Description

The albany rooster carries one of the oldest strain names in American gamefowl, a family that serious yards have bred, traded, and talked about since the early twentieth century. Albany gamefowl in most lines show a light red color pattern, often with some white in wing and tail, and the name still signals old, carefully kept American blood to anyone who knows heritage poultry.

As an American gamefowl breeder, we keep the Albany line for its history and its consistency. These birds breed true to type, which is exactly what a strain name is supposed to guarantee and exactly what a careless cross destroys. Every mating on our yard is recorded, so the lineage behind your bird is documented rather than assumed.

What you receive

Your order ships with photographs of the actual rooster, NPIP paperwork, individual boxing at morning dispatch, USPS Express delivery, and a live arrival guarantee. Choose stags, pullets, pairs, or trios above. Plan individual housing from day one: each male needs his own pen or run with shelter and his own hens, since housing mature game males together is the one mistake we tell every first time buyer to avoid. The Albany pairs naturally with pea comb blood, and many buyers pick up a Lacey Roundhead Rooster in the same order, or compare all our gamefowl roosters for sale first.
