Mini American Game Breeding Project(From Scratch)(And Discussion Thread)

I got a hen and rooster I will try to get pics that are pretty much what you are aiming for I would say. They are a mix from a Dom x hatch rooster and a miniature mug x leiper x jungle fowl hen. They are 2/3rds the size of Norma I would say. They do really good in my free-range flock, the momma hen has 7 babies right now she just hatched ladt week

Goals are a Midsized Gamefowl with long muscular legs, goal weight for males - 4½lbs - 5lbs.

Female goal weight is - 3½lbs - 4lbs.

Judge friend and I both agreed that they should be classified as bantam games.

Not exactly what I was hoping for, as I'm moving away from Bantams.

He's the size I want, but not weight.
Put these two together for a minute for comparison.

Bantams can be Ten to 12 inches tall at most, & have large rounded heads.

I like the round head shape, but want to stick with slightly smaller heads. Gonna get their heights sometime, hopefully the rooster is over a foot at least.

Wanna get certain traits that will distinguish them from bantams, & other Gamefowl varieties.

Maximus is 18 inches tall, so he's not Bantam sized, just a Bantam weight.

My Red JungleFowl Rooster is terrified of Maximus. So is Floof my Project Giant Silkie rooster who's twice his size.
