Show Off Your Games!

[jason_mazzy]

I lived in KY and games were common as it is still legal to match them. I have seen the best and most behaved birds. Games are a great merit to this breed.



I would like to see a couple good pics of a kelso and a white legge hatch, or a pyle.

I agree with you 100% Pop. What I see at most shows entered as Asil, and judged as winners are pretty sorry, and not even the correct breed in some instances.

Beautiful birds I really like the top pic always attracted to a spangled/splashed bird...and the other two pics look great with grey and that great dark red wine color on the saddle..very beautiful color..sure a trade would be good but would later in the year I have a waiting list for birds and kind of fell behind due to heart problems in december..but I can save and email or you can check the site I have in my signature I normally stop hatching by august..my girls don't stop laying till early november or depends on how fast the freeze comes..any more info glad to let you know..feel free to ask..


It would be best by fall here as you know it heats up quick I get a small window to hatch..here its climbing quick and the humidity messes with them..in the fall I don't hatch anymore and can send you more eggs..again very beautiful birds I like the grey and red..and spangled wow..

great to find this topic thread, and hopefully it will stay up. i fell in love with games, when i traded a egg laying white, crossed with game (for mentioned abilities), and got three mex game hens (easter egger mixes was said thought, as broods got mixed together), and a sumatra green legger bantam roo, in trade for birdzilla (he was mean as snot and used to kill hawks by getting above tem and downing them by stabbing them in neck and back, and tearing eyes out, then backing off to let the hens finish them off), and was the size of a turkey. those were the best birds ive ever had, and now oddly at my apartment, ive been allowed to keep some hens and roosters, and again have some game hens, and roosters, though one roo is rosecomb mix.

anyone can tell me about sid taylors, and show pics, as said i have one, and got one that looks like it now, but looks more spanish greenleger with big even though capped spurs. also traded a huge loud game roo for two suppsedly non layer hens, that next morn both tried to kill me when i found an egg under each. the wheaten looking hens i found when getting them out of pen, were one blue slate and one green legger, but both lay white eggs...???

I love American Gamefowl. They are, in my opinion, the most beautiful of all the breeds. I have a thread dedicated to them. I have four roosters and one hen (expanding soon $$$ expensive birds) I love these rooters and even on my worst day I can go out back and hold Highme and I will always smile.

TWO BROTHERS ARE RED HORSE REDQUILL AND ROBINSON/BLUE FACED HATCH

HATCH/REDQUILL ROOSTER (HE IS THE MOST HANDSOME)

HIGHME

HATCH/REDQUILL ROOSTER (MY FAVORITE)

your black hen looks similar to my mystery hen (she is a mean... beast at first), she supposedly is or at least sisters who look differant, sid taylor, but i think she looks more bantam austrolorpe. what is your black hen?

 

[BANTAMWYANDOTTE]

Speeder Grey Toppy Hatch Butcher Clariot.....LOL...She is a six way cross but I was given her for free and Rooie Likes her....Currently she has eight eggs in her nest (5 in the incubator just in case) and I expect her to go broody soon. I do know for a fact that she is full blooded American Gamefowl (no Heavy Breeds mixed in)................

I'm glad I found this thread! I just wanted to post a few pics of my bebe (now named Uma) and get opinions from the experts.

Guesses on her breed have been BBR OEGB, Duckwing, EE, and just recently someone suggested Gray Amercian Game Fowl. What do you guys think? She is a mix of things, a rescue bird though so no idea on the parents. She seems so tiny.

TYIA!

Looks to me like an American Gamefowl mix. I breed and raise American Gamefowl and it is my opinion she is a mix of Standard Grey and Sweater. Proably, like my hen, she is Sweater Grey and some other American Gamefowl. If she is small enough, she may be a bantam. AGF some in both standard and bantam varities. I only deal with standard size AGF but it is my educated guess that your pullet is an AGF Sweater Grey. Here is a pic of one:

This is what I belive you're pullet is (or close to it):

These are assorted mix breed Grey American Gamefowl hens: look how similar they are. Oh I hope this helps, it took me twenty mintues to find the first picture that resembled her.

Standard AGF Grey Hen:

A broody Standard AGF Grey hen, She is more similar to your pullet:

This is a Frost Grey AGF pullet, similar still:

This is a Sweater AGF hen: The chest is similar:

The bird in question appears real young, maybe 2 months or so. Right now it is possible she is American game grey, or a cross thereof. As for what type of American game, that is hard to tell by pictures and requires knowledge from the breeder since many grey strains look alike (E.G. Put a Redfox Grey beside a Regular Grey, Larry Romero Grey, or basically any Hatch/Grey and you will probably find it is difficult to tell the difference.)

Just like the whites I had, if people had seen them they might would of guessed "Thompson whites." But they didn't have a bit of Thompson blood in them to my knowledge, they were White Kelso, Doc Robinson Hatch, Grey, Shelton Roundhead, and Morgan Whitehackle crosses.
