If I had to make an educated guess, I would say you got them from a hatchery? Yes, he appears to be a OEG, however, hatcheries often cross OEG to Dutch bantams to get Dutch bantams in color varieties that do not exist in the US. They sell Dutch bantams in BB Red, which is NOT a recognized Dutch variety, which indicated the crossing. Dutch bantams look very similar, but, Dutch color would be accurately called a Light Brown Dutch, which has slate colored legs. Dutch generally have whit ear lobes, however, with a cross, it probably lost that trait and retained the red of the OEG.
