Butcher Bloodline - Fighting Cocks

Butcher bloodline is a result of crosses between White hackle fowl and Spanish Speeders. This comes out with a faster version of white hackle fowls. This family of game fowl lovers developed a fast breaking red game fowl that  up to this date is very important breed, that when blended into the new models of game fowl, would improve the winning percentages of the cross.

This butchers are quite unpopular these days because of; 1. Their low station, although their long thighs and short shanks make them deadly at the draw; 2. Deep keeled, almost slab sided, those familiar with them, gives that extra kick that makes the difference between a win and lose in the board. The butcher game fowl was originated by the Marsh family namely, Phil Marsh (1869-1945), Bill Marsh (1894-1977), Alfred Marsh (1897-1971), Phil Marsh II (1918-1995).
