Re: Old English Game
How agressive are OEG? Could I keep an OEG hen with a mixed flock of buff orpingtons, araucanas, welsummers and ex-batts?

Re: Old English Game
I have a pair of OEG Bantams I got last month. They are so cute and yet so stocky! I wasn't aware as to how stocky even the bantams are! They are soooo chunky!
Have to say I am a huge fan of combs on birds and seriously couldn't ever dub for looks. Just how I am, I know it is done, just not in my house tho, but then again, I can't remove dew claws on puppies, I'm just too soft as some would say.
I got them for £15 the pair as the hen had damaged her comb.
Here's a picture of them on the day I got them, will get new pictures tomorrow.

Re: Old English Game
Not a chance!!!!!!! He's supper sexy with his comb on lol and he's keeping it lol
I think I'll end up keeping any chicks hatched for fear someone would cut them up lol
Would far rather keep them, eat extra cockerals myself lol
I'm a softie like that. No reason to dub in these times, cock fighting is illegal after all.

They are slowly getting used to being handled & not as flighty as they was. Have attached a picture as they are just gorgeous birds albeit a bit bedraggled. I have called them Gomez & Morticia lol

Re: Old English Game
Ive kept OEG's for years ( bantams ) now and i highly recommend them, they can et very tame and have plenty of character. You get the odd feisty cock for sure. I'm actually looking for new stock, want to try a new colour, i got blacks at the moment. If any of you good people got any for sale or hatching eggs. I'm in wiltshire. cheers tweedy

Re: Old English Game
my english game have yet to lay an egg this year, is this particular to the breed or is it not normal.I know a few people that have them and all their hens are laying every day. I used to have 3 hens and a cock but now I only have two hens and A borrowed cock. I'm eager to hatch eggs from them to get the cock back to his owner as soon as possible because he has won a lot of shows and I'm afraid of something happening to him
