Ahh--I see; thanks! I searched it and only came up with pics of bantams.

She is stunning. I hope you are keeping her.

Thanks! I'm trying to keep her. The ones who found her said she seemed pretty wild and weren't sure what she would do with a flock. We will see. So far she is very wary of people, but you can tell she's being brave and trying to figure things out. I expect to free-range them all in the long run, so she will have space to do her own thing if that's what she needs.

Well, that's because there's also Brassy Back Old English Game Bantams.

Thanks!

You're welcome.

Body shape, small comb and her very tight feathering all match well with American game fowl.

American game fowl varieties are often named by strain rather than coloring, so it is very difficult to know if you have a certain strain and whether it is pure unless you receive that information from a breeder, which probably isn't going to happen in this case.

She doesn't match up with any standard color in an exact way, in my opinion. Too light for brassy back, a little too dark for black breasted red.

Brassy Back does vary in shade. These are just a few Brassy Back Old English Game Bantams for example. These are Show Breeder stock.

So pretty. The hens remind me of coopers hawks!
