Havoc, how is the feather quality on this stag? I like that coloring and years ago worked on it with barring, basically a blue barred, but they always seemed to have poor feather quality when I would get them this light. Nice looking stag.

I should have given u all my genetic hackle roosters. I culled them all last year. Their feather quality was outstanding compared to most roosters. However compared to the hackle (capes, saddles) I use for tying flies they were light years behind. It would have taken me so many years to get to the same quality id be blind and wouldn't be able to tie any flies anyway.

Thanks sdm111 and Fly pen R havoc and all the others Shubin also tex for keeping Gamefowl Alive ,with the nature of these chicken s they arent as easy as some fowl ,i was raised deep in the hills and shunned the thought of having any other chicken near , i had uncles that kept me stocked up with fowl , i had a real rooster man in my uncle on dads side ,, he would bring sid and mug hens too me then set me up with a big Hatch wide backed green legged rooster,, my other uncle on moms side brought me a big black grey rooster ,, he was a ribbon snagger ,, i also had some Archie kehr kelso ,, but those roosters were30 odd years ago ,lifes took its twist and turns and ive always had Gamefowl, , but since the death of my uncle i had a resurgence, ,,having these chickens are too much in my DNA i cannot let em down ,i gotta keep them going.Thanks Again Fellas

I feel you man, ever since I could remember my pops always had games growing up. Likewise, life had its twists and turns, but we're back at it almost 15 years later. Of course this time around, it's my turn to do most of the work and maintenance, but I sure as hell don't mind, as it's slowly become a passion of mine.
