Thanks for correcting your vocabulary. Though not game Malays are Oriental and supposedly there once were game Malays.
Our birds (Orientals and Games) deserve better than a make-believe word like 'roo.' They are stags (or cockerels) and cocks (roosters).
As to flock-watcher, truth be told a bunch of good hens will alert one another as to danger. As far as protecting, an electric fence or a dog is the only way to go. A cock is not going to be much, if any help, with a dog, hawk, owl, fox, coyote or any other predator.
As a matter of fact, I loose more cocks to predation than I do hens.
If you are still interested, we can give you some names, but understand these are expensive birds. A dog really would do you better.
We're not new to raising and keeping chickens or show birds, which include private breeder stock. We also have all the other protections on our ranch, thank you. I am new to this breed and I only came here looking for breeder resources in Texas or New Mexico as per the suggestion given to others inquiring about the same, in other threads on this site.
Vern, thank you for the complement. My line of Oshamo is from Mrs Chung in California. I apologize, I don't have extras. The hens will lay once a year, if we are lucky maybe twice. Therefore, we don't get many extras from this line.
Hi, I was told these birds were Thai gamefowl. Do they look like they conform to standard? Whatever they are, they are very intelligent and have great personalities. They are 9 months old.
