    Medieval Gamecock Breeds

    The simple answer here is that breeds as we understand them today didn’t exist in medieval times. General types or landraces did, but not narrowly defined modern breeds as we understand them now. Basically Europe would have had primarily Gamefowl of the European type, at that time would have all...

    I do plan on keeping the spangles. I have several pretty nice females at this point, and this time around they seem healthy. Also this time around they are true spangled and not black mottled. I didn’t hatch any decent Pyle cockerels last year, but I have some ok pullets. I spent the first few...

    I’ve found Cubalayas to be decent layers for about 2-5 years. I can usually expect a few eggs from a hen until she’s maybe 6-9 years old. By decent I mean 75 eggs a year for 3-4 year old hens. All of mine over all the years start laying right about 20 weeks old. My original birds had extremely...

    The white in the males tails is unfortunately all too common in Cubalayas. Unfortunately because this is a disqualification for showing. I think that’s a shame, as personally I find the white attractive and a trait in common with many Gamefowl and Longtail breeds. I have heard the theory that...

    I have never written out a complete history of the breed. I do still have all of the information. The issue is that the accounts I was given contradict each other, and historical accounts as well. I can’t figure out how to put the information out there in a way that is respectful and honors the...

    Still have Cubalayas. Lots of colors including Spangled. Whites, Pyles, Spangleds, Black Breasted Reds, Blue Breasted Reds, working on Ginger Reds. Working on egg size, rate of lay and quality, as well as size of birds. Nice to see others still have some birds. I’ll try to post some pictures.

    The other interesting observation is that my Goldens and silvers are no longer slow feathered! I think it's a slightly differs strain than what I previously had. Maybe Troyer can can add something??

    I am not interested in trying to keep or breed lots of colors. I did cross whites with blue duckwings, and whites with blue golden duckwings, and white with blue, so I am getting every possible color combination out now. My intention is to keep the best birds regardless of color this year. I...
