How to get rid of rooster tail hair
Dubbing roosters 101
hey guys this is Wes tutorial game file
and this is the video that everybody was
wanting to see and this is the video
that I'm going to do
trimming dubbing cutting the columns of
your rooster I want to go ahead and give
you a crash course of why it's important
to cut the cones all-rounders wherever
you have a rooster and it gets cold and
they've got a high confit comb you know
whatever a short huh whatever it may be
they get frostbite during the winter
when your guards get frostbite what
happens is is their combs will turn
black and eventually that the frost spot
will spread to their head and in fact
their whole head and ultimately kill
your end
you
that's the purpose of trim it is not
illegal to turn our burdens it's
actually a show standard for fairs and
burn competitions and sub it shows
standards for American games to be
trimmed
they need to be trimmed in order for
them to be healthy
another thing is whenever you have combs
on your Birds that's just another thing
for them they get infected and for birds
to be pecking at and messing with and it
causes problems it's a health issue just
like a bad knee using this analogy it's
just like the foreskin are on your penis
when you get it when you get a when
you're born they clipped the foreskin
because it causes health problems they
can cause infections you can tell stuff
like that just from all the stuff to it
so that's all this is why I said it's
not illegal it is a pretty pretty rough
process if you don't know what you're
doing it does not hurt the birds it's
just like clipping your fingernails
it's like quicken your fingernails it
does bleed there is going to be blood
not a whole lot I get the blood stopped
very fast and I'm gonna go through all
the steps of how to do it properly and
the correct way there's different
methods you can use you use scissors you
can use scaffolds you can use razor
points and this X in this video i'm
gonna be using scaffold that's what i
prefer using it makes a very clean cut
it's very fast and it's all around and
my opinion I think it's all-around
better view scissors obviously other
methods this is a method that I prefer
this is a method I'm comfortable so
I want to caution everybody that's gonna
watch this video there is going to be
blood the birds not going to be
squalling or squawking or screaming or
anything it's not like that it the worst
he's gonna do be pulling his head and
you know shake it a little bit if the
Bloods running down his head we're gonna
stop the blood very fast after you train
your birds you have to put them in a
keep box you have to put them in a keep
box overnight and let it scab up once
it's scabbed up once it's all scabbed up
and scabbed over and everything you get
thrown back out on the come on
oh no problem throw them back on top
cord put them out it put them back in a
pen put them back with their hands it
doesn't cause any problems but keep them
inside the night that you did it so it
has time to scab up and heal up so what
we're gonna do is we're going to go
ahead and we're going to use the dubbing
box in this video I still don't have it
done sorry so my cameraman we're gonna
rig up the tripod my cameraman is gonna
hold the tone for me and I'm gonna walk
you all through all the steps from our
past for the comfort of the bird just to
keep you happy and as healthy as
possible that's the motto here happy
birds a winner so we're not gonna stress
him out we're gonna stress them out as
little as possible we're gonna get it
done very fast I'll be talking fast I'm
gonna be trying to get the best angle as
I possibly can for this video so I want
everybody to pay attention watch what I
do how to do it and you'll be able to
show your birds and fairs and
competitions before you know so what
we're gonna do what you're going to need
is you're going to need your [ __ ] what
is that stuff
blue flower you're gonna need your
flower and you're gonna need your
cutting too
so we're gonna do this like I said we're
gonna do this pretty fast what you're
gonna do is you're gonna pull this out
and you're gonna make sure you don't cut
all the way down his neck we're just
going to cut right through here
right through here and get that off
clean it clean it clean as can be so
like I said I use a scaffold so it's
very fast that's it
like I said it doesn't hurt the bird
he's not bleeding bad at all right now
see Boston he's not bleeding bad at all
right now like I said he's gonna be
squirming a little bit that's that's
normal it's not hurting him then you're
gonna get the earlobe and pull the ear
lobe out and we're just gonna slide it
slide the earlobe off right like that
and then my buddy Austin here is gonna
switch places with me again very simple
very easy we're gonna pull pull his
waddle and that's it
we got the wall I'm gonna do is earlobe
and be sure you're just cutting skin
guys don't cut their meat you just want
to get the skin and what we're gonna do
just just for shits and giggles here
he's not bleeding bad at all right now
so we're just gonna take a little bit of
flour and we're gonna put on there and
all this does is this right here's gonna
help it a pelvic cake up a little bit
more help it clot and we're gonna show
you all how to kind of comb very easy
very simple you're gonna go from back to
front P combs you're gonna have a little
knot right here on the side while
losting you're gonna have a knot loose
so as you can see he's not bleeding bad
at all I mean it's not it's not
something that hurts the bird they don't
mind it it's just it just makes them a
little uncomfortable I'm gonna let him
kind of regain itself here for just a
second and like I said if you're doing
it the correct way they're not gonna
bleed a whole lot if you're being real
rough and you get their blood pumping
and everything and then you cut you're
gonna have quite a bit of blood come out
but as you can see this guy right here
he's not bleeding you dollars what we're
gonna do the dubbing box didn't work out
as well as well as I was hoping because
like I said it's not done yet this is a
smaller bird I did make a little bit of
a cut on him
and that's fine he's not freaking out as
much now he's got somebody holding him
oh you're gonna are you gonna do is
you're gonna cut all the way down to
their nose yeah but you don't want to
cut into their beak that's very
important don't cut into their beak
always cut back to front and like I said
here comes the blood
all right let's get down man have you
had your rag ready to go get him over
here on the camera awesome
have your rag ready to go and all you're
gonna do is just cover up his head make
sure you keep his nostrils clear every
we'll put put don't put a lot of
pressure on it just put a little bit of
pressure we just want the dried up
really all we're doing right now is just
drawing up the blood that was left in
the comb what you all seen come out was
blood that was left inside this comb it
wasn't blood actually pulsing out of him
so once you cut the blood that you see
most of it's coming from the just the
comb you do have some that comes out
that comes out from the veins as you can
see from the veins that were there which
that's no big deal you take you a little
bit of a flower we're up a little bit of
flour on him we're gonna Pat it down
and the more he comes down the less he's
gonna bleed and like I said guys this is
show standards if you're wanting to show
chickens this is part of what you have
to do this is a parental advisory video
I wouldn't suggest anybody anybody doing
this that's never done it before I
wouldn't suggest just go in and grab it
and start in hacking on your Birds you
can hurt them so you just want to make
sure that the blood gets relatively
stopped before they're ready to go back
up oh he hates that right Donny just
make sure the Bloods you know relatively
kind of cut back a little bit not
bleeding is bad whenever you'd go ahead
and put him back up as you can see he's
got a little bit of blood running that's
completely normal
he'll be back to his old self in the
morning I'll show you all on camera
tomorrow morning what it looks like
after you trim them they're a little
gross looking ain't got a lot but
they're gonna be a lot healthier it's
better for them we're gonna go ahead and
sneak him in the key box and I'll come
out here in the morning and I'll show
you all what they look like after
they're done as I said before it's a
bloody process you know as you can see
I'm from where he's shaking his head and
everything I getting used to having no
waddles I'm I'm covered in blood it's
part it's part of raising chickens if
you
I just want to have if you are if you
guys want to have healthy animals just
have just completely healthy no no
problems if you have a bird that you
absolutely love and you want them to
live for a long time you can either a
keep them inside your house in the in
the heat and in the air-conditioned or
you can go ahead and trim them combs
cause more problems on birds than
anything else more problems in
respiratory more problems and intestinal
infections worms the combs cause the
most problems so anyway like I said I
can't stress enough how important it is
if you have an older bird for them to be
trimmed they need to be trimmed they
need to be they need to be healthy a lot
of people will argue with me over this
oh well I've got a I've got a 12 year
old rooster that's got a high comb
that's not being trimmed or anything
like that you know what you're lucky
that the front of the Frostbite hasn't
gotten yet but if you do show your birds
if you show your American Games
it shows standards that they'd be
touched they'd be done and that is
normally it's a half what you'll see a
lot of people that'll cut half of the
comb and then let it heal up and they'll
just be a little stub of a half of the
combs that is ugly ugly ugly looking it
doesn't look like it should be there
either it's not there what's there I
don't do no in-betweens either cut it
all or don't cut anything all my birds I
do dub I clean them up I make them look
nice and pretty I don't want any health
problems yes it is a lot of blood
that he slung out everywhere they did
bleed a little bit I've had Birds bleat
twice that man I mean I've had birds
that bled them where I had a hard time
getting the blood to stop but I have the
necessary equipment to stop the bleeding
I have blood thickeners I have a quick
stop if he wouldn't have stopped
bleeding then I could have ran inside
grab my quick stop sprinkle it on him
and then boom it would have stopped it
dead on but you know that stuff's a
little bit more expensive than swallows
so what I would suggest is make sure you
have your equipment first off make sure
you have the correct equipment make sure
that you watch this video if you don't
have anybody to show you how to do it
first hand make sure you watch this
video several several several times and
learn it you know everything that I've
done don't cut too deep don't cut too
far down don't don't
halfway cut anything do it or don't it's
either all or nothing
you
anyway um I hope this video has been
educational and helpful to you all
that's what we get into showing some
birds or just into bird health flock
health this has been west of still rail
game pal and you all have a good day
