What breed would you call these 2 hens and rooster?

[Swstewart]

They are bantams but what breed are they? I'm assuming they are all a mixed breed.

I'd definitely say a mix from the feathered legs, maybe oegb mix, heavy on the oegb

So I could call them OEGB bantam mix? The only reason I'm really wanting to know is because my kids are wanting to enter 1 or 2 in the county fair junior chicken show and I have to list breed.

You can't really show mixed breed chickens unless it is a demonstation/obedience type of display competition. I would call and ask if mixed breeds are allowed before filling out forms and paying fees.

They are allowed. It's more for fun then a real competition.

So the pet category then? They're very pretty, I think they'll do well.

Great! I would call them mixed breed bantams but OEGB crosses would work too.

They are beautiful! Your cockerel is very majestic, is he noisy?

No, he is actually very calm and his crows are minimal compared to others we've had.
