Let's please keep this thread on a positive note? I've had a few threads closed due to negativity, & I don't want to keep doing so.

I'm not just going to borrow birds. It's a risk of bringing in diseases.

Malay are fine, I'd rather use them. Once I can set up for it, I may get some other games. Just a little bit limited on what I can do at the moment.

Thinking brown, or pastel green.

Where is that information? Mine seems to hold true with the whole breeding season agression. He killed my other Sumatra cockerel, & will occasionally attack me.

Old Thread, but still useful. It's a short one.

Sumatras were never true Games, they were captured during mating season, & fought. After the breeding season was over they were released.

Why?

Explain the Cubalaya?

Rhode Island Reds also have Malay in their ancestry, but were bred away from the Gamefowl characteristics.

Technically they'd still be considered Gamefowl if Gamefowl is in their Heritage, & if they resemble Gamefowl. Modern Games are a good example of this. They were created by breeding Malay, with Old English Games.

@sdm111, wanna follow along? Won't be starting the project yet.

This is a bit off topic, but a curious question. If you mix different colored Ameraucanas together, would they still be considered Ameraucanas, or Easter Eggers?

The breeds I have are also very cold, & heat hardy. I know Malays are poor layers from all the research I've done, but egg Production hadn't been an interest of mine. Red JungleFowl hybrids are Decent Layers, get an egg almost every day from them. Sumatras, aren't that great at laying, I get...

To me, the perfect chicken, doesn't exist. Nothing is perfect.

Sounds good. I'm still brainstorming this one. Trying to figure out what I want to use, & what order I want to breed them. I have a Sumatra pullet, but haven't gotten updated pictures of her yet, so I just included the cockerel instead of both birds.

Traits I want are: Good Flier, Flock Defender, Free Ranger, cold/heat hardy, decent table bird, decent egg layer, & good broodies. I have a few breeds with these traits that can be used, but want to keep the limit of birds used in the 2-3 range.

Hello, I'm planning to breed my own Gamefowl breed some day. Thinking about removing the enhanced fighting instinct for this breed. This is a reboot of my last thread. My other thread on making a new Gamefowl breed, with the idea of keeping the enhanced fighting instinct got taken out of...
