The first hen is a white hackle bought from a pet store and the other hen is from the same store but shes a giro/ roundhead mix. As for the rooster who knows someone abandoned
him on my block and i kept him. im assuming he's some kind of red jungle fowl but i dont know for sure.

LOL!!!!!

What kind of a pet store sells game birds?!? Is this normal in other parts of the country, cause it would never happen in Oregon. It would be kinda cool though.

yea they are pretty rare i just got lucky to find one so close to home, its in east L.A. The guy breeds his birds so not all of them are for sale but he has many different types of birds including bantams, turkey pigeons, macaws, and a whole lot of birds and other weird animals like a chinchilla and tortoises, but mostly nice game fowl.

Has anyone had any luck getting a Game hen to take other chicks in along with hers? We tried to hatch 4 Wyandotte chicks with a broody Game but only 1 made it, I'd like it to have a couple of "friends" for it to grow up with. We plan on letting the hen raise the chick for as long as she wants to keep it. We used 2 other AG broodys to hatch W's

Some hens will, some hens will not. 



Over the years we've used games as surrogate mothers, I've seen hens take others fine even when their chicks were twice the size of the new ones; I've seen hens where you had to make sure the chicks were the same age/size for the hen to take them; and we had one hen who would take any red chick you gave her, but if you ever threw a odd ball in like a brown red or black she would kill it on the spot. It all depends on the hen, you won't know if you don't try. Heck, once I even saw 2 hens working together raising the same chicks for awhile because they sat on the same nest.. But the issue there too is that games end up fighting and that can possibly injure chicks later. These two hens lasted awhile but I want to say I did catch them fighting eventually. 


God bless,

Thanks Daniel still deciding if I want to pu a couple of chicks to try, I don't want to have to hand raise them if she won't take them Can you tell me what line this hen might be? She doesn't have a comb at all, I haven't seen that before height:375px;" width="500">
