wow! This may be a spupid question but how long is their life span?

It varies, but on our farm 9-12 is very consistent and a Man on here who I spoke to personally has a 22 year old Rooster. Has to help it get on to the roost pole at night, but still kicking.

Also I am loving the activity in this thread. Always gets me excited when people are chatting about Gamefowl.

How do yall keep predators away from the ones on tethers ?

Our Tethered Roo's are on a rotation and they are inside a chainlinked fence that is about 3 acres. We shot and killed about 10 coyotes and haven't had a problem with birds of prey. Except for when we had some ducks for a little while an owl decided to stop by for a couple of weeks killed 2 ducks and then left. Haven't had a Hawk in about 6 years. We may have just lucked out on location. And the fact that we have American Bulldogs in front and back yard, but I think it is mainly cause of the yapping Chihuahua's. Not much can get past them.

Thats crazy I have never heard of a chicken living that long, something always happens to mine before then. The longest I have ever had one live was about 8 years, but then his son killed him.

Ya, I have always loved Game Birds. My step dad and his family raised them when I was growing up (mostly Green Leg Hatch) and I just like the looks, broodiness and production. Sadly I had to get rid of all mine when we moved, and now all I have is the bantams, would love to get some more standard Games though, So if anyone has eggs that are not to spendy let me know.

I've owened Games most of my life but I've never really cared about whether they were OEG or American.So my question is how do you tell if they are OEG or American ?
