I also free range and about the only breeds I've had success with are gamefowl, sumatras, and brown leghorns; however, even with these breeds, I've found that I need to get my chicks in the spring because late-summer and fall chicks aren't mature enough to withstand the cold temps and increased...

Thank you so much for your response. Yes, I am happy to have roosters with some gamefowl qualities...minus the fighting spirit. Out of curiosity, are hatchery gamefowl cockerels/roosters capable of living together in peace?

Here are some of Buddy's "brothers" from the same source. Their combs are pretty wonky and I think they have more of an oriental look, though I'm certainly no expert. As mentioned before, I'm not exactly sure what I have here, so any thoughts on their breeding are much appreciated. Thanks!

Greetings, gamefowl lovers! It's been some months since I posted about my five not-so-ferocious gamefowl (I think) roosters. Everyone is still getting along beautifully, which I know is highly abnormal...so...I am questioning whether I have pure gamefowl or mixes. Here is Buddy, my favorite of...

All I've seen so far between the gamefowl roosters is an occasional VERY brief chase. On the other hand, I have seen a couple or so actual (but once again, VERY brief) fights between the gamefowl and bantam roosters, but someone always backs down. Strange, I know...

Thanks, everyone, for your help. I have also considered the possibilities that my roosters are either slow maturing or just plain lacking the drive they were bred for. I will continue to keep a watchful eye on the situation, but at this point in time, I am leaning more toward the second...

Hello, everyone! I have five gamefowl roosters, all approximately 1 year old, in my free-range flock. I have had them for 6 months and they were approximately 6 months old when I got them. It appears they were raised together from hatch and so far, they are living together in harmony, at times...

Hi, Aaron! I haven't been on here much lately and JUST noticed your two-month-old post on my bulletin board. I am so sorry! So, how have you been? I hear you're going to have a handsome new drake soon. I hope you enjoy your new feathered friend. I love your profile pic, by the way. God bless!

Amari, I was thinking the same thing...cat poop! That is just way TOO FUNNY! Nathan, we will definitely hatch "lings" someday. Babies from Ling the Wheaton Ameraucana, that is. ;-) I've got my heart set on some bantam Olive Eggers.

Congratulations, Nathan! Your awesome new camera really captures all the interesting colors and details of your ducks' lovely plumage. They are so beautiful! Snuggles in particular is drool-worthy! You ALMOST make me want to hatch some mallard mixes from our little duck flock, but I think we'll...

Well, congratulations on your spirit badge! You truly deserve it, but then again, I'm not BIASED or anything...

This freedom-loving conservative is gonna miss you, ralphie. ;-(

I enjoy a good laugh as much as the next person, but the truth is, these are perilous times for our country. So, back to seriousness... The way I see it, "We the People" are living under the crushing weight of an intrusive, controlling, corrupt, unrestrained monstrosity called the "federal...

I stand corrected. That is so stinkin' HILLARY-OUS!!!

Speaking of Bad Lip Reading... https://youtu.be/v75wCTMZoSY https://youtu.be/ROBTDSK46aU

That reminds me, has anyone been watching those Bad Lip Reading videos of the presidential debates? Oh my gosh! I think my daughter and I have some of them completely memorized. Mindless, oh yeah, but SO FUNNY!

Oh my gosh, my husband JUST told me about that! So stinkin' HILARIOUS!!!

If you haven't done so already, you can go to their campaign websites and read up on their proposed policies and stance on "the issues." It takes quite some time to click on all those links, but I think it's worth it. Hope this helps!

Ethan, thank you for sharing the story of your lovely Sierra! She could have searched the world and never found a more loving home than yours. And by the way, that's a fabulous picture of you both. :-) Keep the stories coming!

Yes!!!
