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.

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 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.

Here are my rescue gamefowl types, Coco and Snickers

I just checked out Kelso hens, they are a type of gamefowl that look similar to yours, but they have orange eyes.

She is an American game fowl. Strain ?

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

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.
