Just clear up any confusion the pullet I posted with the white on her wing is a warhorse.

Yeah I was talking bout the legs not the color of the bird, but I guess that could be taken that way.

I know that Typewriters don't come looking like a yellow leg Claret unless someone has added some other blood to them. I've been breeding Typewriters since the mid 80s, you can in-breed them several times and they still come looking like the Irish blue hens. I have had a couple stags that looked a lot like the Butchers but they still had some blue color. When Judge Wilkens was gifted 3 Irish blue hens in 1938 he put them on a yard with a Marsh Butcher cock. Then a year later he ordered all the stags to be culled because of their color but his son took all of them to his home and finished raising them. His son then took one of them to a hack fight and won it in a couple pittings. The Judge went and picked up all the cocks plus the one his son fought. The Typewriters got their name when the Judge was feeding them in tin cups from the sound they were making. The Judge made them famous from the first 21 cock main he fought against Col. Madigin. I wish I still had the original blood that I had in the 80s. This is one of my Typewriter cocks.

Deep red eyes.
