Hi, I'm new here. Here is a picture of my top cock, a brazillian game fowl with his pretty little blue hen. He's tough as nails-- has fought off a coyote and sent him packing (although i had to amputate a toe afterwards) and survived a dog attack that killed almost 20 other birds. He once attacked his reflection in the fender of a truck and dented the fender. He's gentle as a lamb with humans though-- i can pick him up and snuggle him if i'm quick. His name is Yeti.
Here's a picture of his understudy-- a shamo cockerel about 7 months old. I'm not sure what the color pattern is called-- wheaten? I just lost his matching pullet in the dog attack, she was a gorgeous wheaten with really cool intricate etching like patterns on her wings. I'm pretty bummed out about that.
He stands over 2 feet tall when fully upright. These pictures were taken a couple of months ago, he's actually a little bigger now with more impressive plumage. I'll try to get some better shots.
I have a passion for game birds! They're so fearsome looking, but actually are really loving flock tenders. I love my birds to death.
Shamo (maybe) is not wheaten. On the pullet: wheaten is not laced (what you called etching).
