AMERICAN GAME BANTAM

Product Description

A BRIEF HISTORY

This breed is developed in the United States from the old-time pit game bantam. It is similar in appearance to the Old English Game bantam but slightly larger, and the cocks’ tails feature a semi-heart-shaped curve that the Old English Game cock may or may not sport. Both Old English and American Games have a small single comb, but the American Game cockerel on exhibit must be dubbed to avoid disqualification, while the Old English cockerel may be shown undubbed.

The American Game comes in several color varieties, although not nearly as many as the Old English Game, and unlike the Old English is a true bantam, with no larger counterpart. American Game hens, like Old English hens lay eggs with slightly tinted shells and brood easily.
