Show off your Old English Game Bantams!!

Thanks all for your opinions on Roody. He is quite young and that poof seems to have gone away. He may just be a cull ( by show standards). We had a Silver Duck wing that died so this one was given to DW by a friend who breeds and sell them all over country. We just have these for fun and that they are. I also have 3 BBR hens. Just gotta love the little boogers.

I got some Gingers today. I'll have to try to get pics up soon. Hen's a bit of a spaz, so we'll see. Hope she tames down.

This is Dude. He's my first OEGB, and not very perfect, but I'm crazy about him! He's spunky and friendly, and makes the greatest sounds. He weighs 18oz, I think. Silver Duckwing? He stands much prettier than this picture shows.

And this is a blue wheaten chick. I've got ten of them. They just got here on Thursday, so this baby was 2 days old in this pic. Dude needed friends his size, and I couldn't resist this color. I think they're so beautiful. Can't wait to see how these babies turn out.

I want some off these guys so badly. Just as a pet project, they're so cute!

I bought mine for 4H but last summer was my last year being in it.

Now I have mine for pets only. I sure do love getting the eggs though.

I have a 1 year old blue OEGB hen who went broody and just hatched out a porcelain D'uccle egg given to her --the only one of some mailed eggs to develop. So far, she's an exemplary mom. As she is my first & only OEGB, does anyone have experience with them raising chicks? This hen is super-calm quiet & docile, which I think is not the norm.

OMG....you guys have some pretty chicks!!!!

I have three OEGB's...wasnt real sure what they were till now...I love them dearly...they are sooooo sweet and follow us all over the yard

I have two hens and one roo....he is the sweetest roo!!!!

I do have a question though...how do you stop your regular size rooster from mating with these little hens...so far he isnt hurting them but he is 6x their size!!!

They let him do it too

I dont let mine out unless I am at home...I would be really upset if something happened to them, they are not even a year old yet.
