well you wont want RIR's,, or BR's, or LH's either,, their used in fighting alot,, puts weight on the games,,and people that cant afford the expensive games go with those breeds,,, so their in the same "category" ,, and since ALL chickens come from game birds,,, then maybe you need pheasants lol

You need to do more research before you scramble those eggs.

Many of the big hatcheries carry these breeds, they are shown on a regular basis, beautiful to look at and no more aggressive than any other breed unless you train them to be.

They are not some kind of evil breed, they are just another breed of chicken.

I would definitely keep them. they can be very hardy and beautiful birds.

My free ranging back yard flock only consists of game fowl. They arent one bit mean, I have a 3 year old daughter and she plays outside and even feeds the chickens by herself. Theyve never acted any different towards her or anyone for that matter, than any other breed of chicken. The RIR roo we have is alot meaner than the game roo.

Alot of people just have a misconception about game fowl, that is totally false.

IMO, pullets and hens in game fowl are some of the best free rangers and mothers that you can find.

I would definitely not scramble the eggs, but that's your choice.
