Which oriental breed do you think is best

[BantamFan4Life]

Okay I have a couple question about a few breeds because I couldn't really find things about these breeds on the internet because there so rare.

1. Which is the least aggressive?

2. Which makes the best pet?

3. Which is the most cold-hardy?

4.Which has the best egg production?

Which would fit best (or the closest) according to the questions:
Cubalaya

Malay

Shamo

Aseel (Asil)

Madagascar Game

Saipan Jungle Fowl

Thailand

You have some mighty aggressive birds listed. Why the oriental facination?
and about 2/3rds of those listed are used for pit breeding which explains why they are not so popular here in the States. Where in the Phillipines they are as common as mice.

Have you used the "search" box here on BYC? There are plenty of threads on just about all of those breeds. These breeds are not usually aggressive to humans, but you cannot keep the roosters together! They will fight to the death. Unless you have the capability of housing each breed seperately, with one roo to each breed of hens, you may want to reconsider. Do a search on here, and find the threads of the folks who acctually raise these birds, they are fascinating breeds. I had considered getting some Shamos at one point, but I don't have the space for the extra roos, and as you know, when you hatch, there will be plenty of roos!!

Here is one of the more active threads on Orientals on BYC, you can start asking questions here. Good luck!

How many hens could I keep together?

I don't raise them so I can't tell you. Go to the thread I listed in my last post, they can help you out.

Which page(s) would you suggest on the thread I don't want to look through all 122 pages.

 

[BantamFan4Life]

malay and shamo are not suited for pets, or for a mixed flock
the roosters will kill anyother rooster in their turf, and when they want to they can do massive damage to people


Saipan Jungle Fowl

is probaally the best
