The best birds to cross gamefowl with are blue footed booby birds. They are tough to get a hold of though. Not many around.

I know all the guys on here will be mad at me.. but I think its a good idea. If you want something specific than go ahead and breed it. If it works then more power to you.

I cross breed different strains of games all the time and I have good results despite discouragment from "pure' bred enthusiasts.

I believe it will be a good cross an it is just for me I won't be selling any. So any idea on how they will lay or how males will act. Will I be able to run more than one male without them killing each other?

Females will be good all around most likely. From what I have heard people say, the roosters will fight but run... which is what most roosters do anyways.

My good friend bred my game hen to an Ameracana rooster. The females were perfect... and the males were really tough and needed to be seperated, but she ended up selling them. So I never saw them as full cocks to see how they acted.

You might loose the winter laying ability, because games wont lay in winter time... unless measures are taken to give them more hours of light (just learned this)

thanks jshubin.
I'm hoping they turn out good. I really like the games and want to keep some pure because they are getting hard to find around here but want to try this cross too. Keeping them separate isn't an issue with 2 chicken houses one at farm an other half mile down the road at my house.
