DUCKWING 302 Posted June 21, 2010 Report Share Posted June 21, 2010 WELL FELLA , LOOK LIKE .... STREAKY BREASTED REDS THEY ARENT LIGHT REDS AS THEY ARE CROW WINGED PROBABLYS A CROSS OF GINGER AND DARK REDS ...... I WOULD SAY THEY HAVE HAD SOME CARISLE BANTAM PUT INTO THEM BY THE SHAPE .... TOO MUCH UP FRONT AND NO FEATHERING ... ON THE ADULTS THE TRUE OXFORD BANTAM IS A TRUE MINATURE OF THE OXFORD TYPE , JUST BRED DOWN FROM THE BIG FOWL .... A BIT OF ADVICE ..... NEVER BREED FROM ANY COCK THAT FAILS TO KEEP HIS TAIL INTO HIS SECOND YEAR , SOME NEVER DO A FRIEND E - MAILED ME THIS LINK TO A FRIEND OF HIS WHO KEEPS AND BREEDS AMERICAN GAME BANTAMS ........ HAVE A CLOSE LOOK AT THE TAILS AND FEATHERING ON THIS BIRD .... HES AN IDEAL OXFORD TYPE ... AND WHAT BANTAM BREEDERS SHOULD BE STRIVING FOR IF YOU WANT A BANTAM LIKE THIS BREED FROM LARGE OXFORDS OF PERFECT TYPE BUT SMALL WEIGHTS ... YOU LATE BREED EVERY YEAR ... AROUND AUGUST TIME SO THEY HATCH IN SEPTEMBER , FROM THE SMALLEST PULLET WHICH IS PERFECTION APART FROM BEING SMALL AND A SIMILAR SMALL COCK ...... CULL HARD AND BREED ONLY FROM PERFECT SPECIMENS .....EACH GENERATION LATE SEASON ONLY THEN WILL YOU HAVE TRUE GAMEFOWL IN MINATURE ....... ALL THE BEST DUCKWING Quote Link to post Share on other sites

DUCKWING 302 Posted June 22, 2010 Report Share Posted June 22, 2010 NO PROBLEM S.T. , A LOT OF BANTAMS HAVE HAD CARISLE BLOOD ADDED .... I WOULDNT EVEN ADD THAT BLOOD TO A PAN OF SOUP ! BRED DOWN OXFORDS IS THE WAY TO GO .......... IF YOU CAN GET HOLD OF THE VERY FEW AMERICAN GAME BANTAMS IN THIS COUNTRY YOU COULD USE ONE AS A CATALYST .... WHICH WOULD CUT DOWN THE TIME AND AMOUNT OF GENERATIONS ...... IF YOU LOOK AT THE BANTAMS IN THE LINKS YOU WILL SEE BIRDS THAT UNLESS YOU KNEW ..... IF SOMEONE SHOWED YOU A PICTURE YOU WOULD BELIVE ARE NORMAL SIZED BIRDS WHICH .... IMO ...... IS AS IT SHOULD BE !! I ONLY ADDED THE VIDEOS ....... BECAUSE ...... UNLESS A BREEDER HAS SET GOALS IN HIS MINDS EYE OF WHAT HE WANTS ... HES PISSING IN THE WIND ..... ANY BREEDER OF BANTAMS THAT USES THE ABOVE COCKS AS A MODEL FOR A STRAIN WONT BE GOING FAR WRONG ......... ALL THE BEST DUCKWING Quote Link to post Share on other sites
