Oriental Gamefowl Thread!

I guess by now they are one of my own :P. Mostly Mccoy blood with Wahl added, bred towards the bigger asil side.

This is one of my little Ko Shamo cross pullets. The oddest thing about her is she has turned into a mother hen. She acts just like a mother hen would with chicks. She is only 3 months old. She was the only egg to hatch out of the last bunch of a few last eggs set in the incubator and has grown up by herself. She was nothing but a big pet. I felt sorry for her because she was by herself when she was a small chick. Last month I had 4 Ko Shamo cross chicks hatch out and I put them in her box to see what she would do. She started taking care of the chicks. Next thing I herd her clucking like a mother hen and calling the chicks to the water and food. She even covers them up at night like a mother hen. She will attack you if you try to pick up one of the chicks. I have never had this happen before. Looks like she will be a real good mother when she gets older and raises her own chicks.
 
My Tuzo/Jap hen went hard broody 3 weeks ago, so I took her into the garage and let her set. She has hatched 5 chicks. Most are pure cubalaya but I suspect this one might be 1/2 Jap, 1/2 BBR cubalaya. Whatever it is I am unfamiliar with the color. What color do you think it will grow out?
