I’ve been reading backyard chickens for a while and after finishing Florida bullfrogs book free range survival chickens. I decided to create an account here. I’m not really new to chickens had them as a kid and on and off the past few years due to predators mainly egg laying breeds.
I had a short introduction to gamefowl as a kid with a friend and his dad caring for their show gamefowl and I was always interested in their beauty.
I currently have 18 chickens
Hens are Rir,bresse,lavender Orpington,brown leghorn,and easter eggers.
I have a black jap brood cock I bought locally from a gamefowl breeder and a grey gamefowl stag I raised from eBay hatching eggs
I have recently hatched eggs from the cross to hopefully start my survival chicken flock.
Anyone else here started a survival flock?

Hiya, and welcome to BYC! :frow

Pretty chickens! Thanks for sharing.

There is an active Gamefowl thread here you could jump in on. The link takes you to the first page, but there are 1893 pages, so you might want to skip ahead. :)

We're glad you're here!

There is also a thread called No Coop, No Problem, that might be along the lines of what you're looking for. Stand by while I go retrieve the link. Or try to!

@No Coop No Problem is a member's name. Are you sure there's a thread by that name as I couldn't find it either.
