OLD ENGLISH GAME BANTAM, OR OEGB BREED INFORMATION. COLORS I HAVE ARE WHEATEN, CUCKOO, RED PYLE, BLUE RED, ALTHOUGH OVER 30 COLOR ARE RECOGNIZED. THE HISTORY OF THE OEG LEADS BACK TO ENGLAND, WERE THEY WERE DEVELOPED IN THE 19 AND 20TH CENTURY FROM ANCIENT STOCK, AND ACCEPTED INTO THE APA IN 1928. THIS IS THE MOST POPULAR BIRD KEPT FOR SHOWING. OLD ENGLISH GAME BANTAMS WEIGH 675 GRAMS, OR 24OZ AND HENS 625 GRAMS, OR 22OZ. OEGB HAVE A LARGE SINGLE COMB, DUBBED FOR SHOWING, WHITE SKIN AND SHANKS. HENS LAY AROUND 70-120 EGGS PER YEAR, AND HAVE A WHITE TO LIGHTLY TINTED EGG THAT IS SMALL, WEIGHING AROUND 30 GRAMS. HENS ARE AN EXCELLENT BROODER, AND PROTECTIVE MOTHER. BECAUSE THEY ARE SO DEFENSIVE THEY ARE NOT ALWAYS THE BEST CHOICE AS MOTHERS. OEGB ARE HARDY AND DO WELL IN COLD CONDITIONS. THEY ARE SLOW TO MATURE, NEED TO BE LESS ACTIVE, ARE LESS TOLERANT OF CLOSE CONFINEMENT. THEY CAN SOMETIMES BE AGGRESSIVE, ALTHOUGH MINE ARE NOT, AND I NEVER CONDONE PURPOSELY BREEDING CHICKENS FOR AGGRESSIVE BEHAVIOR, WHICH CAN SOMETIMES BE FOUND WITH THE REGULAR OLD ENGLISH GAME (OEG). BANTAMS ARE SELF-SUFFICIENT, GOOD FORAGERS, AND NOISY. OEGB ARE CAPABLE OF CONSIDERABLE FLIGHT, AND CAN REVERT BACK TO A WILD STATE IN SOME SITUATIONS. ALBC PRIORITY: STUDY. These are my personal favorite breed, the bantams have some of the best personalities and are very friendly, I have found that they love to be held and pet, and will follow you everywhere!
