The American Gamefowl was created by blending many different game fowl breeds from many different countries. Many immigrants brough over fowl allowing for a wide array of traits and types to be used. The American Gamefowl are generally refered to by family such as Roundhead because it gives you some idea of what went into the making of the fowl such as asil blood in the Roundheads if you are familiar with their history. American Gamefowl as a pit breed largely ignored superficial traits like leg color, body color, comb type, vertical vs horizontal stance etc although once a breeder found a bird he liked they tended to settle them into families which would in time show the same general type, and color.

You are definately seeing oriental traits in this young rooster, no doubt about it but there are many reasons to suppose it's from Asil not Malay influence... Asils are peacombed and much more in line size wise with the American Games where Malays are a HUGE breed, they are one of the largest breeds of chickens. Asils have a long history of being crossed into other game lines, whereas Malays were used to add size to many laying breeds such as RIRs.

The SPECIFIC bird I posted was an American Fighting Chicken. Thank you. The description of the bird had it so that it was a victor in fights. Hence American FIGHTING chicken.

American Gamecock, in my opinion means that the bird has NOT been fought and is bred for conformation...not aggressive tendencies.

I'm going with a mix then. There is just WAY too much Oriental blood in there to say that the bird is not at least part Malay or Asil. Its stance is too erect for a traditional American Gamecock.

Sorry about the fighting vs game comment then, it's a pet peeve as an owner and breeder of American Gamefowl that people tend to call them fighting chickens regardless and I made an incorrect assumption about your post, again my apologies. American Games should be bred for character and conformation, lack of character is a serious flaw but their character encompasses so much more than agressive tendencies toward other chickens of the same sex.

Are you just hoping that this thread will get locked? Because you are making a very good shot at it.

I'll admit it. I don't own Gamefowl. I live next to them.
