Splash Standard Old English Chicks

Purely Poultry is excited to introduce the Splash Standard Old English Chicks, a delightful and striking addition to any flock. These unique birds are easily recognized by their eye-catching white plumage adorned with playful black spots, creating a whimsical appearance that is sure to captivate poultry enthusiasts. While not officially recognized by the APA, their distinct color variation adds an extra layer of charm, making them a popular choice for those who appreciate both beauty and character in their chickens.

With roots tracing back to ancient Rome, Old English Game chickens have a storied history, once bred for cockfighting before transitioning into the exhibition world. Today, they are celebrated for their elegant appearance, lively spirit, and adaptability. The Splash variety, in particular, brings a vibrant personality to any flock, infusing energy and visual appeal into your backyard setup.

These birds are more than just ornamental, offering a mix of beauty and utility. Hens produce around 120 white eggs per year, and their strong mothering instincts make them excellent caretakers, ensuring their chicks are well-protected. Though their egg production may not be prolific, their well-developed muscle structure also makes them a good choice for those interested in table birds. Longevity is another key feature of this breed, with many living up to 15 years, providing a long-term, dependable presence in your flock.

Splash Standard Old English Chickens are known for their lively, slightly flighty temperament, thriving in free-range environments where they can explore and exhibit their natural behaviors. Their agility and alertness help them evade predators, making them well-suited to various climates and conditions. Keep an eye on the males, though, as they can be territorial, especially in flocks with multiple roosters.

At Purely Poultry, we’re proud to offer these captivating Splash Standard Old English Chicks, perfect for poultry keepers seeking both aesthetics and practicality. Whether you’re looking to exhibit these beautiful birds or simply want to enjoy their charming presence in your backyard, they are sure to make an impression.
