What is the best breed of game fowl to get?

I am looking to get some game fowl to buy to breed and raise. I WILL NOT BE FIGHTING THEM. I only want them to have because they are such beautiful animals.What is the best breed of game fowl to get?Old english is a good choice. They come in so many colors and each have their own unique personality. They are a very popular breed so they are widely available, unlike most of the other game breeds who are relatively hard to find a seller.

Another common game breed is the modern game. They are like the old English in many ways but they are a upright looking. Unlike the old English, they come in standard size and bantam (old English game comes only in bantam).

The true cornish is considered a game breed. The types that hatcheries sell look like a regular chicken but the ones from breeders are low to the ground and are described as the bulldog of the chicken world. Indian game is very similar to the Cornish but contrary to what many people believe, indian games are not the same as a cornish. A Indian game is very rare and very wild. They will roost in trees unlike their Cornish descendants who can't get an inch of the ground.

There is also some other breeds that are much more unusual. The asil like the other answer said is a small bird that resembles the modern game. Their is also the Malay who is a really stunning bird. The Malay roosters are the tallest breed, they average 3 ft tall! Shamoos are a bit smaller than the Malay and of all the game breeds they are the best layer (although that isn't saying much). Tialand is another one worth looking into.What is the best breed of game fowl to get?One of my favorites is the Asils....they are easy to tame and handle....
