That a grey rooster in there with them?

Good eye. Yes it is. His only purpose in life is to keep them hens from fighting. He does a helluva job at it too.

If all the females are splash, that mating should make some nice Blue Greys.

I breed them. They are called Gamefowl and they are not like regular chickens. They are beautiful, but extremely athletic as well. Best chicken I know of, thats why I have a whole bunch.

My dogs had chicken killing problems when they were younger but I was able to teach them to leave the chickens alone. They naturally want to protect the yard so that part is easy. Just need to train them that the chickens are not toys.

oh i see! they need special place they real nice but i dont have place to keep that kind i only have regular chick so probaly not good idea

these r darlin is these banty? i like that bill has black streak to match chest u have pretty chicken too

Concerning my non-game hens, I was randomly poking around on one of the EE threads and it seems this breed requires higher protein levels all the time versus most layer breeds. So I will be keeping them on higher protein year round.

why is that? Any scientific reason or just cause someone said? If they aren't given high protein what specifically happens?

Seems they develop into egg eaters and blood feather eaters, I need to do more research of course, but seems several EE folks have had problems that a feed change corrected.

Right now I have them on a mix of layer, black sunflower, scratch, and highest protein chick starter I can get.

Plus what ever else I decide to toss to them... today they got squash, peppers, and citrus on top of red feed mix
