What is "Pure"?

[@jbates1463]

I agree 100%. I raised Grey's for years and being around them you get a 6th since about them. If you trust who you get them from. Should be nothing to worry about as long as they exhibit all traits of that specific line. Beautiful Gamefowl you have btw.

[@theamerican6724]

Interesting! I do know this much. Watching your videos have been very beneficial and informative. You always say something that I can build off of... Thank you!

Murphy whitehackle ALWAYS has a single whalirt tale feather even if it is crossed.

Do you have any of your Morgan Whitehackles for sale?

[@gsb_alexx9611]

I have a question and that is if you know anything about the john sears whitehackle

[@ChickenWired]

Not a whole lot other than I was told he had more than one family. Some of them were brassybacked and very big.

[@davidzuniga103]

Hey my guy wondering if your willing tonlet some of them whitehackels go

[@es17yahoo]

I’m looking for Morgan whitehackle hens without brassy back in their line. Do you know anyone who still breeds them?

[@ChickenWired]

best bet would be to check in the whitehackle groups on fb as I am not to sure who has what these days unfortunately

[@meljohnson5387]

Hey do you have any pure Whitehackles for sale

[@mercuryrising5616]

Are those tomatoes you're throwing inside the cages?, is it safe to eat by chickens,, been watching 'what is pure'.

[@ChickenWired]

Yep I've fed them tomatoes for years never had trouble. But I only feed it as a treat.

[@garybaker5241]

Just a word of advice I’ve been breeding gamecocks for over 50 years. If you are really serious about raising game chickens go to a breeder that you know has the real blood. It takes around 3 years to find out what you have to start with. After you start. If you get them from people that say so and so said they were so and so? If you are serious do not get your roosters from breeders you do not know. 99 times out of a 100 you’ll be wasting your time and your money I promise you!

[@ChickenWired]

excellent advice

I have a family of red quill that I acquired, the brood rooster is from one place the two hens are sisters that I acquired from another guy in another state. But when I breed them some might come with a white toe or two. All have green legs and look pure out of every breeding. What could this be a cause of? Thanks in advance

[@ChickenWired]

The entire toe is white or just the underside? It is common for the underside of the foot to be light colored in dark legged birds, wonder if it is just that trait expressing to a more advanced degree.

[@db-mo7br]

It's just one or two toes threw out top and bottom. It doesn't happen every breeding or on every biddie in the clutch. And what do you mean by the trait expressing to a more advance degree

[@ChickenWired]

Interesting. Do you notice their feather color being any lighter than their siblings or anything? All that means is the trait is showing itself in a larger, more visible way. Do the chicks all hatch with the same down color?

[@db-mo7br]

The stags come one color and the pullets come a different color but no difference as far as lighter or darker in color with normal toes or white toes

[@ChickenWired]

I'm assuming you're talking about the adult plumage being different? Reason I'm asking about the down color "color of the fluff when they first hatch" is it indicates if they are showing different genetic bases. Sometimes having different genetic bases causes other genes to act different. The redquills I had carried a little Murphy blood in them. As a result some chicks would hatch yellow with no stripes and would grown up to look more like a yellow birchen or a pumpkin hulsey than a proper redquill. Their legs from what I recall were lighter colored. Leg color isn't where my knowledge is the strongest, though. But still it is interesting. I'd be interested in seeing some video of these birds of yours.

[@mickeytolliver7377]

Talking about makeing pure i have a pair the dad is claret from mexico the hen is hatch does make me a line for my self can u please anser my guestion and can i breed brother and sister

[@ChickenWired]

so if I understand you correctly, you have a half and half pair that is full siblings. the answer is you can breed them but your gene pool will be limited as a result. Despite the offspring being half and half just like their parents on paper some will show more traits of the claret, others more of the hatch. So you will have to decide which direction to breed towards to concentrate those genes. Thing with breeding so close though is any bad genes will come to the surface very fast. So be prepared for that possibility.

[@agranetmedia2667]

For me, Pure means 'true breeding' or 'like breeds like'. If you breed a so-called Purebred X to a Purebred X and ALL of the offspring look like very much like their parents in all traits, you have what can be called a purebred breeding pair. But, if you get chicks that are quite different, with various colors, conformation, size, etc. then one or both parent-birds are NOT purebred.

So Murphy on jj Kelso is radio simple Kelso anything he had was a Kelso and you will get Grey's and Pyle's out of some Kelso the original red horse red quilt from English were yellow legged and after a green leg infusion from the US and then you got green leg Marsh butcher was speeder grey on Grove white hackle which the family still raise all 3 lines
