Show off your Old English Game Bantams!!

That's impressive!

Nice! I'm jealous!

Thanks. I still need to do some things to it, but it allows me to hatch a lot of eggs at one time. It also freed up my smaller Incukit unit and I built a new incubator using a Hovabator shell. It has auto-humidity and an Incuturn, which turns the eggs on their sides.

Wow, they are lovely and he's a handsome boy. Did you check his crop? Is he eating and drinking?

I'm guessing its not something specific to old English, I'd ask in the emergencies and diseases forum. Good luck with him!!

No matter what he's come down with, keeping him feeding and drinking will greatly increase his chances of survival. Even just a little.

What does he feel like when you pick him up? What do his droppings look like? Solid or watery? Bloody or oddly colored? Do they smell normal? Is his head droopy?

Roo is a blue golden duckwing. Hen looks more like a blue SDW to me, but could very well be a blue golden.

He hasn't pooped and he has a very full crop he might be constipated don't no will leave him by himself he has food and water so he should be fine though and I agree with the colours was just double checking can't wait to breed them this spring

He may have a blockage in his crop or a sour crop. Is there an unusual odor coming from his mouth? Post his symptoms on the emergency thread for better advice than I could give. Hope he's going to be alright.

I love them all!

The crossed black one is super fabulous!!

Is the little chipmunk a brown red?? I have a friend that just locked down some of my mixed eggs. SDW male, over the SDW female, and some mixed females. I haven't even hatched any of them myself, so I'm very curious what they will come out looking like.

Brown reds are the "blackest" chicks I hatch. Almost jet black at hatching, far more so than the blacks. The chipmunk one is a blue brassy. They hatch showing almost no blue, very similar to all duckwing chicks.
