Questions about American Game hens...

[Randall waite]

Thanks so much for all the info!

Just so ya'll know, I DO plan to provide free-choice high-quality feed.

But if for some crazy reason the price of layer feed and chick feed soars through the roof in the near future, I want to be prepared. I do plan to provide some table scraps or something at a minimum. I was just wondering if anyone's ever done them without any supplemental feed.


Centrarchid: I finally looked to see what a Redquill American Game looked like... It looks JUST like a Ginger Red OEG, which is one of my very top favorite colors of OEGs. Sooooooooooo.... I just might be interested in some birds from you, especially if they're reared free range in Missouri. And they don't need to be Redquill, or even purebred for that matter. I'll consider anything that is OEG and/or AG, dark colored, and comes from broody stock. My favorite varieties are the dark colored hens that can be easily sexed by color (such as Ginger Red/Redquill, BB Red, and Duckwing). I'm not in a big hurry to get some, but I'd like some broody hens by spring/summer 2012.

I would like to know if you can put all your hen's in one pen without them killing each other
