I raise three kinds of game fowl and have some Cornish bantams also.
I have oriental game fowl, Asils. Asils may very well be the oldest breed of fowl there is today. The name Asil means Thoroughbred (pure). Asils come from India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, Turkey, Iran, Lebanon, Afghanistan, Russia, and Central Asian republics. Asils are used mostly in Naked Heel fighting. (no steel) and Boxing. Here in the USA when it was legal in the past, they were bred into the American Game to add power and brains.
I also raise American Game fowl. They are as the name states American. There are so many different strains of game fowl in the USA I would not venture to name them. The American Game rooster is fast and accurate. Back when it was legal to fight roosters they were used in long knife competition mostly, with some breeders still using short knife and Gaff.
I raise Modern Game fowl also. Modern Games were developed in England in the 1800's after England banned cockfighting. There was still a large group of people that shared the love of the fowl and started showing them in poultry shows. The Modern Game is the result of many years of selective breeding for the show cage. They are tall and slim lined, I think they are a true thing of beauty, but most of the gameness has been bred out of them.
