Yes she is a BB Red Old English game bantam hen, no she is not show quality.
She is coarsely stippled and has shafting. Her comb is a little course also. It is hard to tell from your pictures but I would bet she is also long backed.
Her ear lobes maybe white because of egg production, also male lines don't mind having white earlobe, or course stippling and shafting for that matter.

She's also long in the back, has poor tail carraige & appears to be a bit big.

I think it is a great learning experience to post photo's of birds and ask questions about their type color etc. etc. In my opinion and this is in no way meant to slam the OP as many many ask the same question in the same way. Is this bird show quality?

I think we would get more accurate and better information if we posted a photo and asked for input on type, color, comb faults etc etc.

I think I have yet to see someone post the question is this bird SQ and then get a positive "you bet" response. I think in general those with show quality birds have a pretty good idea that they have that kind of bird.

Again just suggesting a way to formulate the question so as to get a more critical and more valuable response.

For example a couple of us, Chris 09 included have posted pictures on a Breed website and asked for input from some seasoned breeders, showmen, judges. The information was invaluable even though very critical. If you ask some of these long time breeders to pick a bird apart you better have some thick skin, because they will find the faults.

Just a suggestion going forward

I agree,
I like to here "faults" on birds..
I know that no bird will be the "perfect" specimen of the breed it represents, so when a person that knows the breed or a poultry judge makes comments or points out faults on a bird/ breed that I have I know where I need to improve or what to look for when I get replacement breeders...

My advice to the OP and any other person that is starting out with a new breed/ variety is read and learn all you can about that breed/ variety. Then don't ever take what a person has to say about your bird (s) to heart, take it as where you have to improve..
