I can relate with the heavy rains I'm going to fill at least my domes even with the top of the 2x4 with sand or hopefully pea gravel before spring tropics have been calm trying to get through hurricane season unscathed per the graphs im in the peak right now so should be on the downside soon. And hopefully add a couple more bays to the breeder quarters for the sweater and asil.

If there is anyone wondering about how young the gamefowl start fighting, here is one of my blacks that is barely quail size. The miners from sdm111 started this a couple weeks ago until one of them proved to be dominate.

Two different strains of Copperhead Fowl named Copperheads. One strain originated by W. l. Matlock of Tenn , they contain the bloods of the Arkansas traveler and Bushwacker, Phil loving blue, and an imported Irish blue strain , they come all shades of blue and some gray , cocks run in weight of 4.08-6.00, the copperheads have never met with popular fancy , and there breeding has been confined almost entirly to their home district.. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Coy Smothers Copperhead Blues By: Triple M Maze Copperheads. This is the only Coy Smother / Dee Cox that has been maintained this tight that I know of. The other Copperheads are bred different. Here is what was found. Taken from: Gamefowl Dictionary of Strains Coy Smothers of AL made these. Dee Cox Showed them in the 80's. I still own them from friendship of Bob Morrow and Donnie and Ronnie Marsh. You can get many colors but the Blue Grays seem to be the best outcome When entered GBA Poultry Shows. I CAN CONTROL THE COLOR BY THE HEN SELECTED. All are still here on my farm in AL for a reason. I have held them the same for 30 years or better with a blend of Red Richardson Blue Face Hatch which also came from Donnie and Ronnie Marsh. . The reason these were named Copperheads was due to Coy Smothers finding a Copperhead snake in the nest when they first were hatched out. Originals were a 4 way cross. Minor Blue, Round Head, Gray, Mcclanahan. Was bred back to the blue side to create Copperheads now in my hands 31 years. Nothing is pure but I say they are as close as they get on this breed.

How many color variations and leg colors do you normally see from them? I think he is a beautiful color.

Is that a miner or a black fowl pictured? And is it alive? Good to hear they're testing so young although it could be an inconvenience to have all individual brooders lol.

He's a black and very much alive. They both are, I have to keep my eye on them starting about 3 to 4 weeks. When they feather out good.

After I saved the pic and looked at it I saw he was but on my phone I couldn't tell at first.

It's just the little stags I never see much out of the little pullets fighting unless one has a cricket and want share

I'm looking for blue chest greys. Could I make them,if I took my law grey cock on a blue OE std game. How many generations would it take? Thanks Jody

I have a brood pair that throws about half reg looking greys and half grey looking with blue instead of black Pretty cool looking but I don't know their history if interested I could send eggs after the molt. There's some pics of them somewhere in this thread but I deleted them from my phone. If I were to make my own id try to find a miner blue hen and put her with the grey cock just to keep the offspring american on both sides
