Achieving that feral look

Date sort Score sort
Since American Games are not really bred to a standard. You should be able to find what you are looking for in them. A BBR cock can very from a bright vibrant orange to a dark wine red. Along with the eye appeal comes the intolerance of other cocks. I am presuming that you are probably not extremely concerned with egg production. For like feral chickens they do not lay all year long.

Thank you so much for replying. I’ve researched a lot about American games and they seem to make up the majority of most feral chickens seen across the world and I’m not really a fan of the extra aggressiveness that they portray but I do love their colors and I’m definitely not concerned with egg production or meat production as I’m not planning to use chickens for either of those things I would just like a bird with that vibrant and non-conforming color.
 
When you say "blue factor" are you talking about irridesence?

Pure-bred RJF do not exist any more.... or so they say. But, birds that look almost exactly like RJF are available and advertised as RJF.

There are chickens with much more irridesence than RJF.

RJF are not the only chickens that can go feral but feral chickens tend to be somewhat lanky and athletic to escape predators.

I would love if they bred enough of the look alike to make a mock breed but they seem more like flukes

Not really flukes. They do breed true to type but may be missing characteristics like the RJF eclipse plumage.

The hens have a particular almost camouflaged look. Neither roosters nor hens are as large or heavy-bodied as modern standard size breeds.
