I've been thinking of a new thread to start that would be of good use for the beginner. I would ask that the each person give 2 or 3 tidbits that might help the new folks in the gamefowl adventure. Only proven advice need be given.
1st thing I would tell a beginner is the vast majority of your best fowl will be fowl that is gifted. I understand that everyone can't be gifted fowl, so therefore you have to spend money. Do your homework and really learn all you can about the fowl you are thinking of purchasing. Go vist the seller and if you can take an experienced trusted cockers with you. I advice you not to get chickens just for the sake of getting chicken. In the end you would be advised to start out with no more than 2 good solid families that comp. Each other. If both of them families come from the same man you would be miles ahead. The second thing I would advice is have good secure facilities already in place before you ever start this game. This advice is for a man that has his mind made up about what he's gonna do. 3 Expect to have some bumps and bruises and have your feelings hurt, because I promise you they will happen in this game. Might give more later if there is any interest in this thread.
