The Golden Duckwing Old English Game Bantam is a stunning and spirited miniature breed known for its striking coloration, proud stance, and lively personality. This bantam variety descends from the historic Old English Gamefowl — birds originally bred for endurance, courage, and elegance. Today, these compact beauties are prized for exhibition, ornamental flocks, and their bold, confident charm around the yard.
Appearance:
The Golden Duckwing variety displays exquisite coloration. Males have a shimmering golden hackle and saddle feathers that contrast beautifully with a silver-white head and shoulders. Their breast and tail feathers are rich black with a deep green sheen, while the wings feature a mix of gold, black, and white. Females are equally attractive, with soft golden necks and a delicate pattern of light brown and silver tones across the body. Both sexes have bright red combs, wattles, and faces, along with clean yellow legs and a proud, upright posture that highlights their confident nature.
Temperament:
Despite their gamebird heritage, Golden Duckwing Old English Game Bantams are friendly and alert when raised with gentle handling. Roosters tend to be protective and showy, often strutting and crowing proudly, while hens are calm, curious, and social. They’re intelligent, active, and love to free-range — foraging for insects and exploring their surroundings.
Egg Production:
Hens lay small, creamy-white eggs, averaging 2–4 per week, and are known to go broody easily. Their strong mothering instincts make them reliable setters and attentive mothers, often raising their chicks with care and vigilance.
Size and Weight:
These bantams are true miniatures of their large gamefowl ancestors.
- Rooster: ~22–24 oz (620–680 g)
- Hen: ~20–22 oz (570–620 g)
Care and Hardiness:
Golden Duckwing Old English Game Bantams are hardy birds that adapt well to various climates when given proper shelter. They thrive best with space to roam and prefer well-ventilated coops. Their small size and strong wings make them excellent flyers, so secure enclosures are recommended.
