It would be impossible to tell you what blood lines you have. We could guess as to what they might have in them by looks. But only the person that bred them would know. Lots of game fowl come green leg in fact most hatch do. The hatch blood line were kinda named after the man that started them Sanford hatch. American gamefowl is the ( breed) hatch is the blood line . Also each bloodlines breaks down even further like Billy rubble hatch, harold brown hatch, blue face hatch and on and on. Catch what I'm saying but your fowl do look good. For a good stag $50-75 cockerell $100 pullet $25-50 hen $50-75 but even at that price it's still hard because you don't know what you really have. Some can even go as high as $1500 trio.

Close,


American gamefowl is the type (of chicken) like layer
Hatch would be breed like Orpington
Ruble would be the Bloodline (family)

And like said above other than normal traits or characteristics like leg/feather color, station, comb type etc. You really are at the mercy of the breeder to be truthful in what they tell you they have, which in the gamefowl world unfortunately have alot of peddlers. Anybody can call anything what they want with the exception of calling a grey a hatch due to the extreme color difference. Is what I'm saying is if the peddler knows anything about games they can say what they want and you have no way of knowing any different. I wouldn't put too much trust in someone whom I didn't personally know.

I got them from basically an estate sale. I do an egg layer flock. I keep one American game, she is slightly larger then these but I keep her for sitting on clutches. She is a fantastic mother (has even adopted chicks from my incubator AFTER she was attacked by dog and I wasn't even sure she would make it!) She ended up recovering and not only took her own young back, but took care of 20 something chicks total wanna say it was like 23 could of been 26 chicks though. It was amazing. I still have her. And plan to keep her and I have seven of her half breed babies (two male five female)

Anyways,the man who raised them passed away and a distant friend of family was helping to sell every thing and they had zero information on them. He lived in Bradyville Tennessee for whatever that is worth. He had all of them separated into four pens. Each set had a rooster. I didn't take the first rooster I posted but the red/brown one I did. I liked his streamers. The last rooster over there looked to be Oriental maybe a cross. That was who the black and wheaten bird were housed with. Some of their heads have a round appearance to them and some of them don't. Does that mean anything?

I tried mixes some of the hens but the little black birds were pretty brutal on a couple of them so I took them out.

I see no wheaton

Is that not what the pattern is called for the brown ones without white spots?

Those black hens look like grades, maybe down to a quarter?
