What breed is my bantam rooster??

It happens occasionally, especially if they are hatchery birds. Single combs do not appear as often(if not at all) from breeder birds because the breeders try to breed to the Standard. But, some breeders use birds with single combs because they have better fertility than those with rose combs. The Single comb gene is recessive to all other comb types, which means 1 of his parents had to be homozygous for it, and the other was either homozygous for it also or it had a single comb.

the Golden laced and silver laced Old english game bantams came from the single combed throw back's of sebrights, and then bred to the old english's to erase the hen feathered-ness and to take on the old english personality if im correct.. The first were created by Ideal i believe..

Along with the buff laced one's that i think also came from sebrights though from the pictures of them i've seen.. Still have a good ways to go before they can be called a old english.

Look at feathers on Golden Sebright that I know if a Golden Sebright.

The other one.

For the most part the coloring is the same. The tips of the feathers are slightly off from each other and other then the combs I would say they are the same type of bird.

That makes sense DTchickens. I guess really the only way is to see if it's hen-feathered or not.

And I also think that the Buff Laced ones originated from others Sebrights. The Silver Sebrights were the first, then the Goldens were derived from them I believe.

OK so we are saying that it is definately a golden sebright with a single comb..

But can I ask a dumb question... what is hen feathering?? I'm still learning lots...

And thank you all for helping me out here.

Hen feathering is when the roosters do not have the long, pointy sickle and saddle feathers. They will look like a hen's feathers, hence the name. If your bird's tail feathers start to curl and get pointy then it may be a Golden Laced OEG. But it may also be a very bad quality Sebright. At this point, there are too many variables. You may end up waiting another month.

Either that or you're just trying to make my life harder

But thanks though. I never considered a Gold Laced OEG. I've seen them on Ideal's website, but it's not something you see everday so..

So now you throw something new into the mix...

I'm off to bed...

I am thinking oegb also, because of his leg color, his comb, and I think I can see pointy hackles in the pic.
