Would you like to help settle this?

They don't have to be yours Jed, you presented beautiful examples, I didn't expect them to be yours. Maybe you just need a better camera - a good point & shoot - doesn't have to be expensive.

Okay, the pictures are blurry, but aren't her earlobes white not red?? From what I understand, OEG should have red earlobes...she does, however, look to me like a Norwegian Jaerhon. They stay very small - almost bantam size - but lay huge eggs with great vigor and rarely become broody.

*not my own image, just one I had saved on my computer for reference.

Wow thanks everyone! I appreciate all the answers! The good news is that no one was 100% correct, so there can’t be any over the top bragging- lol!
Alexandra33- what are their personalities like, if you don’t mind??

OEGBs in general are known for their "blobbish," mellow demeanors. One of my Crele girls has turned out to be a sweetheart, while the other isn't a huge fan of extra attention. Hopefully this will change once she begins laying. I also raised a gorgeous cockerel, but much to my disappointment, he became human-aggressive and had to meet his maker. Overall, though, I highly recommend, as they are true eye candy.

I will give it another go one of these days. Point and shoot sounds like it might be the thing to try!

You mean the silver duckwing OEGB? It is the same color pattern as silver grey Dorkings, just a different breed. You'll also find it in silver Leghorns and silver phoenix, among others.

The hens are generally very calm. The roosters (with the exception of some) are pretty feisty

Looks like a cross breed.
