I'm just ready to go to bed for about a week. Between work, farm, holidays and three kids pulling me in different directions It would be a dream. And I think I'm going to give up hunting for the rest of the season or whipe my ass with the honey do list.

Enjoy yourself with those kids, as we get few (limited) opportunities at it.

Usually it's like Billy has a rooster and Bobby has a hen they'd like to breed so that's where I come in

That's a good deal , they pick up chicks when hatched , 'I've known guys who used to raise and sell back ones after stags are penned for Harold Brown, The Griffins (using the broodfowl from the Breeder/Cocker) a lot of people have gotten good starts getting birds from the guy raising the birds.

that's pretty cool. I didn't start this way. A few yrs ago when I decided to get a few the people I know still were into birds from the early 90's during my first go round. I got a few and word spread as to " man you should see the birds **** is raising these days" and that was it. People wanted me to mate theirs. Throughout the year I'll get offered some older offspring from a mating and believe me sometimes is real hard to say no lol. Very satisfying to see how they ended up beautiful gamecocks that can get it done (doesn't come with out a mishap or two lol) Usually I'll end up keeping a pullet or two by the end of summer the rest from what I initially kept will go. I really want to get some kelso that I'm mating the cocks daughters back to him in the spring ( mine) I need a few and I'd like to gift back a clutch or two to the person who gave me the cock cause as far as we know that's the last of his pit blood that he did well with. He still has a few but not that specific kelso blood. He had Murphy whitehackle and the cardinal kelso. Some straight comb pearl leg blues too. He also was the one who gave me my first game chicken a hatch hen after a proved myself caring for her he gave me a grey cock and said mate them and that's how I started 23ish yes ago. He was a great mentor

We younger lads could only imagine how it was back in the day. Sadly your generation in my opinion is the last of the great ones. Each generation more and more is lost due to people knowing what's best for us moreso than we do
