What was john waynes most unsucessful movie?
Depends on how you define "unsuccessful."
His first performance in a major film, The Big Trail(1930), was so bad that he was relegated to Poverty Row films for almost eight years.
He put up so much of his money to make The Alamo , and it made so little back; that he was pretty much broke.
Some of his later films, like Brannigan , were critical and box office duds.
I think in Cahill:US Marshal Wayne was forced to ride a mule (donkey/horse cross) due to lack of a better mount. There may have been other movies where he rode a mule but I can't remember.
How much is sword worth in conquerer with John Wayne and Susan Hayward?
The Conqueror was about, of all people Ghengis Kahn as a Hollywood-style GOOD guy indistinguishable from say a Custer of the West or Buckaroo type. The lead actress in the film, and last survivor- real life wise, was Jane Russell, who died last year and was one of three prominent actresses we lost in 20ll, the others being Ann Francis ( Honey West) and of course, Elizabeth Taylor. I don't think Miss Hayward was in the film. Can"t help you on edged weapons.
What are the dates of John Wayne birth?

What was John Waynes last gun called?
I'm not sure what you mean by last gun but the guns he used in his last movie The Shootist were called Great Westerns. Most of the guns he uses in his films were from his private collection. The Great Westerns were historically accurate for the time period that The Shootist was filmed in. Wayne had an extensive gun collection, most of them rare antiques which I think went to his oldest son Michael after his death for safekeeping.
John Wayne - how did he divide his estate?
After any outstanding bills and taxes (Wayne always paid his taxes) the bulk of his estate was divided between his 7 children. I believe there was provisions made for the grandchildren, which at the time of his death in 1979 there were over 20. His widow Pilar, whom he was separated from, was already provided for upon the separation agreement. I believe he also gave the hospital where he died a generous amount so there is now a John Wayne Wing for cancer patients. Shortly before his death he sold his boat The Wild Goose and his cattle ranch in Arizona.

Did John Wayne have a bit part in the 1939 movie Of Mice and Men?
No, he does not.
By 1939, Wayne had starred in dozens of films and was a well-known face in Hollywood, even if most of his films were made in Poverty Row. There is no way he could have appeared in this film without it being noticed.
It very much depends on the breed and the need of the purchaser.
Roosters are often culled by hatcheries as the value of the male bird is often not worth the money involved to raise it to maturity. Other hatcheries sell their chicks without knowing what sex they are and leave it to the purchaser to deal with, Farmers often raise them to about 10 mths old to sell as meat birds. I have seen cockerels sell for as low as $2.00 and just recently I saw an auction where two Ameracuna roosters sold for $72.00 each.
