Developing my own breeds of gamefowl and bantam

Pics
Sorry it took me so long.
First of all the first batch of birds are doing great there’s 6 left and they look fantastic so far, i need to get some pictures of them. The OEGBs are also doing good as far as I can tell for the whites there are 2 roosters 4 hens, also that last incubator batch only had 2 hatch that were 75 RJF 25 AGF they also seem to be doing good. Lastly we got 2 hens with chicks first H1 with 6 of her own and 5 from the 1/2 American game hen off the Bruges. Then one of the jungle fowl hatched out 9 pure chicks so a lot going on, I’m excited to watch these chicks grow. I will try to get some pics of the older chicks soon

Alrighty time for a bit of an update.

heres the most recent picture of the six they look pretty much the same now just a bit bigger the two RJF in there have given me a scale of how big they’ll be and the project pullets seem to be about twice the size of the rjf pullet so i think they’ll be some good sized birds. The hen hatched project chicks are also looking good only thing is all the rjf type birds are green legged the possible parents are all blue legged so that’s an odd thing but hopefully I can get some blue legged birds by crossing them.
Right now I plan on not free ranging this generation of keepers which as of now it looks like I may get 4 or 5 pullets and 1 or 2 stags that catch my eye. before I start turning them out I would like to have ten good hens and 1 good stag that are close enough to what I’m looking for that I can just breed them out on free range and just cull for unwanted traits. But for now I will attempt to turn out a bunch of the birds I don’t want for breeding next year, once I figure that out and let them mix up. That’s my plan so far but plans can change. I’ll try to get pictures of some of the younger birds and a better picture of the six soon.
 
How are the white OEGB looking?
Well it’s kinda sad they were all looking pretty good but sadly I was out of town and I hadn’t had a single loss but something got into the brooder and got all but 6 bb reds and one white pullet which was really disappointing, I was really liking the whites, so I guess that means I won’t be breeding whites next year, unless I either buy some more chicks or get a rooster.
