New gamefowl thread

[Ponyiqandhens2]

Hello. It was suggested i post here. This rooster showed up at the training center a few days ago ( plenty of food and shelter) he has been around a few days..i find his comb unusual..from the side it looks pretty normal from the front it looks like a bonnet ( think nellie little house on the prairie) any, this in Opelousas,LA a lot of people raise game cocks and a lot have yard birds. He seems different from my roosters athletic a lovely efficient mover , wary not aggressive just strong sense of self preservation. Old english and old english game bantams are exceptionally popular here as well ( i have an oegb and picked up 2 mille fleur duccles crossed with standard oeg)

He looks like he has a lot of Aseel in him and is heterozygous for pea comb.

Aaand this is my new home in the breed forum

If it’s a game chicken it’s crossed with a leghorn

He might have some aseel in him, although unlikely. He's most likely a mix of a regular chicken and a gamefowl breed, i definitely think hes mixed with leghorn

Look up "white claret gamefowl". Most Clarets I've seen are higher stationed and more gracile than the bird show by @Ponyiqandhens2.

White "earlobes" a trait of Leghorns although Clarets are one of the few American Games I expect to see white earlobes pop up in.

Those two are gorgeous. Any updates on dubbing?

He is probably if i had to guess some local ( opelousas la high number of gamefowl) mixed with a yardbird ..

Initial pairing of a Kelso penned stag and a kelso free range pullet in my dog kennel I use to break and do an initial pairing to see how they will be together. So far so good
