We are sticking with what is working for us. All game chicken breeds except Spitzhaubin. With the predator increase in Upstate NY we need chickens that can defend themselves. I am working on an EE that mostly game bird. Again predators. Our game bird standard breed is the Sumatra. Our bantam game birds are old English and Cubanlayan. The Spitzhaubin while not a game bird, are actually very predator aware. Spitzhaubin are one chicken breed from Medieval Europe that was not bred to c**k fight. Our mixed bantam EE might also have a Silky mixed in as they make excellent brooders.
