. Because when she was a little chick, she look nothing like a leghorn (brown) and she looks a lot like a BB red old english game bantam.

Ah, ok. She could be a crossbreed, but to me she looks like a pure brown Leghorn hen. I have two, and she looks just like them. BBreds also look like a tiny version of brown Leghorns.

Quote: Exactly. I'm just saying the splash could throw some blue chicks, but I don't know what the white bird's genetics are. I've heard in the past that white can hide colors... Hopefully someone more knowledgeable than I can chime in.

Yay, turns out my self blue is setting on about 19 eggs guess she's seriously committed. I candled them and put all but the most developed in the bator so they have a chance, she was trying so hard to cover them all but if they're hers that means each one is a day younger then the one before and won't hatch within a couple days of the first one. I did let her keep the oldest ones so now she's covering them just fine. I should of taken a picture.

Your hen doesn't look to be an OEGB. If she was, she'd be about the size of that waterer in the bottom right corner of the photo. She looks to be a brown Leghorn hen.

Hoping you all can help! I was just given 4 seven week Old English chicks. I am trying to determine color on these. Ignore the purple tails, the reason i received them is they were getting picked on, so it is blue kote.
The little roo look slike a bald eagle, the one pullet is dove brown, the other two are buff, although one is darker than other.
Also if roo breeds with them, will I get decent colors? Thanks

Little roo is a Silver Duckwing... Others are guesses, but brown is looking kinda like a Brassy Back, maybe? And yellow ones I'd say are Red Pyle...

Definitely a brown leghorn, she has the White ear lobes, she looks identical to my brown leghorn
