Does anyone know what kind of game breed they could be? or what mix they might be? Also wondering about genders? 2 have a little crest like the one up front and the one one you cant even notice a crest? any guess would be great

They definitely have Shamo in them. But they are mixes for sure- yet very beautiful. 

 

It's the shape that makes the breed, and the color that makes the variety.

JerseyGiantfolk, what makes you say Shamo rather than Asil or Malay mix? Just wondering about any subtle differences in the breeds, and where the crests might have come from. And SaintsGirl, if you post some up-close comb shots I bet we could sex all of them!

They look very similar to a Malay I had some time back. She was a bit lighter in color, but same general shape.

The ones I see most commonly around here are Shamos' and Aseels'. But you're right Mysunwolf, it could be any of those breeds.

looked up the different breeds but they all look very similar to me lol. My husband brought these home so.... he.gif

I was trying to upload more pictures but somehow I think the uploader changed again? So its not letting me upload.

I will try to upload later to see if it works. but somehow I think they are 2 boys and a girl. We are very very new to game fowl

so any little bit helps. Thanks :)
