Welcome trooper man, and my game breeds layed better than any other of my or neighbors chickens, except for my leghorn x game mixes. game cock to pearl white leghorn produces sex linking and female young that lay like mother/s but hardiness ect of father and a lot quieter and less flighty and more cold hardy than pure leghorns, but eat like pure leghorns too. lol.
i had an Americana bantam slightly tear iher vent some, laying too big an egg.. put her with other inside to rest, dry off and warm up, eat more for day than get ranging (they won't go back to cage till it gets dark), and have non freezing immediately water. Well the other that had torn vent bad befor and prolapsed her insides (is fine from outside now, and acting normal aside from not attacking me), went right after and they had to be pried apart and seperated. hoping i don't have this trouble re introducing her to flock after been inside.. luckily even with the hens having tack like spurs, they are much more heavy fluffiness than actual birds. maybe i need to work on the line more for calmness, trying to not sacrifice laying and ranging abilities ect. i love watching them beat the one cat (who stalks and tries to grab for food when any bird takes flight), as they are smart and on constant alert, never had another pred even go for, besides that dang cat (i haven't "culled" him cause woman of house loves him.. the scovy beat him much worse when he goes for one of them (like geese fighting over a whole loaf of bread).
