Oriental Gamefowl Thread!

[troyer]

I still think they look like pullets from the photos, but that may be due to lack of sunlight, therefore making their faces look pale. I am willing to be wrong as I do have limited experience with Orientals. I have raised them for only three years which does not necessarily make me highly experienced. I have raised chickens for 25 years just not the oriental breeds. The ones I raised were Vietnamese Ganoi, gotten from a friend in Texas. I won't be offended if I am wrong, it takes a lot more than that to offend me.. Do either one of them try to breed the other chickens they are with? Does one of them try to breed the other?

3 Month old stag, ended up being the father of the above 4 month old ones.This one was free ranging daily at the time of photo.

I'm pretty sure now that the black one is a male and the white one is a female. Thanx troyer

But Troyer . When does the white one lay eggs?

Probably in the spring,when days start to get longer most hens start laying

Most of mine started laying between 6-8 months, it didn't matter what time of the year it was. I had a Ganoi hen start brooding eggs in December and hatched them in January. They all survived. She was in a draft free coop, no insulation with plenty of dry bedding.
Normal winter temperatures for this area is 25 degrees at night and 35-40 during the day. With lows being 10 degrees and windy.

Yeah, I got the idea a few years ago. They work great.
