Bloodlines

and

their characteristics

The following bloodlines are considered basic bloodlines, which are commonl used in game fowl breedingB K Regular *re Regular *re is said to be a combination of three gre familiesB the +aw *re , the (weater *ra and the "lain head Muff *re .

Regular *ra s come green legged, sometimes with ellow, silver

duck wings and straight comb. The are medium to low&stationed, and are known for power and gameness. Breeders note that the are as powerful and dead game as the Blue faces. Because of these, man breeders have made Regular *re as their foundation line. K Mc+ean Hatch Modern Hatches are more high fl ing and are faster, man coming more brain than usual. Their usual characteristics like power and gameness, though, are still there, their blows often packing a wallop. The are basicall medium&stationed and pea combed with some coming straight combed. The Hatch blood came form (anford Hatch who blended, as stor goes, a ,earne 5hite hackle with a ,earne Brown Red, miHing in other bloods like the Herman 'ur ea Boston Roundheads, .im Thompson Mahoganies, among others, to come up with his signature Hatch fowl. !rom the (and Hatch stocks came Ted ellow and green&

Mc+eanLs version of Hatch that came both

legged. (upposedl , these were the better Hatches that gave rise to the other variants of the Mc+ean like *ilmore Hatch, Blue face Hatch, .ack 5alton Hatch, ,entuck Hatch, 8ak grove Hatch, etc. K Roundhead "ea combed, tall and white or ellow legged, and Roundheads are

considered as ring generals. The are characteristicall fl ers and agile all&around athletes with superb cutting abilit . The most famous among the man Roundheads is the +ac Roundhead,

originated b .udge +ac . There are other Roundhead families like the Burners, (helton:s, Allen and Boston. %t is widel believed that this famil originated from the oriental fowl. The cross well with $larets, Butchers, *ra s, and of course, Hatches. K 8riental (hamos, Asils, .aps, Thais, .olo, Basilan, "arawak M these are 0ust some of the man t pes of oriental fowl. The are big headed, light&e ed, heav boned, short and tight feathered and thickl

shanked chickens. 9er brain and hard , these chickens use an off&beat fighting st le which twits the aggressive American t pe of game fowl. Accurate bod hitters and smart side&steppers, sails are usuall graded up to an eighth or even a siHteenth with the American fowl in the hope of retaining the desirable cutting and off& beat traits of the 8rientals in the resulting battlecrosss. ;ither ou love them or ou hate them M thatLs the 8riental !owl. K (weater Toda , one is not considered NinO if he is not breeding the (weater fowl. >ellow legged, pea combed high stationed, sleek bod conformation and with their characteristic pumpkin&orange hackle

feathers and swarming offensive fighting st le M (weaters were populariJed in the "hilippines b 5orld (lashes %nternational 'erb $arol 6e(mith who won the back to back. As with man

families, the origin of (weater is mired b so man versions, some even contradictor . However, it is commonl accepted that this

blood, as originated b (weater Mc*innis, is heav on the ,elso blood. Toda , the more well known (weaters are those which come from 'ink !iar, Bruce Barnette, 6ene Abello, (onn +agon, Att . .un MendoJa, Raff $ampos and ;dwin AraneJ, Bebot and $hionkee < , among man others. K ,earne 5hite hackle ,earne 5hite hackle is one of the most solid bloodlines used as foundation stocks because of its un-uenchable do&or&die

gameness. (traight&combed red with the characteristic white under hackle feathers, the ,earne 5hite hackle comes ellow legged and sometimes spangle&feathered. This bloodline is one of the gamest among the man 5hite hackle subfamilies and is used onl for infusion purposes to prop up an floundering bloodline. K Butcher "hil Marsh is credited for creating the Butcher bloodline, which is a blend of *rove 5hite Hackle and some (panish fowl, the (peeder *ra s. $alling them Butchers because of his occupation, "hil

Marsh often fought under the entr name NButcher Bo sO. Butchers are straight&combed red that often come white&legged with some coming accurate cutting abilit ellow&legged. The and brain are known for their

fighting st le, leading man

eHperts to sa Nwhen a Butcher hits ou, ou are hitO. Medium to low&stationed, Butchers sometime come spangled and brass back in color, with the latter presentl called Black Butchers. K Blue face Hatch The Blue face Hatch, a special strain of Hatches, came to be known as such because of its pale&faced appearance, which is similar to the appearance of a fowl with Avian +eucosis. Blue face Hatches are so good that their originator, (weater Mc*innis, decided to breed them some more, with some ending up with Harold Brown, Bill Ruble, Red Richardson, "erc !lowers, and 5illiam *reene and other American cocking greats. (traight& combed, green&legged and medium to low stationed, Blue faces have carved a reputation for gameness. <sed mainl for

foundation blood purposes, old time breeders agree that the best battle cross carries onl a -uarter or less of the Blue face blood. K Brown Red Brown Red has speed and more speed, with cutting to boot M the advantage of this dark fowl. $oming dark&legged, dark&e ed and

with characteristic black feathering, this famil is a sight to behold, since Brown Reds show more of the raJJle&daJJle shuffling action t pe of fighting, although their drawback is their seeming lack of gameness and stamina. However, because of other infusions made b breeders, there alread are Brown Reds that are game enough, lasting for more than 37 minutes. %n the drag fight, these fighters are defensive and ver calculating, uncharacteristic of a t pical Brown Red. K +emon G4 8riginated b the legend "aeng Araneta, +emon G4 has become the base used b most Bacolod breeders. <ntil presentl , this line is still winning. Basicall from the Hatch&Butcher&$laret blends of the late 'uke Hulse , "aend has been able to create subfamilies from the original stocks. +emon G4 Ccalled as such because the original brood cock had leg band number G4D comes lemon hackled, pea combed or straight& combed and ellow and green&legged. Although lacking in

gameness, +emon G4 makes up for it with its almost automatic, instinctive and precise sense of timing when it clips the opponent in mid&air and throws his fatal punches or counterpunches. This is its most sought&after trait despite its medium or low station. K Muff

;erie looking because of the feathers on its face, the Muff is known for its aggressive frontal fighting st le. Muffs throw a barrage of blows with no letup or billhold. Although low&stationed, Muffs have an unerring sense of accurac when it comes to the cutting

department. Basicall red in color, the come ellow&legged and pea combed. 6oted breeders of this famil are Bill Ruble, .ohn (ears and 'r. .ohn ,oJura. " le " le is a plumage color that denotes one that is not red, gre or black. " les come white, blue, dom, off&white, off&gre or off&red colors. The are white&legged or ellow&legged and straight or pea combed. The are known for their high fl ing st le and accurate cutting. Man are not deep game as Hatch or 5hite hackle, but there are " les that are as game. $urrentl , the are crossed with the sturd and hard lines to hopefull strike the perfect blend of fighting
