Ok, I know these aren't as beautiful as your birds, but I went outside and tried to get my Thai to sit still. Hah!
They are about 6 months old right now.

Happy Thanksgiving!

Ideal hatchery only sells bantams of black sumatras. So the're supposed to be small!

By "not game", do you mean they didn't have a tendency to fight, or that they didn't have the oriental posture (i.e. erect carriage, long neck and legs, etc.)? Either way, I appreciate the info, especially about Ideal's Sumatras. I came VERY close to buying some, but thank God you said what you said about them being small!

I want chickens that are big enough and game enough to defend themselves.

My bad, I was wrong, they sell both. Sorry bout that.

The term "game" has little to do with the "tendency" to fight. "Game" reffers to the drive that makes a rooster, dog, etc. fight til death, even if he obiously is losing. Many people think "game" means mean, or a man fighter. Not so. It is the innability to accept defeat.......Pop

Nice! BTW Ish, about how old is that stag that I got from you? His free ranging ended today. Late this evening the feral rooster was cutting across the yard and evidently the shamo saw him. I happened to see them out the window. He would have killed him. The feral was desperately trying to run off...I don't know why he didn't fly away. I pulled the shamo off him. He was trying to stomp him. He was not happy with me at all! Tomorrow we put the sides up on a aviary. That should keep him in. And I will be putting site barriers up as well.
