North Briton Whitehackle Gamefowl
Bilbie (1982)Throughout the history of, the importance of the hen has, in the majority of cases, been overlooked, and in isolated instances, even ignored. It is my own belief (you may disagree) that any present-day breeder competing in the fierce competition that exists today ignores the importance of the hen not only at his own peril, but also at the peril of his fowl's competitive success and the successful continuity of his strain of fowl.How many men throughout the ages, have clamored for a cock at the pit side that has won a spectacular fight, to take home for use as their prized brood cock?
The pit cock they desire so highly is 'the product' and will not necessarily be 'the producer' in their own brood yards, thus dashing their high hopes for the future.A sensational quite naturally creates admiration, excitement and a desire to possess such a bird, to the extent that the would-be possessor of such a cock loses sight of the fact that it took two parent birds to 'produce' this ace cock. He would be wiser to seek securement of the birds that produced the ace, not the ace himself, i.e. The 'producers' and not 'the product.' Now, either parent bird could have been the dominant producer or what we term the proven cock or proven hen, such specimens being highly prized.
The ace, himself, may well become a proven brood cock, too, and let there be no doubt in anyone's mind that this has proved to be true on many occasions. The failure rate is, however, proportionately higher.A proven sire is always popular in any sphere of bird or animal life, but such a view is only one side of the coin. However, the hen carries the or pedigree of the strain and it is through her that the offspring's prepotency will spring. As the old saying goes: 'It takes two and the greatest producing cock will be nothing without a hen capable of continuing his influence of prepotency. The chips off the old blocks come in the opposite, i.e., the cock influences his daughters and the hen her sons. In other words, the producing cock passes on his qualities to his daughters who in turn pass them back to their sons. Thus the hen carries the sphere of influence of the sire, which is perpetuated through the strain.
The responsibility of the balance in the strain always rests with the hen.In a, be it in-breeding, or cross breeding, with a preference being shown to the male line, it is the hen's influence which keeps the male influence in proportion. Many of the first class breeders will find it a devil's own job to induce such a breeder to sell a hen of the same caliber.There is no doubt whatsoever that some of the taking part in major competition in America today are not only some of America's finest, but also rank among the best in the world. Without exception, the gentlemen not only recognize the values of the hen, they never lose sight of that fact. When they have a proven hen they regard it highly and never part with it. For a beginner to become a force to be reckoned with, he, too, must never lose sight of this all-important principle.
This information is written for the benefit of the experienced fancier who wishes information in a certain instance; and for the beginner for information in general. The following information, though not proven and passed on by any designated authority, is related truth.Our fowl, in common with fowl of other countries, had the same origin. Being unable to give the relative connections make the following information somewhat unlinked.ARKANSAS TRAVELER: Originator, Col. Jim Rodgers of North Carolina. Bloodlines: Arrington fowl. Description: Blue, red, grey, pea and straight comb, red eyes, yellow legs. Shows definite relationship to old Sumatra.
The Traveler in his own right has a very marked and imperative quality to success, I.e. Agility.ROUNDHEADS: The Roundheads originated by crossing Jap & Asil Orientals with Straight Comb Bankava Mediterranean fowl such as English and American Straight Combs.
This began long years ago and is currently practiced (1966). The product is Allen Roundheads, Bostons, Saunders, Sheltons, Lacey’s, Hulseys, Perkins, Killers, Claret Roundheads, Negros, Mayberry, Cowan, Lundy, etc. Allen made his first Roundheads from Grist-Gradys fowl by breeding to the Oriental side around 1900. A second Allen Family were an importation from Massachussetts of Dr.
Saunders Roundheads in the early 1920’s.LACEY ROUNDHEAD hen. Originated by the late Judge Lacey of Alabama. Smart, one stroke clippers who seldom had body contact with opponent. Often stayed sound and unscratched to an old age. Judge Lacey was a master breeder and like Mr. Allen believed in the invincible.
Allen, Judge Lacey’s Fowl dominated the field and for years after his death. Perhaps as important was the Judge’s influence in preventing his associates from using lesser fowl.ASEEL: Originator - an Oriental graded by Graves, McCoy, Rampour, Vizzard, Clark and others in U.S.A.
