About the Black Rumpless Game

A self colour: solid black throughout, ideally with a green or beetle sheen in good light, the single recognised tone showing off the breed's hard, gamey lines. Like all Rumpless Game it lacks the tailbone entirely, giving the rounded, tailless rear and upright stance. Black is one of the colours accepted under the breed standard for this rare British exhibition bantam, descended from Old English Game and laying a few tinted eggs.
