are sumatras considered game fowl?

Its debated. I dont think I would consider them game fowl because I don't think they are used in the "games". They kind of look the part tho.

Ha guess I should move those before shubin throws a fit. Those are fox stretchers for drying the pelts.

do black warhorse and black sidtaylor have an infusion of black Sumatra? I ask because they get black faces.

 

[artblueggwanter]

my theory is they are game enough to cross breed but I am no expert and my very first sumatras are not 5 moths yet. I wil have to wait to find out

Game enough?

Game enough?

not really I've seen sumatra cock play together at 3 years old, they will fight each other but not on the level that pure blood games do.

Sumatras aren't even close. The rule of thumb is either game or not there isn't any middle ground. Start with something else. I would say keep the Sumatras of u like em but don't breed them with any other American gamefowl cause you will ruin them. Where are u located?
