Oriental Gamefowl Thread!

[GotGame]

For those of you new to oriental fowl ( including myself ), this is what being careless can get you. And this is minimal. It could have been much, much worse. Broken beaks, mutilated feet from fighting through the wire, broken legs.....

Somehow this stag got out of his pen and tangled with another stag. Couldn't have been for long as we had been outside an hour or so earlier.

Suzann Chung raises them and she is in L.A. PM me if you want her contact info. I don't know if she has any available. I have them too, but don't have any for sale yet.

Glad that's not common place, would make raising them that much harder.

Looks rough GG, but at least he stills has his eyes. Games aren't a joke like most people think if you've got true stuff, I've had American stags rip the skin off of each others heads at only 1-2 months of age before and these were raised by the same hen on the yard. Just part of raising games, luckily not common occurances (if precautions are taken) or you'd have a bunch of blind birds running around probably



God bless,

Yep. I take precautions but being careless with games can really cost ya. I got lucky.

Kinda, sorta, is common place, at least the Asils fighting at that age. They seem to get bored when you step out for an hour or so. Looks like Gotgame got home just in time. I had one so bad he bled out. Same scenario.......Pop

Hhmm.... obviously I am new to games, if they were that aggressive that young, how do you manage to raise any, if they are all like that?

When thinking about raising a lot of youngsters that are prone to such carnage, I felt compelled to pass along an old trick I used before I left FL. After the youngsters were about 8 weeks old, I would put them all in a large pen with a mature cock to police them. The idea was that if anyone was gonna kick butt, it would be the cock. Worked like a charm. Only rarely would one become so obstinant that I had to seperate him from the rest. I could usually keep stags together until they were 7-8 months old. Shamos were easy as they don`t get real fiesty until at least 6 months. brazilians were a bit more rowdy, and Asils turned on early, but a mature cock took pretty good care of most of the trouble.......Pop

Thank you for that tip pop.
