That roo is beautiful! If I was not so dead set against having a roo around here - no need to irritate neighbors - I would want one just like that!

Well, Will, I didn't know OEGBs came in barred! Learn something new every day with chickens. Thanks.

There are bantam marans, if he is that small. He doesn't look pure cuckoo. I have no knowledge of game birds, but that make sense.

I wish you had a face picture of your silkie. From what I can tell I would guess the silkie in the picture is a Hen.

He'll probably be sold at the livestock market in pearson, ga. I dunno what a fair price to ask is. I work in a kitchen so they get all kinds of scraps, they are very healthy birds.

Also my black japanese roo I'm guessing again here.

And my white roo, japanese too?

The white silkie pictured looks like a pullet. I dont see any streamers.

I think you're almost right. If it's a bantam, which it appears to be, I'd say it's a Cuckoo OEGB. Cukoo & Barred look very similar but there is a difference. Cukoo isn't quite as regular as Barred. Kind of like you took a Barred & shifted the lines a little.
