Ga Noi Game Fowl

Ga Noi are naked necked game fowl from Vietnam. (Well, as far as I can tell, they're only naked necked part of the year.) They were first brought to the US as eggs around 1990.
They are built a lot like Thai Games, but heavier and taller and they are a slow moving bird. they are also slow growers, taking 10-15 months to mature.
OK folks -- I've been getting a fair amount of mail about this breed. Half the people say these birds are good examples of Ga Noi, half tell me they're Madagascar Game. Some have told me there are different strains of Ga Noi, and this is one of them. I don't know enough. How about sending me some good solid information and some good pictures. Thanks.
