Crele Standard Old English

We offer a wide range of Standard Old English game fowls available, including the Crele Standard Old English. This variety is one of 18 that we offer, and the breed in general is one of the oldest in existence. These chickens are known for their vigor and gameness, and they generally live a very long time. While we recommend separating the males, the hens are a great choice if you’re in need of a brooding mother for hatching and raising chicks. The Crele Standard Old English has a straight comb and pearl leg color, and we also have a miniature version available. For more details about this poultry breed contact Hatchery® today!
