Show off your Old English Game Bantams!!

Fluffed and dry. Still very blue-silver with darker blue back and shoulders. Enough brassy markings to tell they're brassy. Would've liked more chicks, but happy with these 2.

Sorry about your egg batch. But the two chicks look beautiful! Do you prefer incubator to a broody hen? Eggs seem to be an easier way to get nice birds than trying to order chicks, but a bit daunting to try to hatch.

Not if you're already making a road trip!

Great idea!

 

[abbevilleoz]

I'm sure we could work out a trade. It would be an interesting trip back, no doubt.

One question Oz? USC or Clemson?

I was a Gamecock fan until my son transferred to Clemson to finish a mechanical engineering degree. I still pull for USC when they play each other, though.

I very rarely buy chicks. I prefer hatching my own. I use broodies if I have them available, but nunbers dictate that I use an incubator ( or 3).

Rosco seems a bit shy. Uploading images here can be tricky at times. Keep trying, because we want to see him. Welcome to BYC and to this thread.

a red Pyle pair, a black beasted red pair, a a white leg horn pair, it's really strange the hens won't breed with any other male except their roo.....they will down right throw down with any other roo....full flare and sparing too...it's funny

oh and my little bb red too

So a Blue Splash OEGB was hatching and it had trouble getting out so I tried to help it but it still hasn't absorb all of the yolk I basically took his head out. Should I have waited?
