What breed is this chicken? OEGB?

Hi - a friend sent me a picture of a chicken she needs help identifying. My guess would be some type of Old English Game Bantam. But i am no expert. It is the slim grey chicken on the left. Thanks for any input anyone might provide.

The way she's standing, she looks like a modern, and a silver blue.

Thank you, Julie. i checked Feathersite and i can see from the various pictures that is a distinct possibility. Can't tell from my friend's picture if her hen has those long legs, but the face and body seem right on. Thanks again!

I would lean more towards OEG. The legs don't look long enough and it doesn't look tall enough for a modern, it looks to be simply the way it is standing. Kind of that "wait what's behind me!" look. Adorable bird though!

I agree. She looks like an Old English Game Bantam. Those legs are a little short, and she doesn't have the same build as the Modern Game. Very pretty bird. I can't tell from the color of the pic, but she looks to be a sort of blue.

I agree, Silver blue Old english game bantam.

Nah, i understand you're a judge and all.. But as a modern game bantam she should be about the same height as the hen she's standing next to. She's standing up against the wire so she's using a tall stance like a modern but if she were to walk around normally she would probably be to the wing bow/bottom of the neck on the..Wyandotte? And would probably stand less upright.. But i could be wrong. Enchanted could we get a picture of her just walking around?
