Red Pile Chickens

I've looked and looked, but I just can't find anything about them on the internet. Can someone help me out? A caresheet would be nice, thanks.

What is the sceintific name of a 'RED PILE CHICKEN"? How about a picture too.

I'd like to know that too. I guess it is just a term that we rednecks here use for that type of chicken. Wish I knew it's common name.

So you really are serious here? I thought you were joking, really.:

Now my interest is piqued.

Is this a real animal?
Is it a special breed of chicken? (you know, hen lays eggs, rooster crows, etc)

Okay I Googled it and ya know what? I found Red Pile Chicken! They live!

Red Pile OLD ENGLISH GAME are of ancient English origin and were developed as a fighting bird. Julius Caesar noted that the Britons kept fowls 'for pleasure, but not for the table' and cock fighting was not made illegal in Britain until 1849. Today they are kept by enthusiasts for show and Red Pile is just one of some thirty colour varieties found in the breed.

Just out of curiosity, what made you take such interest in finding out about red piles? What all types of animals do you keep if you don't mind my asking?

I really thought you were joking. When I realized that you weren't joking, I had to Google it and it popped up several pages into threads that had "piles of chicken" (LOL) in them.

I have Kenyan sand boas, Amazon tree boas, Columbian boas, Haitian rainbow boas, viper boas, cape gopher, sonoran gopher, trinket snake, California kings, greyband kings, ball pythons, jungle carpet pythons, tokay geckos, timneh African greys, peachfaced lovebirds, button quail, a couple canaries, a European goldfinch and cats!

Awesome collection, purebred cats or normal? Are you a hobbiest, breeder or some of both?

So if it came up with "piles of chickens" how did you eventually get to the red pile. I gave up when I searched and got that result. Haha, I guess this will teach me to be more persistant.

You don't mind me getting so off topic do you? If so, you can email me if you want to continue a discussion. I am looking for a nice group of well experienced herpers to get involved in talking with often and learning to tell you the truth.

Haha, my collection right now consists of four mice that I will be breeding when I get my cornsnakes. Oh yeah, I have 1.2 red piles too, getting more... next week I believe.
