Got Game that hen & first rooster are super nice !!!!!! I realy like em !!!!! Are these Brazi. ?

Thank you. The hen you commented on is a reza asil, and that first bullstag is a Brazilian. The second bullstag is a reza asil as well, he is covering the aforementioned hen. The Brazilian stag you like (seen below) is being put with this pullet for the next month or two.

Now if he keeps progressing the way he is now, i will use this stag over her later on. He is a nephew to above golden dom stag.

Their calm nature is one of the things I so enjoy about the oriental fowl.

Well, the bullstag is what I would call a golden dom, the younger stag just gold. As for the pullet, no idea what colour she would be considered. Thank you for the compliments, the variety of colours you get with the Brazilian is one of the things that drew me to them.

As with my reza asil. They are half hyderabad, so they also come in pretty much any color. I happened to find some blue spangled, and blue spangled pumpkin from breeders that are breeding for the right attributes, which I was very excited about.
Just hoping I can continue with them without ruining them. Here is my start in the rezas.

I am proud to say that I am now the owner of an Oriental game.

I picked up "Ivan" (a Silver Duckwing gamecock) at around 2:30 this afternoon. A beautiful bird, to be sure. Not sure exactly what breed he is (I believe he's a cross between a Thai and some other Oriental), but he is absolutely excellent. His only two problems are 1) one of his wattles is bigger than the other--doesn't really matter, though, 'cause his wattles practically aren't there, and 2) a couple of his toes seem to be crooked. However, the nail looks like it might be bent, so I'm not sure if it's the actual structure of the foot.

Regardless, he's definitely gamey. I put him on a twine line (very stupid of me, though it was only temporary until I could get a real one), and the first thing he did was assault my Mom's hatchery Jersey Giant cockerel, who happened to be walking within distance of the line's reach, like an idiot. The gamecock beat him up pretty good before I got a chance to intervene. Plus, the Giant cockerel seemed to be just as eager as the gamecock to fight, so it was hard to separate them. Then my Buckeye cockerel and a couple of really dominant pullets came over and simultaneously joined the fight. "Ivan" held firm and scared off the Buckeye cockerel while chasing away the dominant pullets. Then he broke his "twine line" and charged at the Jersey Giant cockerel, and I had to break things up again.

My Dad helped me make a much more durable line until we can get one from that farm in Tennessee. I learned a quick lesson today, one that I should always keep in mind: when gamefowl breeders tell you that gamecocks will fight like heck, take them literally.

In the meantime, I have to think of something ingenious to keep these guys separated. It's somewhat bad timing, because my non-game cockerels are going through that "testosterone rush" phase some cockerels go through. They're always trying to mount dominant pullets and trying to fight dominant cockerels. Now a gamecock shows up.

Any suggestions for an amateur?

I'll try to post pics of Ivan tomorrow. My Dad and I are working on a coop for him, and he will be on his line under our watch while we build. In the meantime, I managed to get one of those large plastic barrels game breeders use for cocks, so he's got some shelter in the daytime.

Put something solid that he can't see through around the bottom of where you have him so he can't see any other cocks.

Yep, the sorriest excuse for a cull male bird, can totally ruin a good game cock, thru pen fighting.

 

[gallo4319]

Good for you Gresh.
how much does it weight?
The crooked toes sometimes this happen when they hatched in bator and the temperature get to high and dry or several inbreeding,other fact can be that he was rose and small coop lacking of scratching this make theirs toes to not develope correctly.
There's other facts that I can't remember right now

If you are going to put the bird on a tie cord, and you have other roosters running around, it will always be a problem. The thing is that the barnyards won't hang around to the end of a fight, but what they will do is stay just out of reach of the corded bird, and while he tries to get to them they will beat up on it's head. You just can't keep other roosters around tie corded birds period. Also, anyone that sells you a bird with crooked toes is not someone I would want something from.
