Lmljsl someone once told me black streaks in the red hackles mean something and it's considered a fault for show. Do you know anything about that?

Here in Missouri with judges I have dealt with so far, anything that makes so your real games do not have a color pattern that effectively matches one of the little English Bantam color-types is bad. Judges do vary, but I have yet to slip a single bird past the color criteria. Birds groomed with a weed eater, wormy with a squirrel tail beat me every time.

It is considered a fault for showing BBR birds, but I am not sure about any impact on physical performance. Many BBR show lines have a male and female line because they are breeding for two opposed colors, the black and red. A solid black breast in the male bleeds over in to red areas. And really red areas bleed into the black. It has been a long time, but I think the really red males with red in their breast make for nice coloring in the females. I could have it backwards though...

yeah I meant just looks

I love reading this thread as all of you are so knowledgeable in game fowl.

Why would someone use a weed eater/ bench grinder on their bird?

Also someone on here put this very detailed sketch up to illustrate the differences between American Game Fowl and Old English Game Fowl. Which illustration corresponds to which bird?

Thank you all in advance for your replies.

I have heard of people filing down a chicken’s beak if it was crossed so that they could enter it into a poultry show
