I really want to get into OEGB, but have problems with being "required" to dub the roos to show. Why was this practice started?
Why dub in OEGB and MOdern Game?

It was originally for that bloodsport that shall not be mentioned and is illegal in 49/50 states...

So, see if I understand, now a days the dubing has become more or less a traditional thing that no longer serves any real purpose other than a particular appearance for the show bird.
Curios. What is involved in dubbing?
Basically, you cut off the comb close to the head. Wattles, too, I think. They make "dubbing shears" for that purpose. Nowadays, it's like cutting a Doberman's ears to show, only for appearance sake. This site tells how to do it:

hmmm ....
What states is it illegal to dub in?

It's not illegal to dub in any states that I know of. It is illegal to participate in the unmentioned bloodsport as SpottedCrow noted.
Edited to add that dubbing could be done as protection against frostbite, for individuals who own birds up north that are prone to it (large single-combs)

Thanks chickngurl hadn't thought about the idea of frostbite. Never experienced frostbite with any of my birds before.....of course, I am too far south and my Ameraucana do not have large combs either. Good point though about a legit reason for dubbing. Soonerdog

I just learned what this was yesterday. I likened it to topping and tailing a doberman for looks.
Would you get REALLY hurt in a show if you didn't do that?
