hi there! i assume you are trying to identify the two light coloured hens? - i dont know anything about game poultry - but i do love the cornish game - all yours there look in lovely condition, are they all girls?

I'd say they were hens
Self-sufficient in rasberries and bindweed. Slug pellets can be handy.

Well to me the big one at the front looks like it could be a Cornish/Indian game  with bad markings in the Jubilee colour.  The other 2 look possible but the one I dont think is, is the brown one with a dark neck.  
I'll go out and get some pics of mine and you can compare

thanks people i agree with the cockerel being a bad jubilee but dont you agree they are a bit long legged for cornish/indian plus they have got rose/pea combs and the 1 on the left is definately partridge colour on the back are they lf or bantams

I may be wrong but going on your pic I would say they are all x's.  Their legs are white and thinner than they should be and they dont have clear  Cornish markings.  But thats not to say they wont be any good, depends on what you want them for. I x mine to get table birds and some of the girls get left in the flock as they are better layers than straight Cornish.

For sure these aren't Modern Game.  Here's what red black chested MG look like.

thanks for everything and taking on the comments and what i can find out i am now pretty sure they are some hybrid game fowl i may keep them for a couple of months and find out what kind of birds they turn out like you never know they could make good layers or good birds for breeding table birds thanks again
