What kind of bantam is this?

[shelbyrae]

Hi chicken peeps!

I came into this chicken randomly and I believe it to be a bantam breed as it's small and seems fully grown but I don't know anything about where it came from or what gender it may be.

Has anyone seen one like this before? It hasn't crowed since arriving but it does get a bit aggressive sometimes.

Thanks for the help!

I believe that she is an Old English game bantam cross.

I don’t think she is a bantam. She is a brown red game hen of some sort. Which will look small compared to dual purpose breeds.

Shes pretty.

Shes pretty.

She could be a bantam welsummer.

Maybe a brown red old English game bantam cross, maybe with a Japanese bantam because of the round body and high tail.

Looks like an OEGB mix.

She could be a bantam welsummer.

She’s darker than a welsummer, her coloring is closer to brown red than gold duckwing (which is what welsummers are).
