I have some gamefowls hens that I acquired here and there and don't know their history. I bought two gamefowl roosters to breed them with a few days ago and I want to breed them with the roosters that share closer genetics. I don't think any of my hens or roosters are pure breed but they do seem to lean more heavily one way the or the other.
I have two hens which I believe to be of the American Grey variety and four that I think are of the Black Breasted Red variety.
Here are the hens I think are American Greys
Here are the hens I think are Black Breasted Reds
This rooster was sold to me as an American Grey Stag
I bought this rooster from the same person I bought the Grey Stag from and they said it was a Gamefowl rooster, but I do not remember what type they said it was (I was really only interested in the Grey Stag, but this one was too pretty to pass up).
After looking through endless pictures trying to determine the breed of the above rooster, it does appear that he might have some Black Breasted Red in him. My thought is to breed the four that I think are Black Breasted Reds with him and the two I believe to be American Greys with the Grey Stag. But since I have no earthly idea what I am talking about, because all I have done is looked at random information and pictures I have found on the internet, I would like to hear a more experienced opinion on the subject.
