Chiky's game pen thread.

Do you think there are other breeds that aren't necessarily game breeds but I should still include?

Egyptian Fayoumi, & Black Sumatra are a couple. Some still consider Sumatra Gamefowl though.

I was thinking about doing Fayoumis in this project last night. Most of the birds I buy for this project will be hatchery quality. The most I would spend is on the RJF. Is it okay for them to be hatchery quality?

Yes, it's where I started with my first projects.

Okay, thanks. I think I will start with an OEG(B) rooster or a mix of one with some of my game mix hens. I know they don't have a good body type, but I'm sure I will get some decent game type when I breed them back.

You're welcome.
Possibly.
