Battle trimmed, I've never heard it called that before. If you enter your fowl in a poultry show, they have to be trimmed in order to get scored. On the other note if you had long hair and every time I went to hit you I grab that hair with the other hand, then yes, if your hair was very short and I'm not able to hold you down with it, I would say shorter is better. No frost bite, no chance of pox, no comb or wattles is a win win to me.

On the showing side not entirely accurate. I get "scored" DQ's which is proof you where there. Problem some poor saps get into is that when birds are dubbed, still get DQ's, because color does not fall under one of the categories on their charts.

Wouldn't those type shows be like a credit score, none is better than bad

I guess the hard part comes when you're trying to find a good cock or hen to refresh your blood.


How long have y'alls birds lived?
Do hens go through menopause?
Am I going to have to feed an older cock Viagra or does there come a time where he just becomes infertile?
(all serious questions)

Both sexes can reach 10 years easy. Hens I have start slowing down in the third or fourth year but can lay pretty much into their last year of life. Fertility does drop but I am not seeing it consistently until birds more than 5. Old hens are not as able to produce and rear multiple broods per year.

I always take a pair of my Greys, as a stag they will score him un-trimmed here in Louisiana. The last show I went to I won first in stag category and first in the pair category. I'll post a picture shortly.

I didn't bring anything for the cock and hen category because my brother and buddy did. My brother didn't win anything but my buddies Rubles did
