Real deal Leipers .. NOT "Leiper Hatch"

[trueedge]

I heard him say he took 4 shows to a 5 cock and went 20-0 but this deal about breaking records is bologny ... nobody is keeping records . Same with some of that crowd running RAtliff farm when he was older and say things like him or his son won Best cocker of the Year in Arizona and stuff .... totally made up . I heard one of them big shots that retired to Mexico ... the dude in the ratted out army jacket that maybe shows Jr Belt fowl - he was saying the same thing about winning Best Cocker in OK one year ... no such thing , nobody even keeps track of a single thing like that ...

IDK how true it is but he has a room full of nice trophies.

Chad Bolan, Charles King, there's an old boy in texas, and a few around that have the Flowers Leiper. They're all lighter than "normal"

The real Percy stuff are great power cocks for their weight, I've owned mine for years.

When it comes to power the only difference between Leipers and MOST Hatch is the Leipers arent usually low headed dumb bum rush type fowl and can flat cut ones a$$ off ! I did say MOST Hatch . Ive seen and owned a few old Hatch fowl that could cut with the best of them.
While Hatch and Leipers share a very common ancestry I don't get why people to this day still confuse the two when they were bred by two different men. Guess its the green legs lol .

Im curious, what do U think the “real deal” Leipers do thats so special?

Every Leiper Ive ever seen is kind of like a GOOD roundhead.

Widow creek didnt have leipers he has hatch jeff hudspeth has leipers.or I didnt see Leipers saturday at widow creek when I was there

Goose is right. . .what are you really looking for? Leiper is an old blood just like others and most likely been infused with other blood by the propagator. Jeff Hudspeth from Cedar Creek is a good source if you are looking for the old blood. I have his Leiper that i got in 2000 with no infusion since and still doing great for me. Some are late maturing though. Rick

unfortunately most center on a looks and a OLD names first, then pay attention to abilities.

You are right. Myself I would rather find an old timer who has breed them for years and years. A buddy has some that came from Harry Parr. I forget where Harry received them from. They are game and can cut. He does not sell fowl

Most good heel men with great fowl dont sell but you can buy heel birds from knife men anywhere.

Who is the States would have real deal Leiper gamefowl, and truly knows exactly what they have ... thanks !!

the last person who owns those dark red, green legged fowls before you do is the only one that matters... so going by that, it doesn't really matter if it's leiper or leiper hatch or penneys or rat graves, etc...

that said, I heard that true leipers also come yellow legs... as both he and Hatch owned and fought yellow legged fowls.

They gave him a trophy for it in 84'.. How accurate of a representation it was who knows. He is pretty well spoken of as a good roosterman in circles around here.
