backyardchickens.com is the site suggested above....

We have half American game, half brahma and half American game, half RIRs running the yard right now. You have a good 4-6 months or longer before a pure game rooster will turn on his brothers if free ranged. Cross them with barnyard birds and you possibly have longer. Infusing gamefowl will add hybrid vigor, health and vitality and some beautiful color combinations to your flock. Taming can be done if you take the time. Letting her freerange all the time and think that giving a "treat" will tame her is absurd. The easiest way to tame her down would be to pen her so that you are feeding her and handling her every day. Some will remain aprehensive, but if you are her sole provider she will more than likely come around. You will never be able to rid her of her "gamefowlness", but right now I have a freeranged hen that will fly up and perch on my shoulder while I feed the yard, some are just a little more personable than others. If you have any questions concerning gamefowl feel free to email or pm me. I've been around them for over 30 years and am more than happy to teach others and help dispel myths and untruths about these beautiful birds.

What does the game influence do to the eggs,, or production time?

Adding the gamefowl to the mix, you will possibly lose some production and egg size, but I prefer eating the game eggs to the production breeds anyways. The games are good layers in season, but won't lay all year like your production birds, which also means that they will lay for more years, whereas the production breeds tend to "burn out". Our pullets lay a few in the fall when they begin to mature, and lay more regularly starting in late winter and early spring, then lay right up to the molt. They are great to cook with, more yolk, less white

compared to the big production eggs.
