Not much chance it's an Old English Game. They are extremely rare. More likely an American Game.

My neighbor gets his chickens from many people, who knows. He is a little smaller than a Plymouth Rock rooster.

Just for conversation, I’ve never heard anyone say that old English is a rare breed, I’ve had them, ordered them straight from hatcheries. Can you elaborate on that?

They have every color leg available depending on specific strain. Some strains have more than one available leg color, ie. Yellow Legged Hatch/Green Legged Hatch.

Old English Bantams are not rare at all. Standard Old English are only raised by a handful of breeders. The only hatchery that I know of that offers standard Old English sells American Games bred to color standards for Old English.
