Silver Duckwing Jungle Fowl Standard Old English Chicks

Experience the captivating elegance of the Silver Duckwing Standard Old English Chicks, offered by Purely Poultry. These birds are truly a sight to behold, with roosters displaying a breathtaking mix of gleaming white and shimmering black feathers, accentuated by a blue-black iridescence. Their jewel-like appearance adds a touch of grandeur to any flock, while the hens, with their soft gray and brown plumage speckled with delicate black flecks, bring a sense of serenity and charm to your backyard.

Rooted in history, the Old English Game breed dates back to ancient times, when they were introduced to Britain by the Romans as cockfighting birds. Over time, after the sport was banned in 1849, these resilient chickens transitioned from the arena to the show ring, where their striking looks and lively personalities became the focus of admiration. Known for their compact, tightly feathered bodies and energetic nature, Silver Duckwing Old English Chicks have contributed significantly to the development of many modern breeds.

More than just ornamental, these chickens are known for their spirited and active nature. Their flighty, vocal demeanor makes them excellent for free-range environments, where they can explore and exhibit their natural survival instincts. Hens lay around 120 white eggs each year and are dedicated mothers, often going broody and providing excellent care for their young. With their adaptability and resilience, these birds thrive in various climates, making them a versatile and hardy choice for backyard flocks. Keep in mind, however, that males can be territorial, so providing ample space is key to maintaining harmony in the flock.

At Purely Poultry, we offer the Silver Duckwing variety alongside other stunning options, including the Gold Duckwing and Cuckoo colors. For those who prefer smaller birds, we also carry bantam varieties to suit every poultry enthusiast’s needs.
