American Gamefowl

You gotta try harder than that. That’s like the first one that pops up with a “4th of July meme” search. The standards have gone down around this joint.

I thought it was funny

I’d find some hatch if you wanted something that looks like the jungle fowl or some Peruvian blood

I have tried hatching eggs , waste of money with my luck.
I practiced hatching my own eggs so I know it ain't my technique.

I think he was talking about a breed of gamefowl- Hatch is a family usually green legged and they are red fowl.

Yeah I was lol. But In all honesty the gamefowl breed in general does well in the woods hence being “game” birds. Not mixed with laying stock

No matter what kind of gamefowl you have they will all be killed eventually by something if you don’t trap. If you wait til you lose a bird you’re way behind and will be playing catch up. At the very least you’ll lose enough to where you’ll figure free ranging isn’t worth it.

It’s way worse if you allow hens and chicks to be loose 24/7. I’ve shot two more possums the past two days plus the 3 raccoons. The last possum was only 20ft from a hen with 8 chicks on the ground. It’s not a good plan unless you’re a light sleeper and don’t mind running around shooting in the middle of the night.

I agree with that 110% keep traps set at all times and catch them before they catch chickens. I’ve been lucky so far but I don’t hesitate when it comes to the birds to pop a cap in something lol

Hey! They look related, could it be?!
I'm keeping my fingers crossed, maybe...some chicks in a few weeks
