Thankyou Ron Lutz for allowing me to purchase this fine Golden Birchen Gamecock pictured below.  Ron and "Ned" Bred by Jack Boydston I specialize in historic families of gamefowl. I am trying to help save some of these wonderful breeds. My primary emphasis is with two families of birds, the Yellow Birchen and Duryea Whitehackle. I have the Farris X Davis lines of Yellow Birchen that I breed pure. I also have the Ron Lutz Nunis family of Birchens and a Canary family. My Canary Family came originally from John Sears and were at one time referred to as Greek Fires. I also have a few Pumpkin Hulseys and Eslin Red Quills. It is my belief that with recent legislation making cockfighting illegal, that many families of fowl will be lost. I have never been involved in cockfighting but wish to breed these majestic birds for historic reasons, for show, and for their beauty. There are many people raising ornamental pheasants for their enjoyment as a hobby. I am suggesting that people that raise and show chickens or pheasants should consider raising a family of gamefowl and show them as well. Help stop an injustice that the animal rights groups are trying to do. Why can they pass legislation to supposedly save animals and then the first thing they want to do is to kill all the roosters. Two game chickens fight and do not need trained to do so. My birds are very game will sometimes start fighting when they are quail size. When they start to do this you have to seperate them. If you see someone that has roosters tied out to barrels, that is not a sign that they are fighting them. The roosters are kept apart so they do not fight. Several years ago I had some game chickens running around the barn yard. I gave them to my neighbor and we put them in his chicken house. The next morning every last rooster was dead. They were not trained but simply penned up and couldnt get away from each other in the chicken house. I didnt know better and thats what happened. People that raise pheasants will seperate the cocks. It is no different than gamecocks. We also raise German Shepherds. Our two bitches fight and can not be together so we keep them seperate for the same reason. These beautfiful birds are a big part of our history. They have been bred and yes fought for thousands of years. In the US there are many people that have raised them that have passed them down in their family for hundreds of years. They are a big part of the culture for the Mexican people here in the US and in Mexico. In the Phillipines cockfighting is the national sport and as big there as the Superbowl. These birds were bred and fought by our founding fathers such as George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, and Abe Lincoln. I guess our founding fathers today would all be felons, how sad. It is said that Abraham Lincoln got his nickname, "Honest Abe," by officiating cockfights fairly. If you breed pure Yellow Birchen gamefowl or Duryeas or have any history, pictures or information about them from personal sources or gamecock magazines, please email or call I would love to meet and keep in contact with you. Thanks, Bart 217-257-8343 All fowl raised and sold by The Fall Creek Farm are raised for historic reasons, for brood fowl, and show only! We will not sell to anyone that will use the birds for illegal purposes. Any mention on this site about fighting chickens is for historic and educational purposes only. It is your responsibility to abide by all local, state, and federal laws once you receive any birds from us. allmyfasthorses@yahoo.com |
