What breed is this cockerel??

[SeaPolka]

Today after dealing with the chicks we went to the auction just to be nosy and saw this beautiful trio. Does anyone know what they might be? I don't have anymore pictures, sorry. They went really cheaply to a known rooster sparer (spelling?), wish I bought them now!

Gamefowl, and he has been dubbed. He would not have fared well in your flock if you have roosters. Otherwise in my experience they are the least human aggressive roosters of any breed.

I have separate pens for my birds, so he'd be alone with his ladies. I have a few Turkish Aseel you see. Really random question, but do you know where I might buy American gamefowl hatching eggs or birds in the U.K or Western Europe? Can't find any at all and I've been looking 24/7 for months, I just want them for the look as they're all damn well beautiful.

Not a clue as to a source, but I agree with you on the look.

What is dubbed? and how can you tell please? Thank you

Dubbed - his comb and wattles have been removed. At one time it was done so that they would not be torn during fighting. Now they may be done for breed standards.

Dubbing is the act of removing the comb, wattles, and earlobes from a rooster to get a cleaner look. This is required for showing game birds.

Wow, very interesting. Thank you.

Have you ever seen Red Pyles, or Pumpkin Hulseys ? Sheer beauty.
