About the Black-Red Old English Game
The black-red is the classic and most familiar Old English Game colour: cocks carry a brilliant orange-red to mahogany hackle, back and saddle over a glossy black breast, tail and underparts, while partridge-marked or wheaten-bodied hens show salmon breasts. Recognised in both the Carlisle and Oxford standards, it is the benchmark wild-type game pattern on this hard-feathered heritage fowl.
