I agree; but I would say it may be possible for the offspring to be larger given genetics would play into effect. The parents may be small, but they could throw large offspring (especially if the birds are from two separate lines), or the parents could be large but throw slower growing offspring...

Mine were, from my understanding they all are. They were a landrace that wouldn't have survived I don't imagine without the broody nature, unless they would happen to lay their eggs under other feral birds/hens to be surrogate mothers. they aren't the type to go broody all of the time like you...

I had the Ideal Fayoumi's long ago, I will say I'm not one for flighty birds really but they were neat little birds; I thought of trying them again but doubt I ever will. I like them more than the Campines I've seen, not sure why even though they be similar (guess it could be Campines being...

'tis the method I use. Works well for me. God bless, Daniel.

Arielle, long story short: These birds were developed in the Netherlands/Germany around the early 1800's as a game breed for fighting purposes, because of that there are a lot of different types of gamefowl in the heritage namely: Malay, Old English, Combattant Du Nord (French gamefowl)...

few Kraienköppe cockerels. Bad photos, but it isn't real easy as all but two (only one pictured) cockerels are free ranging, and are a tad flighty. Firstly, the two pea combed ones: I call this one "Jap", as when you see him well in person I think he resembles a lot of American game X Oriental...

Yeah, not sure if I've read much on them either. Look kind of like a White rock at first glance. Just to join in, as I don't think I have really posted on this thread but once as I didn't really have a "rare breed" (except Shamo to an extent) I just started with Kraienköppe this year.. Might...

Quote: Sumatras are surely an old breed. There is no doubt they have changed through the years though. All you have to do is look at recent birds and those in pictures from 150 years ago. One way is cut 'em open . Probably as red as any other bird now, but from what I heard the true, original...

Quote: Looks good brother, I do see the resemblance to Miss Julia's stock.. I'd really like to get some new blood from someone who has it once my finances get better. -Daniel

Quote: Even the cocks sometimes she doesn't like colors attached to, it's really interesting. When I saw her henny I was just slightly curious, so I asked the question "I know color's on Shamo aren't important, but what color would you call that?" I received the reply somewhere along the lines...

Quote: From the info I've received about Shamos from a big time breeder, someone who has studied Shamo fowl very deeply and even has been to Japan.. No, Shamo do not breed true. A lot of Oriental gamefowl now do breed true to colors due to a lot of breeding based primarily on color, in Japan...

Quote: To my limited knowledge of the Ga Noi's, Ga Don is a upright, large bird sometimes possessing a nakedneck (it is quite often, but I've seen some without too). They have a shorter tail generally, and from what I've seen they have more of a prominent eyebrow as well, similar to Shamo's...

I raise the Shamo's as well.. Wanting to get some Kraienkoeppe's going, but will see. -Daniel
