Hatcheries do not yet carry American gamefowl, and i hope they never do. Orientals are the only ones who should not have wattles and if so the wattles (and comb) should be very small. I told OP the other day they were probably hatches, but it is hard to say lines wise or if they are even pure without knowing who/where they came from. The person who sold them the birds called them Wheaten Old English, so most likely the name of them are lost. However as long as you like the birds, doesn't matter, give 'em your own name like all the old timers.
There are cases though (rare), where the Asils and thai i know (also think brazilian) will throw back "Sambas" which are single combed birds with wattles and all. Completely ugly on them i think, but some people like them.
