About the Wheaten Rumpless Game
Wheaten describes the hen's soft, creamy wheat-coloured body with lighter wings and tail, while the cock keeps the dark black-red type breast and tail over rich red hackle and saddle. On this rare British bantam the colour sits on a hard-feathered, gamey body that lacks the tailbone entirely, giving the breed its rounded, tailless rear. A recognised game colour in the Rumpless Game, an Old-English-Game-derived exhibition bird laying a few tinted eggs.
