Another Breed question. Someone said she is a Kelso.

[familyov8]

Anyone know about this breed, a group on Facebook says she a Kelso. She is a bully to my 7 Barred Rocks, then attacked my new rooster when he got introduced but he put her in line. She is sitting on another new hens eggs and then pecked at them when I tried to grab them, and destroyed one before I was able to get her out of the nesting box.

Take everything I say with a grain of salt, but I believe that Kelsos are a strain of American Game. Usually physical traits don't differentiate the strains, rather their breeding based on perpetuating certain fighting skills. It seems that Kelsos can have varying physical traits, but a common one is white or yellow legs which she has. If you were told she is a Kelso, I see no reason to question it

She looks to be an American gamefowl of sorts. I’m not well versed enough in the gamefowl world to know what kind.

@roosterhavoc may be able to help.

she is a gamefowl-type chicken!
Here are my rescue gamefowl types, Coco and Snickers

She looks like a Dom Gamefowl. Doms have two leg colors, yellow, & white. Combs vary between pea, & Single combs.

Dom is another name for gamefowl with the barring gene. They would be crele looking. I believe that dom is short for Dominique and is more of a color description and it's considered a "less-desirable" color. Kelsos also come in pea or single combs with white or yellow legs. I am really thinking Kelso seems the most likely because they're also a common strain

Doms are barred AGF. There really is no way to know for sure what strain of AGF you have, or if it is a noted strain at all, unless the birds are sold by the breeder as such.

Unless you bought her specifically as a Kelso, I would just call her an American game fowl. She is a really nice specimen and would make a great broody if you want to hatch your own chicks.

https://www.backyardchickens.com/re...elso fowl are a variety,being a Kelso by CUDA.

Sounds like they're a type of game fowl? Never heard of these specifically before but sounds about right for game fowl : D

She is an American game fowl. Strain ?

Also want to add, everything I'm finding is just based on my own research, I am no expert by any means on gamefowl! I'm learning as I go
