Old English Game Bantams
Class: Game Bantams
Old English Game Bantams originated in England many years ago. Popularity in America has greatly increased since becoming a Standard breed in 1925 and they often are among our largest classes in the show room.
Type and color is the same as for the large Old English with the possible exception the tail of the Bantam does not show the full development of the large OId English. The long flowing hackle of the male is commonly referred to among breeders as the shawl. They are hardy and vigorous and in addition to the usual beautiful colors, come in the very attractive Spangled and Wheaton.
