The Oxford Old English Game is an ancient breed of chicken, originating from Britain. They were officially recognised when The Old English Game Club split, creating two breeds of English Game Chicken. They are primarily farmed for meat but have been used for cock fighting and eggs on a domestic scale. ==History== The breed was first mentioned in the middle ages, when the English nobility selectively bred them for cockfighting.〔 The Old English Game has been recognised in Great Britain since the 19th Century and is thought to be a descendant of the ancient fighting cocks. It is likely that they were the first selectively bred breed of chicken in Britain for fighting purposes. To prevent damage during fights, the comb and wattles were removed. This also gave the birds a more aggressive appearance. This practise is known as ''dubbing''. Cockfighting has been banned in Britain since 1849, the breed is still popular as an ornamental fowl and a domestic chicken.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=https://www.omlet.co.uk/breeds/chickens/old+english+game/ )〕 When The Old English Game Club split in the 1930s two types of Old English Game were created, The Carlisle and The Oxford. The Carlisle has different qualities from the Oxford, such as being heavier, having a larger breast and a horizontal back.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.poultryclub.org/breed-gallery/chickens/hard-feather/ )〕
