That's weird they would cross them with brown leghorn. Do you think this is going to reduce there survival rate. Cackle s game birds are out of stock to. So you're saying if I cross game birds with my game bantams the rooster s will be less aggressive? My game bantams are vary tolerant of multiple rooster s so that would make sense.The "Red Jungle Fowl" line Cackle Hatchery has was infused with some brown leghorn prior to 25 years ago (per phone conversation). Based on individual bird size of Cackle's line and assuming no selection for size, the brown leghorn represents less than half what makes up the line. The feathering of tail being so showy indicates the addition coming from the domestic.
I need to find a pure Red Jungle Fowl myself, just one to make some non-game show birds.
