The Blue Old English Game Bantam is a gorgeous slate blue color. This variety was admitted to the American Poultry Association Standard of Perfection in 1976.
Among the many reasons Old English Game Bantams are popular for backyards is because they are so self-assured. They are excellent foragers and outstanding parents. They are truly a low-maintenance breed.
The Blue Old English Game Bantam is magnificent as a show bird. Handled frequently as chicks, they become tame and friendly. They will eat out of your hand and they love to cuddle. These traits, plus their small size, make them easy to exhibit and also wonderful as pets.
As with other blue varieties, mating a blue rooster to a blue hen will not result in all-blue chicks. Some will be blue. But others will be a nice mix of dark blue-black and splash.
We’re sure you will adore these tiny blue bantams. Chickens for Backyards also offers Old English Game Bantams in several other color varieties.
