These elegant birds, with their proud upright stance and distinctive pearl-colored legs, are not only beautiful but also steeped in history. Known for their confident demeanor, they embody the strength and grace that has been cherished by poultry enthusiasts for generations.

The origins of the Old English Game breed stretch back to ancient times, with roots in the fierce cockfighting birds brought to Britain by the Romans. As times changed and cockfighting was banned in the mid-19th century, these resilient birds found a new purpose in poultry exhibitions, where their stunning looks and admirable traits were celebrated. The Red Pyle variety, recognized by the American Standard of Perfection since 1938, carries this rich legacy forward, showcasing the breed’s adaptability and undeniable appeal.

Red Pyle Standard Old English Chicks are known for their spirited personalities and robust bodies. They are lively and vocal, adding character and energy to any flock. Though they aren’t prolific egg layers, the hens still provide around 120 white eggs a year, making them a versatile addition to your backyard. These chickens are also incredibly hardy, thriving in various climates and environments. With an average lifespan of up to 15 years, they offer long-term companionship and utility for poultry enthusiasts.
