Can anyone identify this chicken breed please?

Many game males are not tolerant of other males. Other than that, I think they're not much different

My two are bottom of the pecking order, roosters are known for not being tolerable to each other, but I have seen people on here(don’t remember who) complaining that people only think that they are aggressive because they were(are) raised for cockfighting, and that they had roosters who were fine with each other. Kind of like pit bulls being known for being aggress due to being bred for dogfighting. The hens are not know for being aggressive though as far as I know. Also, there are no stupid questions. That was a very reasonable question, asking questions that others know the answer to is how we learn.

Thank you both! Sorry for the dumb question: but what is a "game bird"?

A gamebird is a wild bird native to the United States and hunted for sport and to consume with or without the use of a dog like a pointer. Examples include partridge, ringneck pheasant, quail, chuckar etc

oooh - so it's not that the bird is "gamey" or something, (or that it is used in cockfights which is a "game"?) but that the hunting of it is a "game"? I'd never thought about the term "game" (in this context) before either....
