Resources for breeding show quality Old English Game Bantams

Dubbing is the funnest thing. I hit my younger brother to do the operating while I guided him. Turned out not bad. Wish I had left a little bit more over the top.

Ok. How about a pic with someone holding him?

I got some pics this evening.
I have pretty small arms, soooo.

Hi there. Yes, I still think he’s on the larger side. At least I think so.

I’d like to see a little darker color as well. These are some basic things. I’m sure an expert could make a far better critique of both our birds.

He is a bit big, yeah. And aside from that, tighter wings are necessary.

Hi there. Over the past two years or so, I’ve acquired a fair number of bb red old english game bantams and currently have two dozen eggs in an incubator. My birds come from a male line so I’d like to develop them to produce quality cocks and cockerels. Does anyone know of a great resource for learning about the breed (old english game bantams) as well as advice on breeding, selecting, culling, etc.? Thanks.

What area do you live in. I have some nice fancy females but I need a male for the breeding pen. Actually, I a male for my granddaughters.

Hi there. I’m finding myself in the same spot. There are a few breeding/showing books out there, but I haven’t seen them myself.
