So happy 11 healthy spangled hatch x's

Is spangling native to pure games or do they have some sort of non-game added to bring in the spangling?

No spangled is native to gamefowl but I don't know how they came about

Nice looking hen. What did you cross her with?

Close confinement over moistened bedding can cause complications with waste becoming embedded in feathers and sets stage for fly and maggot issues. Body feathers messed up can compromise thermoregulation on already stressed birds. I also have to play by rules regulating smell as my hospitalized birds held in air-conditioned home or lab. We have a nasty fruit fly looking critter that eats dead fish and crayfish and have no problem going after sick chickens.

I understand that issue, I keep all of my confined cages clean anyway. When I hatch off a batch of biddies they get new bedding, food, and water daily.

The spangling was a trait that was bred in from another game family, Richard Bates was one of the first to make the spangled hatch family. Ed Gerrard, Col. Givens, Dee Cox, and several others were able to get their hands on some of this blood to produce their own line of spangled hatch. Bates was the first to make them famous

Thanks. I think I will be trying to get a hold of some Bates-Hatch to test cross with. Hopefully a line remains that is bred to the old standard.

Am I dreaming or did you say you want create a cross? lol I think its good to add new bloodlines every once in a while. Hybrid Vigor.. I think as a scientist it would provide you with some valuable data to analyze.
