We frequently see in the gamefowl journals, on the forums, and in person, debate regarding the authenticity of various gamefowl strains. These debates often go in many directions, and rarely have a decided conclusion. In the end, any beginner that is privy to this debate walks away even more thoroughly confused than he was before the conversation began.
Today, I would like to discuss my take on the situation, and while some may disagree, I believe that tonight I will have many cockers nod their head as they read and realize that I am giving a fair representation of their thoughts on the subject.
To begin the discussion, let us imagine a completely fictional, but very plausible scenario. Two cockers are at the show and one asks the other what strain his fowl are. The man replies that they are Kelso. The beginner may wonder, how can these fowl be Kelso, as Walter Kelso passed many years ago. I’m not sure of the exact date of Mr. Kelso’s demise, however I am sure it was in excess of 30 years ago. Since Mr. Kelso has not touched a feather in over 30 years, I really doubt that he had much input to the breeding of this particular cock. So, who deserves the credit for his victory? Should Mr. Kelso receive the credit or does the man who has maintained the strain for decades and still breeds the strain deserve the credit?
Many people argue that there are not true Hatch, Kelso, Kearney or Bacon fowl left in existence. I agree with this thoroughly. Colonel Bacon created a strain of fowl that were very inferior, the name Warhorse was not given to this strain until many years after they left Bacon’s hands and through skilled breeding had developed into a strain that was arguably unbeatable for many years. So why would anyone call their fowl Bacon Warhorse?
In my opinion, there are few that truly believe that there is a true line of any of these strains in existence, including their own fowl. A beginner, at this point might wonder why in the world the man would say his fowl are Kelso if he has no belief that a true Kelso strain exists. The answer can be summed up in one single word “reference”. The name of the strain provides us with a point of reference. If a man says that he has Claret fowl, he is not claiming that his rooster was owned by Colonel Madigan himself, and in most cases, he is not implying that this rooster is identical to the fowl that Colonel Madigan raised. Instead he is simply giving us an idea of this fowl’s traits.
When a man tells me he raises Claret fowl, I know that he has a line of black breasted red fowl, with straight combs, legs that are probably white, but may be yellow, and is an all around athlete. When another man tells me that he raises Lacy Roundhead, I don’t assume that he claims to have been pals with Judge Lacy, but that he is giving me a point of reference regarding the traits and ancestry of his fowl.
Your last name may be Jones. If we go back into history hundreds or thousands of years we might find the ...
