They look pretty i ordered 13 males from mcmurray they will be shipping the week of February 28th I also ordered 6 dark Cornish males and 6 Sumatra males I plan on crossing with American game, of course I will be Breeding some pure moderns also considering how rare they are, also do yours go broody cause mcmurray says there not likely to set But everywhere else I read says they do go broody and are usually good mothers.

I like the white earlobes I always found them attractive that is a trait I will be breeding for with my modern/American game cross.

The original Red Junglefowl have white earlobes. Everything about that rooster looks like RJF. The hens are hard to see in the photo. The color seems correct for RJF but they may be a little too "leggy"

Thats what I was thinking also I asked m Murray if they have crossed there modern games with red jungle fowl or possibly brown leghorn to make more productive layers and to take the game out of them so they can keep big breeding flocks without the males fighting but they have not got back to me but I will be receiving 13 and picking the best ones to improve and to cross with American gamefowl either way they look nice and I like that jungle fowl primitive chicken look.

Also the fact that there website states that they are better layers and none setters makes me even more suspicious that they were bred with some kind of laying chickens cause other sources say they are normally poor layers of small eggs and do go broody and are good mothers due to there gamey nature.

I have a flock of Modern BB Red Game - standard if you are still looking for some hatching eggs - they are just beginning to lay for the year and I need to get some in the hatcher to check fertility / hatch rate this year (last year was 98%) we are NPIP and AI View attachment 2995067

[awillia]

Yes had to separate the roosters once they were grown

If the words game or jungle are in the breed name, it's a great signal to seperate males
