Help! For Beginners
Only get 2 breeds to start with. Get them from
someone that will sell you pure, full breeds. Try to get them from the
same person, this way he/she can tell you how to breed to keep
them pure and also how to cross to make battle fowl, if you want
to cross them. He may also tell you what to fight them in and
what size gaffs to use an what set. The old man that helped me
out a lot was Mr. Curtis Blackwell, now gone to the great pit
in the sky. When breedng them try to single mate, and mark
the bidders so you know what came from what hen. Hope this helps
someone some if i can help out more e-mail me @
rosterfarm@webtv.net Thanks, Terry Roberts

hit it on the head, but there is a lot more
to it I and I am sure many other cockers have got a solid clue about
brood fowl. I got my good start in battle fowl, bought a
few cocks and conditioned them. My first show was a bunch of
losers, but one cock I bought from another cocker for jest
$5.00 more than the losers, so I went back to him and bought 3 more just like
this and conditioned him and his brothers and went 3-1. He won
his second fight unscraced and so did his 2 brothers, so I
went back to the same man and bought 1 more conditioned the
four of them and went 4-0 after the fight, I retired him to
brood cock with 3 fights under his spurs and sold his brothers
to fight in Mexico. Then went back to the same farm I bought
him from and bought a plump pullet to breed him to, she hatched 10 stags
and 2 pullets. I sold all the stags at 5 months for $300.00 each
undubed and every thing some are know 4 year old brood cocks
in Mexico and this would be the best way to start out with
brood fowl in my opinion.
When starting out don’t buy brood fowl just because it sounds like a cheap price. You pay for what you get. I learned the hard way 15 odd years ago, I bought a trio from Texas that was in an add in grit and steel, I went to the airport and was happy with the price took them home and sparred the cock, he ran and I learned a good lesson. Watch what you buy and don’t be afraid to spend a little money it will save you a lot in the long run, good luck!
