and some more of my hatch

Wow! That bottom one is gorgeous! Love those colors!

 

[season1223]

Im not sure if this is an American or not but i do know he was a game cock! I tried to introduce him to the rest of my flock...hoping i could keep them all together since winter will be here soon! Had him and his mother in a seperarte outside cage all by themselves! Well i couldn't...he tried to kill one of my other roosters! That was a couple of days ago! Unfortunately i lost him and his mama last night...my outside dog got loose, ripped thru their cage and ate both of them...not even a drop of blood on the ground! I tried to take the dog to town and get someone to take him yesterday and nowhere was open because of Veterans Day! He ate up my wounded rooster that the game cock had attacked yesterday! He's still alive tho...i rescued him in the nick of time....he may wind up being totally blind tho between the 2 attacks! Poor little guy is one tough cookie! Anyways i was just wondering if the game cock was an American game cock! He was beautiful and i really enjoyed having him for the short time he was here...minus his attack on handsome!

Sorry for the loss. I lose chickens to dogs regularly.

He is a mix of something. I dont know any pure breeds like look like that. The rose comb makes me think some kind of Spanish game mix. But there is no way of knowing without having history. Looks too compact to be full American Game.

just my opinion. I am no expert.

I've been watching some Tukaan TV videos on youtube. The Filipinos come over here and interview the famous breeders of the US. Pretty good info and advise..

I like Gene Batia of Gulf Haven Farms... real knowledgable and has a nice way explaining things.

5 month old pure blueface pullet to over these biddies as her own

Thats cute. she'll have great broodmama insticts when she gets older.

I have a 3month old stag that sleeps with month old chicks. I dont think it is his idea tho, they just tuck under him.

You're right! His mother was a bantam an father some kind of game rooster! He wasn't quite as big as the other game roosters that the ppl had (the ppl i got him from)! He definitely had the killer instinct just wish it had been enuf to save him from the dog! Sorry that u lose chickens alot to dogs! This past week has been a rough one! My "bad" dog is gone now! On top of everything thats happened this week with my chickens, i witnessed a coyote stealing a chicken from someone elses farm yesterday....in the middle of the day! It ran right out in front of me in the road with the chicken in its mouth! Hope everybody will be able to keep their chickens safe this winter...it's lookin like it might be a rough one!

It's a choice people make to lose chickens. Guess it just depends on how much effort you want to make in their safety
