Blue Standard Old English

If you’ve been looking for the perfect Old English game fowl to take home, the professionals at Hatchery® are here to help. We’ve been developing several different varieties of this chicken for more than 30 years, including the Blue Standard Old English. This specific variety features black-slate colored legs, a straight comb, and a medium/high station. These birds live long, are very hardy, and make great brooding mothers. Whether you want a standard sized chicken or one of our miniature versions, you can place your order today! Feel free to contact Hatchery® if you would like any more information. This is an excellent choice for someone to have a free-range flock of poultry (1 male and 10 hens). This flock will have a better chance of evading predators than most other poultry breeds. The hens make good brooding mothers for sitting on the eggs and hatching the baby chicks and raising them.
