American Game
The American Game chicken is a charismatic and resilient breed, well-known for its rich history and spirited nature. Developed in the United States, it has its roots in the traditional game fowl brought over by early settlers and has been selectively bred for its combative prowess. This breed is characterized by its strong, muscular build and compact size, reflecting its background as a game bird. The American Game displays a wide range of striking plumage colors, from vibrant reds to deep blacks and iridescent greens, making them visually captivating.
Their temperament is both lively and independent; they are known for their high energy and intelligence. Although originally bred for fighting, today’s breeders often focus on qualities like vigor and adaptability, making them suitable for free-ranging environments. Hen's superior mothering skills are also notable, as they are fiercely protective and attentive to their chicks. They are hardy birds that can thrive in various climates, proving to be resourceful foragers and low-maintenance upkeep.
