cubalayas like sumatra were game at one time but not every strain is game these days

Sumatras were never true Games, they were captured during mating season, & fought. After the breeding season was over they were released.

Not true Sumatra in the 1800s along with sundaic gamefowl were very game and i would bet their blood runs in certain American gamefowl

Sounds cool! Is there a certain egg color you’ll want these birds to lay or does it matter?

game doesnt mean fight. two barnyard roosters will fight sometimes to death. game means even though they know they are going to die, they keep fighting to their last breath. its like courage the opposite of dunghill or cowardice. dont mean to talk about something illegal but the only way i know how to explain it

Old Thread, but still useful. It's a short one.

Where is that information?

Mine seems to hold true with the whole breeding season agression. He killed my other Sumatra cockerel, & will occasionally attack me.

Thinking brown, or pastel green.

Get an asil or borrow one.
I'm planning on renting game roosters for my breeding project.
3000+ years of selective breeding pure game there.

Malay are fine, I'd rather use them.

Once I can set up for it, I may get some other games. Just a little bit limited on what I can do at the moment.

I'm not just going to borrow birds. It's a risk of bringing in diseases.
