Davis Kelso
 We started our Red Kelsos from Cecil Davis (Tennessee) back in the 60s. Davis used to breed and handled cocks for Walter Kelso. My dad is a close friend of Cecil Davis and had access to most of his special pens. In the late 60s till early 70s, Davis was showing cocks under a combined entry with the young Johnnie jumper of Mississippi. They were successsful as a team. Jumper had access to the best Kelso lines of Davis and became known for it. When Davis passed away, my dad continued his Kelso strains thru getting fresh blood from Jumper. According to Davis and Jumper, the make up of the Kelso blood are genetically a blend of Whitehackles, Roundheads, and some had infusion of hatch. Through the years of breeding these strains, my Kelsos come mostly light reds, a few would show dark reds, they come dominantly in yellow and white legs, but occasionally they would throw greenlegged pullets, they show mostly peacombs, but they come also in st combs. I call these my Davis Kelso strains. I like them and are winning a lot for me all these years. They play smart, they cut well from any angle, they are game. They are best cross to any of my Hatch strains for battlefowls.
