Hey! A fellow North Carolinian!

I'm from NC ' but live in Florida now, and I hate to say it....... I miss the snow too!

well aint that the craziest thing but thanks for all your help and hey aint you worried about the weather over there?

I don't think they are mutts either. Full games
My daughters show chickens, so I've seen a few LOL!

The weather? Yes, in 2004 we had 3 hurricanes in a row,and in 2005 a couple of soakers, but that's rare here in North Central Florida.
Normally they hit either coast and dissipate before they get us

I don't blame you....Lots of hurricanes like to buzz around and decide where to strike in the Gulf of Mexico. LOL!

I only hatch game chickens in the spring. The hens seem to breed better then and have more eggs. I don't think your hens will lay any eggs tied like that. It's hard to know the breed of game hens, and sometimes it's a guess, unless the breeder has had them for several years and kept a breeding record.

no offense but why oh why does your chicken have a rope around its leg???

food can help bring them in!!

My game hens would start laying around Nov. and stop around July-August. As far as breeding would stop in May-June. It might be slightly different in Mexico. Also, you can't tell a hen that it is time to start laying and expect her to comply.

Edited to say: They don't look dubbed to me.

 

[hdowden]

now that someone mentioned being dubbed they do appear that way. they might be pure breed games or mixed games (one game breed to a different game breed to me is a mutt game)

In reply to my post about breeding. I'm in east central Illinois and breed for chicks about March or April. As for your hens being dubbed; no. Most game chickens are a mix of original breeds making several variations of breed. Call them mutts if you want but they are great chickens to raise and show.
