I was just told it's a game hen.

Could it have been "Old English Game"?

The bantam (small) version of those are pretty common, and my understanding is that Old English Game Bantams (OEGB) act like normal chickens, not like actual gamefowl where the males try to kill each other.

I wish I knew. The dude just said "gamehen". I've been researching for the past month to figure out the breed so I can be proactive if needed.
I keep thinking bantam because of how mall he is. The rooster next to him in one of the pics is a week younger than he ish and bigger than him which makes me think bantam. Additionally, So sweet and docile which makes me think...surly Not a Fighter(Thank God) so I just treat him the same as the rest until he shows signs of something else.

I love my Leghorn hen! She is one of the golden girls in the Game hen group! She wants to drive and not take the back seat when comes to the Food Bowl!

Yes mine too! They are my little tillers too! I keep a compost area and they work it up for the others. Such good girls and hard workers

I love my Leghorn! Mine does the same thing! Such an industrious little thing lol the others make us dig holes for them

I’d stop wasting time trying to figure out what kind of gamefowl it is especially given the fact the original owner couldn’t tell the difference between a pullet and a stag.

I ask my hens what they think of the bigger rooster over the tiny one? They said the shoe size matters?

True. I suppose it doesn't help that Couldn't tell the difference between roo and hen either. I'm pretty new to this which is Why I joined the community.
I figured if I could find the breed, I could better prepare should the need arise. I've heard game birds are deadly and was trying to determine if he IS one.
Sorry for being the annoying "newbie" with wayyy to many questions.
I do appreciate the info

If it come from Craigslist you have a 95% chance he had no clue were it come from.

He did buy all of the last birds from tractor supply but I looked at the Hoover hatchery site and was not able to find him.
He must be mixed with something else im guessing. Either way, he is HANDSOME and sweet and I hope he stays that way
