Description

Harold Brown gamefowl on our yard come through the penny hatch cross, a brown feathered American line valued for alert, active birds with a classic farmyard presence. The rich brown plumage is the first thing buyers notice, and it is the trait we select hardest for, along with vigor and a confident, watchful temperament.

This is a practical bird as much as a handsome one. Backyard poultry keepers, hobby farmers, and homesteaders pick this line when they want a healthy, attractive male to head a free range flock, while heritage breeders take pairs and trios to work the penny hatch cross into their own programs. Either way you are buying from working pens, not a broker, and you can browse all our game fowl for sale raised the same way.

Harold Brown gamefowl from the penny hatch cross

The essentials of the line are below. Since this is a cross, individual birds vary more than a closed strain, which is why we photograph the exact rooster before anything ships.

What you receive

Photographs of the actual rooster, NPIP paperwork, individual boxing at morning dispatch, USPS Express shipping, and a live arrival guarantee come with every order. Stags, pullets, pairs, and trios are listed above; first time keepers usually do best with a mature male showing finished brown color and full hackle, while breeders start with a trio. Whichever you choose, give each male his own pen with shade, shelter, and his own hens, since game bred males are territorial with each other, the same way we keep them here. If blue feather appeals more than brown, look at our Minor Blue Gamefowl, or compare everything in our rooster collection first.
