Description

The Red Pyle Standard Old English Chicks from Valley Hatchery present an enchanting visual display with their stunning red and white plumage, a blend that captures the eyes and hearts of poultry enthusiasts. Acknowledged by the American Standard of Perfection since 1938, these chickens are not only a delight to behold but also hold a prestigious place in the poultry world. Each bird boasts an upright and confident stance, complemented by a straight comb and pearl-colored legs, embodying a unique blend of beauty and strength. Rooted in a rich history, the Old English Game, from which these chickens descend, has origins tracing back to the ancient cockfighting birds introduced to Great Britain by the Romans in the 1st century. Despite the ban on cockfighting in 1849, the admiration for these birds persisted, transitioning into poultry shows where attributes beyond fighting prowess were celebrated. This transition highlights the adaptability and enduring appeal of breeds like the Old English Game. Characterized by their spirited nature, these birds are known for their aggressive temperament and vocal presence, alongside their compact and robust physique. The Red Pyle Standard Old English is a hardy breed, adaptable to various conditions, and is known for its significant contribution to the development of other chicken breeds. The hens from this breed are productive layers, offering around 120 eggs annually, and are noted for their impressive lifespan, often living up to 15 years. In addition to the Standard variety, Valley Hatchery takes pride in offering these magnificent birds in bantam varieties, catering to a diverse range of poultry enthusiasts. With their long history, remarkable features, and enduring appeal, the Red Pyle Standard Old English Chicks are more than just chickens; they are a testament to the beauty and resilience of the avian world.
