What breed is my Bigfoot?

[stoopid]

I've had this boy for years...What is he?

 

[AuberyMirkwood]

Looks like an Old English Self Blue to me. Might be a Dutch. How big is he?

 

[stoopid]

He's like a standard bantam size, but he stands real tall. He doesn't have the earlobes like a Dutch.

Looks like a poor quality modern game.

Bigfoot is the Abominable Snowman Rooster!!!

Yup, you have a very special rooster.

He's tall, he's the color of snow and he is Abominable!!

How did you know just by the picture? He really can be a rotten boy when he wants to be. Too bulky for a Modern. I got him from Ideal in a mixed special, about 8 years ago. Not white, self blue.

He could be a cross between a modern game and an OEGB. Do OEGB come in porclain? Maybe he has some of that in him.

Dunno, supposed to be pure something, coming from a hatchery. Just haven't figured out what.

I ordered some OEG bantams from the same hatchery this past winter and got some with crests. So, the hatcheries don't necessarily sell purebred birds nor are they necessarily a good representative of the breed if they are purebred. I would say he is a self blue Modern Game bantam (hatchery quality).
