Two of them were yellow legged and one a green leg. The yellow legs were bred by those who appropriated the roosters for themselves but nothing noteworthy ever came from these crosses. On the other hand, a certain 'Army' Fox of Utica, N.Y. This fowl was a large, straight comb, broad backed, dark red, with green legs.Īrmy later talked with Mr. Hatch about having the cock, and he told him what the green legged rooster was, that all of its family were straight combs. Hatch but Army's friend claimed the cock had died, and that the green legged cock wasn't his type of fighter anyway.Īrmy said he would send and get the stolen rooster back to Mr. Depite this, Army's friend had raised two or three stags from the green-legged cock, and a hen that was in breeding, Pogmore Whitehackle and Henny, and offered to send Army one of the stags. When the Albany arrived, he was a beautiful, long feathered, large stag, black and red in color.
