Then you need to educate her otherwise.

I really don't see why one should stray away from them except if they plan to have more than one rooster, plan to use them for meat, or . . . . I can't think of other reasons.

Maybe she just doesn't care for the look? They're not for everyone, certainly. I don't care for them, just for that reason. Hope they don't take it personal.

she says becasue they are mean, i told her most of then are not D:

3rd with serama.....small, friendly, don't require large cage and you get a bx of chocolate on every hatch.

Most? Try all.

At least when it comes to American and Oriental Gamefowl, they're bred specifically to not turn on their owners. I honestly think people should research things before they jump the wagon.

Haiku - American Gamefowl look the same to me as a lot of hatchery birds, just with dubbed combs, and Orientals I can see others disliking, but you have to consider, Gamefowl come in a LOT of shapes and colors. Which do you particularly not care for?

For me, it's more about shape and proportion, both of which accentuated by tight plumage, than color. I am a fan of a good, solid dual purpose and decidedly fluffy bird. Orloffs are pretty much like a gamefowl in many ways, but they are FLUFFY! Gamefowl are also not notorious for their cold hardiness as far as I know, but really, that's beside the point.

Personal preference and aesthetic predispositions require no research.

There are chicken breeds out there for everyone, and while I admire gamefowl from afar, they are not for me.

However, I do agree that anyone that avoids them due to common temperament misconceptions might consider meeting some, if they otherwise like the look.

Well, if you don't want BR's (which I find shocking!) than seems that Orpingtons would be the best for you. If you want color variation, than just get a bunch of colors of em'.

even if you find your "perfect" breed, it doesn't mean those particuliar birds in your flock will behave that way.
