I'm moving down to South Alabama soon, I sure hope I can buy some hatching eggs from you off of your liege/asil project. They look amazing!I do not know. Much taller than Indo, and last time I tried to eyeball a measurement of Indo based upon his natural stance I think he was somewhere around 22-24 inches.
He is domineering and predatory now. Whether that will translate into a game drive remains to be seen. I am considering keeping him cooped for a long time to come, possibly for up to 3 years, so that he doesn’t learn submission to the turkey or the guineas. I am curious to see if a mature bird that is sufficiently larger than the guineafowl cocks will come to dominate them.Do you think Azog has turned on yet? Do you think he will? Being 3/4 Liege.
Do you ever have issues of your guineas going after turkeys? My turkeys are certainly larger than my guineas, but I've had several occasions of the guineas attacking turkeys. I had, in one point at time, the issues of several guineas at once- between 3 and 5 or 6- attacking a single turkey, despite size. Maybe my turkeys just lack the drive to fight back though.He is domineering and predatory now. Whether that will translate into a game drive remains to be seen.

Have your chickens ever fought your guineas? Do they actually put up a fight against them, that being why you wonder whether Azog will dominate them?
I had some Ganoi years ago that never backed down from the guineas no matter how old the Ganoi were. All my Ganoi were raised by both parents so the youngsters never had to face the guineas on their own. Even so, I noticed that if they did happen to clash with a guinea despite having the protection of both parents they never ran from the guineas.He is domineering and predatory now.

From what I’ve read in cocking literature, guinea cocks and tom turkeys will make the gamiest of American gamefowl run. Thus the reason old timers say that gamefowl ought not be raised around them. Those of that strain if thought wanted their game cocks unchallenged until they went to the pit. I’ll look for some of the sources that talk about it.Does Indo take the guineas? As a mature gamecock he should not run.
