Old English Game Bantams

If you are involved with these birds, here's a book you really
should know about:
Old English Game Bantams as Bred and Shown in the
United States by F. P. Jeffrey and William Richardson, 1995
(126 pp., Old English Game Bantam Club of America, 316 Sullivan Rd., Simpsonville,
SC 29680, 864-299-0901, e-mail:
Syg4138@aol.com).
If you are breeding or showing OEG bantams, this book is a must!
Chapters discuss their history, standards, judging, conditioning, principles
of breeding and genetics of OEG bantams, and all the various color varieties,
including 48 color photos of those.
It should be noted that the body styles of US and UK OEG bantams differ noticeably. Here's a page with UK OEG bantams.
