Hi KenK, by that do you mean gamefowl with no game?
I think comparisons could be drawn from some of the chicken as pet discussion up thread. By not very game I mean birds that may look the part but that have not been diligently bred towards the purpose for which they were originally intended.
An analogy could certainly be drawn from hunting dogs that have lost most of their hunting prowess over the years.
So, people want gamefowl or beagles or coon dogs, but don't want to be a cocker or a hunter, what happens to the breed?
I continue to enjoy this thread and sure appreciate all the folks who are contributing their wisdom.
