Haven't had mine since 2007 , started as a teenager in mid 80's , my grandfather from around sinton - odem had fowl and ran a brushpit down there , that's how I got into them , might start up again , my old blood is in my buddies yard and I miss the birds

  lol I can't remember not having a few around . met most the big boys at one time or another .

I'm third generation cocker I've been around them my whole life I've met people most have only heard about 99 percent were real nice people. I've got fowl that have been in my family for three generations crazy stuff

Iv had my own for only 2 years but my familys been in it for 3 generations that i no of.

 I know that's right  . what's sad is if people don't wake up all these hog doggers are going to be talking about the good ol days like we do about roosters  lol  . and your right about the old cockers they were a special breed and most were good as gold  .   I happen to be looking for a pair of good pure kelso hens if you know of some good ones around I lost my spangle hen this spring [ my fault ] to one of them high powered walker pups  . I know where I can get some good radio or silver bullets  them silver bullets are basically white kelso . but I'd sure like to find a good spangle without paying 500.00  lol  

I've got really good kelso had them around 18 years

Been around them since the 3rd grade, used to go to copper state back in the day. Kerreydw if you don't mind me asking, besides the Kelso what else does your family run?

We also got a family a spangled hatch and a family of round head

I'm curious is this about fighting roosters?

We don't fight them any more there just for poultry shows and to eat lol

   yep just purty birds anymore  .

you are right...most are beautiful birds...we mostly raised mutt chickens and roosters for the eggs and to eat...back when I was a kid and was raised on the farm...but once in a while we had a fighting type roster pop up and I always staked my claim on them...

      I just recently got into raising some games myself. I purchased 2 kelso/hatch hens I also bought a spangled rooster mostly black with some white in his tail hes a medium size bird with yellow beak and legs. He has large comb and waddles so hes never been dubbed with white ear patches. Would anyone have a clue as to the breed of this bird?

He could be any kind of dark blood

      Thanks for the reply..  Maybe one of these days i will figure out how to send photos on this thing....

How do yall raise your bittys? Iv been letting them hatch in 5 gallon bucket houses in drop pens and run loose till the fall then put them up.

  that's how I raise them T.R.  only the strongest and quickest get penned up around here  lol  I loose a lot to various critters but the cream rises to the top on the ones that make it  .  natural selection , nobody culls harder than mother nature  .

I c people putting stags in pens at 3-4-5 months of age I've let them run out up to a year in age just got to pay attention

I have 5 satags about 4 months old. I've got em penned up and wondered at what age should I dub them and after dubbing them what should I use to treat them with to keep germs out and begin the healing.......
