In most gamefowl fights in the past, the 'Texas' or the red gamefowl, often an imported American bloodline or cross was the llamado in betting circles. Odds were always against the white feathered rooster or the so called Talisayin when matched with a Texas.

Urban legend has it that a Talisayin is the stronger fighter ONLY during a Full Moon (snicker) and the first Quarter Moon of the month. And that one should avoid fighting bright red gamefowl because the power levels are evenly matched for both gamefowl.
Other nonsense included: fight only with green or black legged because yellow or white legged gamefowl are LUCKIER during this time. The Harold Brown Greys are also known as Silver Back, colored Greys in their Purity or simply called the Silver Greys.They are an excellent as pure stock gamefowls that can withstand heavy inbreeding for years or used as a foundation for other crosses.when you have a foundation blood that can withstand long term inbreeding to maintain their purity without losing their vigor and other attributes, that shows how special this line of Greys truly are. These greys have the 'THUMP' behind their blows, you can HEAR them cut their enemies. You will be proud to own a Harold Brown Grey as part of your gamefowl stock.The Perfect Talisayin: Regular Greys. The Regular Grey is said to be a combination of three grey families: the Law Grey, the Sweater Grey and the Plainhead Muff Grey.
These three excellent and proven foundation bloodlineswere improved by Freddie Wimberly who received Colonel Madigans gamefowlwho late in age gave them to Harrold Brown and John O Fowler and arethe basis of the regular grey bloodline and genetics. The grey feathering is a dominant trait - and anexcellent bird to cross with the Hatch or Albany. These crosses are forthat problem bird in a line up against you. Regular Greys come green legged, sometimes with yellow, silver duck wings and straight comb. They are medium to low-stationed and are known for power and gameness.

Breeders note that they are as powerful and dead game as the Blueface Hatches. They will enhance any cross with other gamefowl, providing agility, dedication, and lighting fast speed. Because of the similarities between the Harold Brown and the Law Greys, you can combine them with other bloodlines or other Greys for genetic enhancement and stability of a strain. In action, the Regular Grey fight like the whirlwind, in the air or on the ground. Most decent gamefowl can and will be hitting his oponent but the Grey has the ability to cut deep being a power hitter, and not just strike his opponent.
Other fighting fowl are not deep cutters, but when you get your hands on really proven line of Greys, you have a winner.whether the moon is full or not. The Regular Grey is known for power and gameness and is a bloodline from a cross of three other superior stock of grey crosses.
This is why infusion is a smart remedy because it can bring the new set of genes to somewhat rejuvenate and revitalize mental sharpness, health, and other traits of the inbred red family. It is one of the best-kept secrets among old school breeders but they don’t want to talk about it too much. Another reason why most gamefowl breeders of reds, strangely do not sell off their own Greys. But today, there is no snobbery anymore as far as infusion of bloodlines into stock is concerned. If pure stock is indeed maintained, it is done so a base bloodline with its identifiable and known traits can be used for infusion to either maintain or improve another bloodline. An outstanding specimen of a pure breeding stock (free of fault) commands a premium price to serious breeders.
A pureblood sire bull cock can fetch up to a hundred thousand dollars while significantly less for any of his brothers. Serious gamefowl hobbyists are willing to pay the price to acquire the bull cock. Crossing a pure grey cock to the red hens will produce all greys (1/2 grey, 1/2 red in pedigree), both males and females. Breeding back the grey offspring stags to the red hens wil give both reds and greys stags and pullets. The resulting genotype will be pure red although they are 1/4 grey 3/4 reds in their pedigree. Thus, the infusion introduces new blood but does not dilute the core genetic bloodline to an extent that it becomes a different fighting cock altogether.The Fabled Grey / Kelso Cross.
BROODFOWLS FROM OTHER BREEDERSThese are the various bloodlines we had acquired which we continue to linebreed. We are maintaining them as they were acquired and are being bred without any infusion as possible.We had acquired and breed the Dan Gray Roundheads of Gerry Escalona, The Johnny Jumper Out and Out Kelsos of Biboy Enriquez and Lemon Guapo of Mayor Juancho Aguirre. We also breed Dink Fair $5k Sweaters from SM Farms, Bruce Burnett Double Right and Left-out from imported broodfowls, Gilmore Hatches from a Blandy Roland Gilmore broodcock acquired through Bomar Farms and a BB Gilmore broodhen acquired through Firebird. We also have linebred Mc Lean High Action Hatch acquired from 3J Farms. We also got a trio of Black Phoenix from Rob.Other acquisitions are, a pair of Yellow Legged Hatch from Firebird, pairs of Richardson Grays and Butchers from Crowsland, a pair each of Jr. Belt Cowan Roundheads, a Possum line trio of Dink Fair,a pair each of George Neal Kelsos and Joe Sanford Sweaters sent by friends in the U.S., a pair of Madigin Clarets from Redstone Gamefarm and trios of Dink Possum Sweaters, Boston Roundheads, Albanys, Batchoy and Hulsey Grays from RBU Farm.
We had just acquired pairs of Perry Hatch and Mel Sims Hatch and we were gifted with a Jimmy Johnson California Hatch from Tony Lasala. We also acquired Cardinal Kelsos, Leiper Hatch, Wfitehackle and Clarets from EDL Excellence and the famed Cali Hatch of Reongmanchi of RJR Moncada. We are line breeding them and had crossed them with other lines. The battle crosses that we produce are tested in the stag and bullstag derbies.
Even as bullstags, they were fought in cock derbies with encouraging results. They are featured at.We had developed our own lines of off-colored fowls. We have the whites, the blacks and the golds which had all been pit tested and proven. Our doms, hennies and blues are being developed as per design.
You can visit them at the.We had also developed our own strains of Lemon, Kelso, Roundhead, Sweater, Hatches and Grays. They have their site at.We are linebreeding the straightbred fowls we acquired, First, to check their purity and authenticity and second, to maintain the bloodline as we had acquired them.
We are practicing selective reciprocal mating to be able to produce good broodfowls. As we intend to sell most of what we produce, we do not lie about our fowls just to make a sale because we don't want prospective buyers to have the same experience we had with some unscrupulous breeder sellers. We encourage prospective buyers to visit our farm to have the fowls inspected and our records scrutinized before making any purchase.
