Gamefowl

[skillz1456]

Does any one know what's the best age to breed my Gamefowl I have a trio in a 4'X6'x6 pens I keep the stag separate from the pullets since he is 5 months old and my pullets are 4. Also what kind of food you guys would recommend?

Welcome!

Sorry, gamefowl are not my forte either. I note, however, that there are a couple of active gamefowl threads on which you may get an answer to you question:

I hope you enjoy BYC. There are lots of friendly and very helpful folks here so not only is it overflowing with useful information it is also a great place to make friends and have some fun. Unlike non chicken loving friends, family and colleagues, BYC’ers never tire of stories or pictures that feature our feathered and non feathered friends

Welcome to BYC! It's great to have you.

I wouldn't breed them until the hens have been laying for a few months. So 8-9 months of age would be a good time to start hatching eggs from the hens.

I feed my games a 20% flock ration supplemented with oyster shell and 12% pigeon maintenance feed as scratch.

Definitely stop by the Gamefowl links that Teila left for you, we have lots of members that breed and raise Games.

Great to have you aboard and welcome to our flock!
