Question from someone with chickens but NOT involved with game fowl.

Why do you call the males stags instead of roosters/roos?

Thank you and I enjoy reading the thread and seeing the pics.

Stags are immature cocks. With gamefowl, males go from chicks, to stags, to bull stags, to cocks. Females go from chick to pullet, to hen. The term "roo" is not used by gamefowl people...

The term Roo is not used by serious breeder/ exhibitors either. The terms are, chick , cockerel, cock , pullet, and hen.

So...what do I have here on the right. Was thinking maybe a madagascar with feathering....but I don't think so now. They just look different (esp the heads).



It has yellow legs (much yellower than it shows here) with a tinge of black running along the front.
The guy has madagascar, sumatra and cubalaya.

Yea it looks like a madagascar with feathers probly if you have them with the sumatras and I once breed a black O-Shamo with a black sumatra and it had black in the front of the legs and yellow in the black but I see no cubalaya.

Here are some better pics of the two of them. Supposedly they are not mixed breeds. The combs are different and the eye color is as well.
