Yeah man. All birds taking the cold and wet like champs.

That blue is very sharp, snow coming again for me

I'll take the snow any day over all this rain. Just a quick sweep of the broom and the snow is gone. This rain is driving me nuts!

Will be dubbing most birds right after Christmas.

Do you use scissors or razor

 

[roosterhavoc]

I have never dubbed a bird before. I will be using shears. When I skin a rooster I use a scalpel though.

There is a whole lot more to the hatch fowl than this they're not all the same unless u want to start at the jungle fowl. http://www.ultimatefowl.com/wiki/index.php?title=Hatch how can u just disregard all the work the old cockers put into their line of hatch fowl by blanketing all these fine fowl under one tent as just hatch?

With respect to all the prefixes + "Hatch". Granted those names are more descriptive than simply "Hatch" because they refer to a subsequent breeder, maybe even a living, breathing breeder. That does not make them different breeds. Anyone here should be able to confirm this for you. They are simply "blood lines" at most and that may be stretching it. Consider whether any of those families were line bred so as to "breed true". I doubt that any were. They (you know who they are) are generally bred from unrelated individuals, so in what sense could they possibly constitute a "breed"?
There are a few families that breed true. They generally have one or more distinguishing characteristics like the Joe Redmond Greys or Flarry Eyed Greys or a number of others. Most are those are now considered something of a novelty because there are often negative consequences to line breeding.

I think it would be great to have all those old cockers in a room and for u to say all their birds are the same they would more than likely disagree.
