A very flighty, curious bird always into new findings. But not a heavy egg layer.

Latest reviews

Pros: Decent layers, broody,
I have a rather positive review.
Our chicks were friendly and curious with the pullets flying up on our shoulders. We had a decent amount of predator pressure and got down to 3. The roosters are gorgeous but can be fairly aggressive but it’s a game fowl. Our hen is not extremely flighty and let’s us catch her with not much difficult. She lays 3-5 eggs a week so more than we expected. We have hatched out some of her chicks and ended up with 2 cockerels and 5 pullets.
Overall we do like them especially the pullets
Pros: great forager with self preservation instincts - never far from cover, always stays close to other chickens
Cons: none - provided you know they are ornamental game fowl.
the cockerels are stunning, and are in command as flock leaders. Mine being raised in a bachelor group, but access to pullets and full flock during ranging activities. Very impressed with the breed.
Pros: Great mothers good foragers and protective cocks
Cons: Aren't ment for egg seeking people
Flarry eyed grays are quite beutiful and inteligent birds they will forage for themselfs like any other gamefowl can,
They are good birds for game breeders who want a beutiful and USEFUL bird. I would recomend this bird to anyone who is willing to take good care of it.

Personally, I've never heard of them. That one in your picture looks suspiciously like that of an Easter Egger.....
 
The Flerry Eye'd greys are a strain of toppy American Gamefowl. Not real common, but an alright strain to have if you can convince someone who has them to sell them, most will not.
 
I do not think they deserve this bad of a review, especially not when it's based off of what you've heard . I recently acquired two chicks and have had them for 3 weeks and they are not flighty, they are very people friendly and love being around us and getting belly rubs. And all gamefowl are supposed to be aggressive to other roosters, you didn't specify if you meant aggressive to people or other roosters so I will assume what other people have to you was meant in regards to how they are towards other Roos.
 
And serrin that is most definitely not an Easter egger and they are definitely out there
