You have a nice set up. Clean straw secure pen, well done. What pure lines are you feeding if you don’t mind sharing.

Thanks! Those birds in the last photo can come/go as they please. The stag will need to be penned soon for sure.
Not sure what you mean by "pure lines"?

That WR person does know a thing or two about a thing or two.

In Gamefowl there are many different families of pure lineage.Examples are Wingate Brown Reds, Kelsos, Clarets, Roundheads , Butchers, Sid Taylor’s and these are just a few. They were all originated by cock fighters of yesteryear. Most are from setting crosses as a strain by selective breeding by way of linebreeding to fix traits and eliminate undesirable traits. After hard culling and selection they become fixed in phenotype and genotype basically there looks and genetics. These are kept pure without outside blood and are for broods. Then you have crosses as an example McLean Hatch over Boston Roundhead these are battle crosses. Now before you get the wrong idea, I’m not a cock fighter as it’s illegal and I’m to old to go to jail and lose my birds. I’m a preservationist. Hope this helps

Ahhh...I see.
Well, then this line I would call "Black Chaos" by Havoc.

Those birds originally came from me. They are 3 way crosses of High Noon leiper, Mel Sims black and Miner blues.

LOL All kidding aside, I understand what you mean.
Like I say, they are crosses from Havoc. He could tell you more about his lines than I could.
All I have posted today are Black/Leiper/Blue. My avatar is a Black/Sweater.
So all are crosses.
