Love my Old English Game!
I ordered a few of the Old English game and they are some of the most beautiful birds at the farm! Since you can’t choose the sex, I ended up with two pullets and two stags (which was perfect!) They arrived happy and healthy and I didn’t lose one chick…very happy with my purchase and I look forward to ordering more next year!
