Sid Taylor Black

Thanks. No, but I can see why you might think that or maybe Aseel or something. He has nothing in him but Sid Taylor Black and Black McRae. It's just because he was a young stag and maybe his stance also. He is about a year old now and his tail has filled out and looks more like his sire pictured here - Full Sid Taylor Black. I'll have to take a current pic and upload it soon. .

Sid Taylor/McRae stag

Here is the same stag I posted a pic of earlier. He looks a lot different here doesn't he? Sorry for the poor photo quality. I snapped this pic today just before dusk, with the camera on my phone. The stag is shaded with the sun out in front of me. One thing to keep in mind is that many ( most? all?) of the Black American Gamefowl started witth (sometimes heavy) infusions of oriental bloodlines as often documented in their perspective histories, although this may date back as far as the late 1800's. Even the ones that have been bred for stricktly straight combs still carry the oreintal blood none the less

Looks mighty nice. I noticed a tendacy of black American games to be heavier. From what I heard black Jap is a popular breed often used to create a strong black line. Several breeders/enthusiasts in my area are sell black Jap crosses.

I have had several black breeds in my flock.. I had pure white spanish game hens produce black/brown red offspring. I also had some warhorse and an unknown birchen American Game hen.
Here are some the brown reds stags I have had in the past (never had pure black). I currently have two black hens remaining (crosses from the above breeds).

I love the way his body looks. The picture I find on the net of old time breeds look like that

Can anyone tell me if there is a book for American gamefowl that is the go to holy bible book for AG? I got the "Genetics of the Fowl" by Hutt and it has helped me better understand the genetics of my birds but I'm looking for something purely about AG. Thanks.

Don't think there is a "Holy Grail" book on American Gamefowl. Look up "History of American Game Strains", can be bought off Amazon, if interested in old time gamefowl family histories, some lines of which are still bred today. "The Scientific Breeding of Gamefowl" by Floyd Gurley is a popular reference book too.
