Oh! Could I get that lucky!?
I've been trying to find some near me for about a year!
Yeah, I'm happy at that prospect!

I would be happy with BBRs also, these little girls can be whatever they want to be simply because they saved little Lucky's life for me along with my sanity. LOL
Who is in your avatar?
She is one of my OEGB mutt bantams. I named her Little Dove due to the fact that when she feathered out, her shape reminded me of a Mourning Dove. I have no idea what color combination or what other bantam combination she is.
The Amish farmer that I bought my hatching eggs from just for fun is that somebody approached him with a black OEGB rooster and asked him if he would be interested in breeding 'fighting birds' for him. To his credit he turned down the offer and told me that idea just didn't set well with him. Sure enough, one day I was at the farm buying feed from him and look up to see a fully dubbed beautiful little OEGB black rooster strutting across the yard.
Admittedly, most of my cockerels look like BBR roosters. Here is one of the first birds I hatched:
Most of my pullets are partridge colored with the exception of a few that are cafe o lait colored head and breast and darker bodies and two that are white with colored bodies like the one in my avatar. All t
he cockerels look like the one pictured with the exception of the one that looks to be a Crele.
I also have two cockerels who look as though they are Sumatra's crossed with a partridge OEGB. I'll try to get a pic of my two boys. Their posture, tail carriage and color along with the shape of their heads and necks are different from the BBR boys and they are smaller cockerels.

I have mine in a coop with other bantums that are larger then the oegb. In order to add another larger chicken you might need to get one that is only a few week old and try to put them together. A much larger chicken may peck and injure her.if it is full grown. Look under the forums and read about introducing chickens into a flock there is very good info on this subject.
So pretty... How / where did you rescue her?
