“The Judge” thought the Blue gamefowl as an aberration and ordered them to be culled, as he preferred purestock 'Reds.' The Judge's son really liked the high stationed Blue chickens so he raised them himself. The farmhands knew him and used the nickname 'Blue' because he liked the unusual birds so much.
'Blue' fought one of the stags at a local derby and after the Judge saw the battle, changed his mind about Blue fowl. Wilkens picked up all the Blues and put the same winning cock of his son back with the Oakley hens and started mating them. When they fed the Blues in their own coop, eating from in tin cups, the fowl made a sound like a typewriter as they were pecking away so the name stuck.
The Judge decided to call them Wilkens Typewriters.
The Judge fought a number of mains with the Wilkens Typewriters and defeated many of the best gamefowl of prominent cockers. One of the more important was against Colonel Madigan, at that time fighting Rangers, which were not up to snuff against the Blue Typewriters. Stakes at that event were $10 thousand on the odd, and $100 on the battle, 21 cocks all.
Sadly, the Judge was murdered by a gang of teen-age thugs who attacked him on a San Antonio street while he was returning alone from a successful day in the cockpit. His handler inherited his yard and kept the Typewriter Blues alive long enough for other cockers to get them and breed them too.
