What is this Gamefowl

[Debbie292d]

Hiya, and welcome to BYC!

So beautiful!

If you don't get anything solid for an answer here, you can always post them in the What Breed Or Gender is This? forum and see if anyone there knows.

We're glad you're here!

Nossir, I'm not very good with breeds, but that roo (imho) was a fighter, or at least a stud.
@BlindLemonChicken is 100% correct, better eyes and knowledge are needed.
Let's see what @MysteryChicken can figure out.
I see it's a banded roo, the numbers should give some indication. The hens as well.
I once returned a lost pigeon to it's own by the registration number (2300 miles away!).
Edit:
You have some beautiful birds, it sounds like they found a wonderful home!

Thank you, the bands I put on just for my sake.

The two up top and the roo look sure enough the part. That bottom hen looks like she’s got something else in the woodpile, maybe some Grey or red quill type stuff with that pattern.

Do you fight them?
Have those spurs been cut?
No offense, but things aren't adding up.

No I don’t, I have not cut the spurs. I just put the bands on so when I let them out with my other chickens I know what ones I got from my neighbor who gave me the chickens

View attachment 4197756This quad was given to me and I was told their Boston Roundhead gamefowl but I’m not 100% sure because a couple of other people had told me Boston roundheads don’t have blue legs.

Boston Roundheads have White, or Yellow legs. So they included an extra, so maybe cross of Roundhead, & another strain.

Yessir, and no offense intended.
I had a neighbor who did the same.
I'm between flocks, and envy your eggs!
What breeds do you have?
I absolutely adore buff orps.

Why jump on the subject of someone owning games are fighting them? Alot of people now own them for Ornamental, & Showing purposes. There's people working on getting them accepted into the APA.

Just a heads up, these lines were established as fighting chickens, I'd definitely keep long pants on around the roo!

A Man-Fighter should never be kept. Causes a risk of injury to the owner, & visitors. They shall never be bred forward as they may produce more in the line. Regular barnyard chickens would more commonly have the man-fighter trait then a Gamefowl.

Games are actually the most people friendly breed you can ever own, even the Cocks.

Because they are fighting breeds?
I made no dispersion on the owner, or the breed.
Is unreasonable to ask obvious questions?
