The Thai Game is a breed of hard feather fighting chicken, originating in Thailand, and known as Thai: ไก่ชน. Since 2009 they have been recognised by the British Poultry Standards. They are described as of Malayoid type, with similarities to Shamo but with a lighter build and higher positioned tail as the most obvious differences. Any colour is accepted,[1] but red black is the most common.[2]
