Ginger Red Old English Bantam Chicks

Purely Poultry is excited to introduce the Ginger Red Old English Bantam Chicks, a stunning addition to any flock that brings both beauty and personality to your backyard. Recognized by the American Poultry Association since 1982, these bantams are a visual delight, showcasing a striking blend of vibrant colors that are sure to catch anyone’s eye.

The Ginger Red Old English Game Bantam roosters are a true spectacle, with their bold red heads and glowing orange-yellow neck and saddle feathers. Their rich red wings and back are beautifully contrasted by a sleek black tail and slate-blue legs, creating a stunning color palette that makes them stand out. The hens, while more subtly adorned in ginger tones accented with black trim, are equally captivating and bring a sense of elegance to the flock.

These bantams are not just about looks—they have wonderful temperaments, making them a fantastic choice for families and poultry enthusiasts of all experience levels. Known for their gentle and friendly nature, Ginger Red Old English Bantams are easy to care for and thrive in smaller spaces, making them ideal for those with limited backyard or coop space. Despite their compact size, these birds bring plenty of character to any setting.

Descended from the historic Old English Game breed, which dates back to the 1st century in Great Britain, these bantams carry with them a rich legacy. Originally bred for cockfighting, a practice banned in 1849, they have since transitioned into show birds and beloved companions, celebrated for their bold appearance and spirited personalities.

In addition to their striking looks, Ginger Red Old English Bantams are excellent foragers, naturally controlling pests and weeds in your garden. Hens are known for being attentive and protective mothers, ensuring the well-being of their chicks, which makes them a great choice for those interested in breeding. They are also moderately productive, laying around 100 small brown eggs each year, adding a practical element to their beauty. Hens typically weigh about 22 ounces, while roosters come in at around 24 ounces—making them manageable and easy to care for in any environment.

Whether you’re interested in showing these stunning birds or simply want to enjoy their vibrant presence in your backyard, Ginger Red Old English Bantam Chicks from Purely Poultry are the perfect choice.
