Description
The lacey roundhead is one of the most trusted names among American roundhead gamefowl, a pea comb family that serious breeders have kept pure for generations. Roundhead gamefowl carry old Asil blood behind that smooth pea comb, and the Lacey family is the best known branch of the group. If you want one dependable roundhead for your yard, this is the line we recommend first.
Buyers add this bird for what it passes on. A respected pedigree, strong constitution, and energetic, alert behavior make it a sound way to improve the vigor and overall quality of a flock. Our birds come from carefully selected matings within the Gamefowl Farms collection, and each pairing is chosen to hold the roundhead type rather than drift from it.
The Lacey Roundhead in the breeding pen
Roundheads are typically light red birds on yellow legs, and the pea comb breeds through reliably. The roundhead name itself refers to the smooth, rounded look that comb gives the head, not to skull shape. We track every mating, so the bird you buy arrives with its lineage documented on paper, not from memory.

What you receive
We photograph the actual rooster you are buying, box each bird individually at morning dispatch, and ship USPS Express with NPIP paperwork and a live arrival guarantee. Stags, pullets, pairs, and trios are listed above; stags are young males under roughly a year old and cost less to start with, mature roosters show you finished type and feather now, and many customers building a breeding program take a trio so the male arrives with matched hens. If you are pairing lines, many keepers run this bird alongside our Albany Rooster, or browse all heritage gamefowl roosters side by side.
