Only the pullets look similar in color regardless on males still to early to judge as they are a recent cross. My point here is they are different in looks and that has been the last thing on my mind.

I see what you mean that Gustavo Sanchez bird has a great coloration then again they all look great

Ignore the rooster No relation just testing him out with females. Same source of cubans with a drop of Bennett sweater.

I feed them well as it gets cold here, but they are tiny very tiny compared to American fowl and yes sweater blood my point there is they knew what they added and it’s only 1/16 sweater so they kept records aswell.

Do you feed them a grain mix? They look pretty big how much are they weighing? ,it’s good to know what you are mixing but people here just want the money and fights that’s why the sport is almost ilegal here as well

 

[SOHC-FTW]

They may weigh a touch over 2lbs that’s a 5.5lb mug she’s with here.

This is the original cock and the younger bird above is one of his sons.

No I don’t feed one of those expensive grain mixed I’ve tried it all and what’s honestly worked best is a good pellet and some added corn here and there.

I had to cull the cock this year before the big move he was old (11 or 12yrs old if I recall) and rather than suffering I culled him no matter how bad I didn’t want to.

And it’s not what I mixed as I keep records it’s what they mixed in and they also kept records that’s my point.
