    Self Sufficient Breeding vs. Dual Purpose Breeding

    There's still plantain, clover, and many other things that grow here throughout the winter. Plus, I imagine they're still finding worms, and various other insects that survive in the ground and under leaves in the winter. Like I said before, game chickens have a natural ability to survive on...

    I don't want straight comb chickens in my blood lines. Plus, I'm on the lookout for bigger pea combed game chickens that are black.

    Self Sufficient Breeding vs. Dual Purpose Breeding

    I'm trying that too, but pea combed game chickens are a little smaller for the most part then straight comb game chickens. My goal is black, pea comb or rose comb. I've got some 3/4 game chicks that I'm excited about, and can't wait to see how they turn out. I had some black ameraurcanas, and...

    Self Sufficient Breeding vs. Dual Purpose Breeding

    Answer me this....How did chickens survive since God created them? There have always been predators of all kinds for every animal, but they've all survived through the centuries. God didn't create the dependant domestic chickens, man did. That's why I'm sticking with the ones man hasn't...

    Self Sufficient Breeding vs. Dual Purpose Breeding

    The extra size I'm talking about is maybe 8 ounces. That's just something I'm experimenting with. My main flock is pure game. As for what my birds eat in the winter, not be smart alicky, but I really don't know. I just see them constantly foraging. Game chickens have built in survival skills...

    Self Sufficient Breeding vs. Dual Purpose Breeding

    I didn't with you because you were being arrogant, and saying that you doubt I can do what I've done for years. I don't deal with disrespectful people like you. Show respect and you'll get respect. Plus, I didn't want and rave or make wild accusations...that was you. So, I basically kicked your...

    Self Sufficient Breeding vs. Dual Purpose Breeding

    There's a guy YouTube who has what you're calling Gypsy Chickens. He calls them Jungle Fowl. I've noticed that Cackle Hatchery is now selling Jungle Fowl chicks. When I look at them, they are basically game chickens. We're working on getting our whole place fenced, and cross fenced, and...

    Self Sufficient Breeding vs. Dual Purpose Breeding

    Well, mine are going to be in several acre sections, with lots of room. So, they're not so apt to be trying to fly over an 8 foot high fence. I'm sure I'll have an occasional one get out, but that's part of it. No body would do it huh? Well I'm very sorry to spoil your perfect record of knowing...

    Self Sufficient Breeding vs. Dual Purpose Breeding

    Sorry, I didn't answer your question, but yes I'm trying to add a little more meat and size, while still maintaining the self sufficiency of the game chickens. I've got several crosses going, and yes, I'll be selective cross breeding my crosses in various ways.

    Self Sufficient Breeding vs. Dual Purpose Breeding

    I've just started getting several pure breeds also that I'm establishing besides my pure game chickens. Like yourself, I plan to sell pure breeds, to foot the bill for my experiments of my different crosses. I'm incubating, several crosses, and trying to fast tract to 3/4 and 7/8 game blood. I'm...

    Self Sufficient Breeding vs. Dual Purpose Breeding

    I understand 100 percent everything your saying, and yes lots of chicks don't make it for one reason or another. However, many do make it, especially if you have a large flock, fencing, and protective dogs. I've never looked at our game chickens as feral, just because we didn't feed them and let...

    Self Sufficient Breeding vs. Dual Purpose Breeding

    I've seen his videos. They are game chickens, and they survive on their own. He's penned some and is doing some breeding, and incubating eggs etc... just like I'm doing. The fact is, game chickens can survive on their own. I'm just trying to add a little more size, while maintaining the self...

    Self Sufficient Breeding vs. Dual Purpose Breeding

    Why would I even want to reply to you, since you basically said you doubt that I'm doing what I'm doing, and what I've done for years? Don't call someone a liar and then ask how. Since, you obviously know it all, there's nothing for me to educate you about.

    Self Sufficient Breeding vs. Dual Purpose Breeding

    My post explained perfectly what I've done for years that is self sufficient, and that I'm trying to add a more size to them while maintaining the self sufficiency of the game chickens. People have doubted that what I'm doing with game chickens for almost 60 isn't so. That's calling me a liar...

    Go back and read his words...he said he Doubts it! Only people who are city folks turned want to be homesteaders, doubt what they can't learn from a YouTube video. I imagine the guy doesn't have any idea of what a game chicken is. Those of us who have raised them all our lives, just let our hens...

    It's a total shame how our country was founded in The Lord, and faith in Christ was the Majority. Sadly.... now they curse him, and try to control us and turn us against him and our faith.... what a shame...
