My games are pretty good layers, average 5-6 (maybe seven depending ) medium sized (sometimes rather large) white/off white eggs, and I feed them about a whole vienna can of feed per cock and 1/2 a can per hen one time a day. All it takes to keep them in good shape most of the time.

Games though if you got a cock, you can only have one in an enclosure, he must be kept separate from all other cocks at all times. You may could try a Minorca, or other Mediterranean breeds, they're similar to the Leghorns I believe..

PS.. If you do go the game route, get only birds like American's, Old English, Spanish etc.. Don't get the large Oriental fowl like Shamo, Asil, Malay, etc..

We have all LFs the one that seems to lay large eggs for her size is a Golden comet. We also have BRs and BSLs, they are great layers also but seem larger.
