We are so pleased to offer Old English Game Bantam trios from long-time Master Breeder Don Bischof. True to the spirit of their sporting history, Don’s birds are muscular, deep, and alert – commonly referred to as “gameness” among breeders. Small and easy to handle, these birds are suitable for both 4-H and FFA project work as well as the serious breeder and exhibitor. Don is offering Old English Game trios in Black, White, and Brown Red. Other colors are periodically available so if there is a particular color you seek let us know. Don takes pride in the fact that his birds are competitive anywhere in North America, and each bird is handled multiple times by Don as they grow to ensure that the birds that are shipped meet his stringent quality criteria. Old English Game Bantams are normally shipped January through April, and the exact ship date will depend upon availability of the birds and agreeable weather conditions.
Old English Game Bantam Adult
Young adult birds are generally shipped October through May and may be shipped at other times, weather permitting. With adult birds you know you’re getting birds that have gone through our rigorous selection process and will be the best genetics we have to offer. As birds are produced in small numbers from premium stock, stock is limited, and availability may depend on how well the birds are producing. We do not keep a waitlist, so birds are shipped in the order they are paid.
Birds are shipped USPS Express Mail to the lower 48 states and Alaska. We ship each Tuesday, and a specific shipping date will be confirmed when the birds are ready to ship. The tracking number will be communicated after the birds have shipped, and we ask that you let us know when they arrive. Any loss as the result of shipping will be managed via the USPS insurance program and replacements will be shipped when they come available. We do not offer shipping refunds for shipments that arrive past the scheduled delivery time. Bird purchases are not refundable.
In preparation for receiving your new birds, we encourage you to have cage space ready with fresh shavings. It is a good idea to contact your local post office the week of shipment to let them know you are expecting a shipment of live birds an ask them to call you as soon as the birds arrive to save them time in transit. Newly arrived birds will benefit from electrolytes in their water.
