About the Black Old English Game

An entirely black bird with a rich green or beetle sheen across the hard, tight game plumage, the Black is one of the self (solid-colour) Old English Game varieties. Recognised in the Oxford standard, it shows off the breed's muscular, upstanding build in a single uniform colour rather than a patterned one.
