American Gamefowl

[Don 27]

I don’t think crosses are an issue at all. Crossing gamefowl with layers and silkies is kinda ridiculous though. It’s kinda like driving a fast car but never getting past 2nd gear. Kinda pointless unless you’re just harvesting them for food.

That's what was getting at . They don't lay very many eggs and aren't exactly show quality.



Reminds me of how my wife drives..

To be fair I don't think silkies are very cute anyway

To be honest, I don't get it either.

Nice little pen setup though just needs a little adding on to. Which is no big deal, but I also wouldn't feel safe with gamefowl that close together sounds like you'll get it straightened out.

Sand works drains pretty well I've got it in my barrels for cords,straw, horse manure mix, etc etc like Billy said even leaves and grass will do just fine. It's all in what ya wanna do theirs guys that use other stuff too.

I’ve got enough plywood scrap left over I’m gonna rip some 1ft strips down today that way there’s about a foot of wire left for air to circulate and I may drop the roosts down just a fuzz I almost cut them 3ft high to begin with but changed my mind mid ways now after all the suggestions and thinking I’m definitely gonna do it. These birds mean to much to me to watch them tear the hell out of there self on hardware cloth lol

I know you're making modifications, of course we want to see when you get that done!

Curious as to overall dimensions of your build and size of each pen. I do like that.

That looks better to my untrained eye. I hope it works out for you!

I put them both side by side and they got up on the roosts but couldn’t see each other. They do like the dome pens better though I beleive.

Already getting hot here! LOL Yep, I'm going to start complaining now!
It was 42 this morning and now it's 83! Temp swings like that are hard on birds.
