I love these birds so much. I have quite a few other breeds, but these guys have a special place in my heart.

yes it looks like you have some good looking gamefowl .... just call them the "RaceTrack blues , race track reds , race track grays (you get the pic lol)

I'm guessing the white is a pyle (white) of the blue line (little confusing) . The blue lines will throw a variation of colors . With crossing there's no telling what you can come up with .

You have some beauties

These roosters are considered Blues...
I like your wild farm chickens. For years I kept mine free range and they roamed he neighborhood, it was like a feral population of chickens.

Anyways your chickens look like they have some oriental influence (probably from the Asil breed). They seem to have heavy bodies and strong heads.

Thanks for letting me share with you guys. I am a member of a few chicken groups but nobody ever cares for my game birds, especially since the colors aren't perfect. I think they are a fantastic breed and there aren't enough of them. All the other groups I have tried to join are basically just for people who fight their birds, which obviously I don't. So excuse the millions of photos I am just proud of my birds.
I would like to share a couple more interesting chicks I have right now

Look at this, it's like blue and yellow so cute

Does the tail sticking straight up mean it is a male? I often see the tails grow in sort of flat out, or sometimes they are upright like that black one

U sound like me. I have 16 hens and three roosters all in three different coops plus I have 18 new chicks about two weeks old. And they all have won my heart over. I am very proud of them and I spoil the crap out of them. They sit in my lap and I pet them and feed them out of my hand. And I am very proud of them. Most of all I just enjoy each and everyone of them. U have very pretty birds.

It's gamefowl, gamebirds are like pheasant quail etc. just letting u know no disrespect intended and the flat tails are called lobster tails and are a trait of oriental gamefowl Like asil, Thai, shamo, etc.

Thank you. I didn't know that about the tails.
It's weird that you guys seem to think there is some Asian blood in there I wouldn't have guessed that, mainly because I dont have the eye for it. That is kind of neat.
These chickens can fly, I was told they used to fill the trees at night.

This one is the blue roosters brother, recently taken by a raccoon, I loved his tail

Sorry for your loss...

Some of the hens you were holding earlier look like they have Oriental blood.. The hen and rooster shown above look very American Game.

Here is an example photo I found online of an Asil hen. They usually have meaty (thicker) heads and stronger body and legs, but dont fly as well. Their feathers are typically shorter as well. Notice the tail is more horizontal (its exagerated in this photo).

Do any of your hens look like this hen?
