Old English bantams were developed in England many years ago presumably from the common crossbred bantams of the countryside. Self Blue Old English bantam chicks are solid gray with bluish tint. The down on the top of the head and back is dark while the wing tip, abdomen and chest down is lighter. They have single combs and clean, bluish gray feet and legs. The adult plumage is solid, light blue or powder blue throughout.
