Gamefowl and Poultry Breeders Handbook

I found this game fowl and poultry handbook and felt the need to post it here for my readers.

Enjoy!

When it comes to Game Fowl health and nutrition follow the guides below for best results.

 Nutrients

The feed which chickens eat is made up of water, carbohydrates, fats, proteins, minerals and vitamins. Each nutrient serves a special need. What we feed supplies the building material for the development of bone, flesh, feathers and eggs. When nutrients are properly formulated and balanced will produce fowl that produce in the manner they were designed, provide eggs for market, table or incubation, and develop a healthy meaty fowl. Each nutrient provides a solitary source, but is not complete, yet when gathered and combined provides the proper balance and energy that a fowl needs.

Water
One of the most important, yet often overlooked nutrients, is water. A young chick needs a constant supply of fresh water to stay healthy. It doesn’t drink a lot of water at one time; therefore, it has to drink often. A fowl’s intake of daily water will depend upon availability and weather conditions. Desiring less in winter and more in hot summer months. Placement of water containers is essential, making easy access to old and young alike. Water also can be a source of bacteria, if not cleaned on a regular basis and therefore should be changed frequently depending upon weather, consumption and exposure. Stagnant or long term standing water can be a host and breeding ground for insects that carry disease to poultry.
Water carries waste products out of the body, helps cool the bird by evaporation, softens feed and carries it through the digestive tract. Water should always be available and fresh. During hot summer month’s water containers should be kept in cool shady areas and not allowed to become stagnant or develop algae build up. Which would allow for the ingestion of microbes or bacteria. Lack of free access to abundant water supply may also slow productivity down. Denial of water can lead to dehydration, molt, dry feathers without sheen, undue stress and the inability to properly digest food. Fowl consume their greatest amount of water following eating or right before roosting.

Wayne Pacelle of HSUS cuaght cockfighting? WOW

Pacelle and Goodwin.
These two former animal rights activists shocked the world when they suddenly appeared in Manila and took home the coveted World Slasher Cup, and have not lost an ounce of momentum since. They vow to win Cocker of the Year honors at every major pit in the world this year, and many think they may accomplish just that. Finally, in this exclusive story, their silence has been broken, and their story told of why they turned their backs on the Humane Society of the United States, and how they catapulted straight to the top of the cock fighting world.

Cockfighting and molesting children- Have they lost their minds?

Just looking at 3 states (the first 3) Alaska, Arizona and Colorado, participating in a cockfight is punishable to the same degree as molesting a child and many other hard core crimes. Our judicially system has gone to far and is out of control.

Take a look at this article on “is this what you stand for” and after reading it you decide.

If your OK with these crimes being treated as equal then your out of your minds also!

Its disgusting that lawmakers are considering a chicken’s life to be as important as crimes like human trafficking, sexually abusing children, manslaughter, human slavery or arson.

I will be eagerly awaiting the Animal Rights advocates to explain how they justify this BS as equal. If your with me I would love to hear from you also.

That Real Old Game Fowl Story

By Will D. Jenkins, “The Chicken Fighters,” Last Frontier in the North Cascades. Mount Vernon: Skagit County Historical Society

One of my good friends at Darrington was Fred Griffith, whom I had known when my folks lived at Lake Whatcom. His father and brothers had built our original log house in Geneva, near Bellingham, in 1905. That’s where I got to know Fred. He played the fiddle and raised game chickens.

In 1917 when I was stationed at the Blue Bird with Ranger Eilert Skaar, Fred was running a little six-stool lunch counter in Dar- rington, called the White Horse Cafe, for the mountain of the same name. The patronage was mainly loggers from Sauk Valley and camps along the Stillaguamish.

Fred had an active sideline, however a surreptitious one, of fighting gamecocks. He owned some mighty fine birds, including Cu- ban Reds, Hatch Clarets, Blues, Grays, and English Games. He swore by his Cubans, especially, and claimed there was never a dunghill among them. Fred had collected quite a few good bets as evidence of his judgment of fighting quality.

Game Fowl Cyber Show To Award Cash and Prizes!

The all new game fowl cyber show has hit the scene and is drawing a lot of interest from breeders throughout the USA. The show will be judged by Anthony Saville of American Game Fowl Society. They could not have picked a better person to judge these monthly contest. Anthony has written the book called the “American Game Fowl Standard” that is extremely detailed on what a perfect gamefowl specimen should be.
