I can show you a man who claims to have letters from Allen in which he claims his strain was kept good by careful inbreeding. Let’s take the Allen Roundheads as a well-known example. A whole hell of a lot of us are not positive how last season’s chicks were bred, and them right on our own yard at that. Ninety-five percent of us gamefowl breeders don’t know how our own fowl are bred further than two or three generations back. If any man ever hit the nail on the head, it was Henry Ford when he said, much to the disgust of our scholarly element, “History is the bunk!” Much of the history taught in our schools is just that, or at its best inaccurate reporting of past events, and all game fowl history is absolutely bunk. Now, after a lot of developing into the history of present day families of fowl, it makes us laugh right out loud. Every time we read in a game journal or hear someone arguing about how a famous strain was bred, it used to make us smile.
