Gamefowl

Breeding game fowl is a good business but not to others
I would like to breed fighting cocks for business but from the day I started it
up to two years it is not good for me. There is no return of investment (ROI)
instead I spend forty thousand pesos in a year and I lost not only money
but also my time and effort. It is very frustrating that all my efforts and
sacrifices will end to nothing. I have question why there game fowl breeder
who start in breeding a little and now they are successful and earn income
in breeding of game fowl. I really love to breed game fowl and I want to
produce quality battle crosses for sale so that I can earn money.
I study and research how those breeders make good business in breeding
of game fowl even they are only small time. What they do is to breed
quality fighting cocks then look for a financer to finance the entry fee in a
derby then if they can get a good winning percentage in the derby lots of
buyer will come to them and buy fighting cocks. Another way on how a
game fowl breeder earns money is to breed then sell the fighting cocks to a
person who buys and sell fighting cocks. They look for a buyer that can buy
volumes of fighting cocks.
Their secret on how to make good money in breeding fighting cock is to
breed and produce quality fighting cocks so that buyers will always come
back and buy your fighting cocks. In that sense breeding of game fowl is a
good business to you. If you breed and sell fighting cocks that cannot make
a good record in a derby only few customers will come to buy and they
purchase it at low price which cannot contribute to your expenses in
breeding.

Old line lemon and battle crosses
One of the famous and legendary game fowl or fighting cocks bloodline is
the lemon. Lemon are very good foundation bloodline that can be cross
breed to any game fowl blood line like roundheads, hatches, sweaters,
grey, butcher and other blood line.
The lemon has a fighting style that is admire by every cockers. Lemons are
vertical flyer and because of that characteristic it can cause a deep wound
to its opponent cock. Lemons are also side stepper which is good because
the opponent cock cannot easily hit a lemon. Lemon fighting cocks is also
tricky and wise and have patience. One characteristic of lemon blood line
that I like most is its ability to give his best during drag fight and to fight up
to the last breath.
The battle crosses of lemon blood line will give you more winning
percentage. There are champion breeder who successfully become a
derby champion that uses the lemon crosses like Juancho Aguire, Eddie
Boy Ledesma, Joe Laureño, Lancey dela torre, Paeng Araneta and Others.
In my case I cross my lemon blood line to dink sweater. The lemon sweater
battle crosses give me more winning percentage. The fighting style or
characteristics of this battle crosses are they are smart like lemon and they
have speed and power. They break high and they can give a good shuffle.
Other characteristic of lemon bllod line which do not like by some game
fowl breeders are they are low to medium station and they are slower
compared to other game fowl blood line. But the secret in the lemon blood
line is the battle cross or its crosses. If you know which blood line you are
going to cross breed your lemon blood line you can get more higher
winning percentage. Game fowl breeding is like an experiment, so do your
experint on which blood line the lemon can be cross breed better.

Scratch box and flying pen
Game fowl breeders and handlers have its own method of conditioning and
preparing their battle or fighting cocks. There is several conditioning
method like the traditional one that I used before which I used the table
exercise. In this method I do table workout for my fighting cocks I used the
table for running exercise of my fighting cock were I hold the fighting cocks
and keep it running. I used the scratch pad so that the fighting cock can
scratch their legs by holding the tail. This method is only good if you have
time and you prepare few fighting cocks for battle. It is not good to use this
method if you are preparing more fighting cocks for battle and if you have
limited time.
In modern days were fighting cocks derby is very popular like the
bakbakan stag derby, world slasher cup, candelaria and other big time
derbies it is good to use the rotation method in conditioning and preparing
your battle or fighting cocks in order to become a champion in big time cock
derby.In rotation method you need to have flying pen. The use of flying pen
in condition your fighting cocks, it can help to develop leg muscle and wing
muscle of fighting cocks. It can also help to reduce fats in fighting cocks. By
using flying pen it can reduce the weight of fighting cocks while the good
body formation is maintained. Having a fighting cock with good body
formation and less weight is an advantage in a derby.
Other conditioning material that I used in rotation method is the scratch
box and chord area. My procedure in conditioning and preparing my
fighting cocks for derby are early in the morning at 4:00 AM I expose my
fighting cocks to light for 30 minutes, at 4:30 AM I put them in a scratch box
for 30 minutes, at 5: 00 am I chord them, at 6:00 AM I feed them, at 10:00
AM I put them in flying pen, at 3:00 PM I chord them, at 4:00 PM I feed
them. Then I repeat the procedure daily by starting to expose them to light
at 4: AM and so on.
Alabama Black Sweater Cross Breeding
The breeding of game fowl or fighting cocks needs more time, money,
effort and dedication. A breeder needs to understand about genetics in
order to become a successful game fowl or fighting cocks breeder. A
breeder needs to know about in-breeding and line breeding in order to
maintain or preserve the original game fowl or fighting cocks bloodline.
Cross-breeding is important to be understood by a breeder in order to
produce a most winning battle cross. Many successful game fowl or fighting
cocks’ breeders in Bacolod City or in Negros are gave more on their time,
effort, dedication and spending money in their breeding of fighting cocks.
Based on my own experience, breeding of fighting cocks is not an easy
task you need to be experimental doing lots of trial and error in order to
arrive in producing quality breeding materials and winning battle cross. I
would like to share to those beginners in the breeding of fighting cocks if
you want to be successful in game fowl breeding you will invest in your
breeding materials. Good breeding materials will lead you to success in the
game fowl breeding. The price of quality breeding materials is very
expensive in a well-known farm. My advice is in order to get a low cost but
very good breeding materials you can to some small time breeder in
Bacolod City or Negros and you can select and buy quality and low cost
breeding materials to them.
In my case, I acquired my dink fair sweater brood stag to a simple breeder
but his chicken are of quality. I also buy a Alabama black hen to a small
time breeder in Negros. I cross breed the Alabama black to a dink fair
sweater and I am very satisfied with their offspring in terms of cutting
ability, speed and power. scvjums4
How I maintain my Sweater gamefowl
The breeding of fighting cocks or gamefowl is very interesting for me. My

interest of fighting cocks or gamefowl started when I was 9 years old when
a piece of land of my grandfather was rented by a gamefowl breeder and
use as chord area of fighting cocks and also for breeding. That is in the
year 1985, I can see and observed every day the routines of the care taker
or handler of game farm. Day feed the fighting cocks at 6:00 am in the
morning and 4:00 pm in the afternoon. Chicks are feed 3 times a day one in
the morning, one at noon time and another one in the afternoon. I learned
also about the basic of breeding like in-breeding, line breeding and cross-
breeding. I got idea from them and I used it today to maintain my dink
sweater bloodline. I learned how to maintain a gamefowl bloodline through
observation and questions to the farm handler or care giver. In my case I
have a simple way on how I maintain my sweater bloodline so that I can
preserve it in long time. I called my way of maintaining gamefowl bloodline
“in and in”. In this method of maintaining bloodline I have my sweater brood
cock and I want to maintain and preserve this bloodline what I did is first I
selected two brood hens of different bloodline a lemon and Gilmore hatch
hen. Then I breed my sweater bloodline to lemon hen (single mating). I
mark the offspring of sweater lemon crosses so that I can recognize and
identify then easily and record it in my breeding notes. Their offspring is
composed of a 50% sweater and 50% lemon. Then I also cross-breed the
sweater brood cock to Gilmore hatch hen (single mate). I also make a
different mark to their offspring so that I can recognize them easily. Their
offspring is composed of a 50% sweater and 50% Gilmore hatch. Finally
when their offspring become matured and ready to breed, I choose the best
offspring (stag) from 50% sweater and 50% lemon and I also choose the
best offspring (pullets) from 50% sweater and 50% Gilmore hate and breed
them. The result is that their offspring become more or less a 100%
sweater and it really looks like the original sweater brood cock in terms of
looks and characteristics. That is my way on how I maintain my sweater
gamefowl blood lne. You can apply it to different game fowl bloodline,
what I like in this method of maintaining a bloodline is that it is easy, fast
and can replicate the bloodline you want to preserve.
Eye color of gamefowl as bases for breeding
The breeding of gamefowl is very challenging since there are many things
to consider when starting up breeding gamefowl. As far as I know the
things to be considered when breeding gamefowl are the foundation
bloodline should have a good quality. A winning bloodline and it is come
from a well-known breeder. The brood cock should be pure not a battle
cross, if it is a battle cross it should be a multiple winner in bigtime derby.
The brood cock is high in station, good body formation and better bone
structure. For the brood hen the characteristics should be high station,
good body formation and both brood cock and brood hen should be in good
health. One thing that I am confused is about the eye color of brood cock or
brood hen to be chosen.
According to some breeder they prefer to choose the gamefowl that has
red eye because it can see clearly then a gamefowl with dark eye
especially during night. As we all know that all big time derbies are usually
held during night time, so they prefer to breed the red eye gamefowl than
the dark eyes.
There are also game fowl that has a light yellow eye, according to some
breeder game fowl with light colored eye cannot see very well especially if
there is a light example fluorescent light. During big time derby lights are
always shinning in the cock pit.
My question is what eye color should be choose or should be considered
when choosing a breeding material? I do some research and I found out
that more game fowl breeder prefer to choose the game fowl with a red eye
because a game fowl with a red eye can see very well during day time,
night time and even if there is a light.
How to maintain gamefowl bloodline
Battle cross is only a product of cross breeding the original or pure blood
line. For example a game fowl breeder has a pure Lemon brood cock and a
pure boston roundhead brood hen cross breeding the two will produce a
50% lemon and 50% battle cross. Pure game fowl bloodline need to be
maintain or preserve. Original breeding material should be keep for the
future breeding. This article will short ideas on how you are going to
maintain or preserve a gamefowl bloodline.
The traditional way of maintaining or preserving a gamefowl blood line is
by in-breeding. For example line-breeding. It is where the pullets is breed
back to her father or the stag is breed back to his mother. After having a
pullet from that breeding breed back again to her grand father(the original
brood cock) or the stag is breed back again to is grand mother and so on…
Another is to breed sister and brother. Some gamefowl breeder do this in
order to preserve their original gamefowl blood line. The line breeding is
also a good breeding method to be used in order to maintain a gamefowl
bloodline. IN my case I maintain my gamefowl bloodline by mating half
brother and half siter. In this method I choose my best broodcock then
breed to different hen. For example my broodcock is Lemon I single mate it
with the roundhead hen, then I also single mate my lemon broodcock to my
Dink sweater hen. And finally I choose a stag from lemon x roundhead and
I also choose I pullet from lemon x dink sweater. To maintain my lemon
bloodline I breed the lemon roundhead stag to a lemon x dink sweater
pullets. With that I make a selection to the pullets and stags coming from
the breeding of lemon roundhead and lemon dink sweater and make it as
my new lemon stock.
Season of breeding fighting cocks
In the Philippines the breeding season of fighting cocks start from the
month of October up to February of next year. The reason why October to
February is ideal for breeding because the temperature between these
months is not so hot and there is not much rain in this season. Stag derby
is popular in the Philippines like the bakbakan ang digmaan and when
breeders start breeding in the month of October the breeding that they can
produced will be banded and then later qualified to join in stag
derby. Most of the fighting cocks or gamefowl breeder joins the stag
derby that is why they start their breeding in the month of October and
some of the breeder breed for stag derby purpose. The eggs produced
during breeding season (October to March) have a higher percentage of
hatchability compared to eggs produce in summer season. Another point
why it is ideal to start breeding in the month of October is that during when
rainy season comes (Starting the last week of May to August) the breeding
you produced is already a stag during rainy season and it can resist to
heavy rains. It is not Ideal to breed during rainy season and summer
season because it will cause high mortality rate to your chicks. Breeding
during rainy days will cause to loose in the part of breeder in terms of
money, time and effort. Before you start on breeding you need to select
the best breeding material, you need to do the following, deworm, delouse,
trim and give vitamins like B-Complex and proper feeding by proving your
broodcocks or brood stag and broodhen or brood pullets a better breeder
pellet. Providing a better brood pen with enough space, sunlight and grass
can help to have healthy environment to your birds.
Breeding season for fighting cocks
Gamefowl breeders are now preparing for the breeding season because
from October up to March is an ideal to breed gamefowl or fighting cocks.
The breeding of gamefowl needs more preparation because if a breeder is
not wel-prepared your breeding of fighting cocks or gamefowl will result to
loose of money. The basic things you should consider in the breeding of
gamefowl is that to have a good breeding materials that can produced
better fighting cocks that can compete in small or even bigtime derbies like
the bakbakan, candelaria international derby or world slasher cup.
Having a good material before breeding is very important so that your
breeding will end right because you start it right. Good breeding materials
can produce quality fighting cocks with characteristics of high station, good
looking and excellent fighting style. Aside from having better breeding
materials it is also important to set your goals for example you breed
because you are going to sell your fighting cocks or you are going to join in
a derby. After setting your goals you need to find a handler or care taker
that will take care of your birds. You need also to find a place that is ideal to
breed fighting cocks and construct a breeding pen and other things needed
in the breeding.
Before mating the brood cock and hen make sure they are in good health
and conditions. Meaning you need first to condition your breeding materials
so that they give you a healthy chicks. After you can produced out of your
breeding don’t forget to apply vaccination in your birds. In my case I start
with B1B1 lasota, then bronchitis and fowlfox vaccine.
Giving vaccine to your bird can help to secure the health of your birds and
it can prevent some diseases. A healthy fighting cocks is advantageous to
the sickly one, so always make sure that you give proper feeding, vitamins
and vaccination to your birds. You need also to know about genetics like in-
breeding, line-breeding, and cross-breeding.
The breeding of gamefowl or fighting cocks for me is trial and error
because you need to breed and cross-breed fighting cocks until you can
find the best battle crosses that can give you more wins.
How to maintain game fowl bloodline
As breeder of game fowl it is very important to maintain the bloodline that is
tested and give you a high percentage of winning and championship in
major stag derby like bakbakan and cock derby like world slasher cup.
There are many ways used by game fowl breeders to maintain the
bloodline of fighting cocks. The common is breeding of offspring back to
parents or breeding of a full sister to full brother. For me that technic is
good in preserving or maintaining a game fowl but I have another technic
on how do I maintain a game fowl bloodline.
The method on how to maintain a fighting cock or game fowl bloodline is
very important to a breeder. In my case I use the in-and-in method in
maintaining my game fowl bloodline. In this method I did not mate offspring
back to parents and mating full sister to full brother. What I did to maintain
bloodline is I select my finest brood cock for example I would like to
maintain my Roundhead bloodline, to do that chooses my best two hens for
example a lemon and hatch. I breed these two hens to my roundhead
brood cock and make sure to identify the eggs off two hens for example the
egg of lemon is identified and also the eggs of hatch. When the eggs of a
lemon hen hatches and later grown up I choose the best stag (50%
roundhead and 50% lemon). And I also choose the best pullets produced
by the hatch hen (50% roundhead and 50% hatch). To maintain the
roundhead bloodline I breed the stag composed of 50% roundhead and
50% lemon to a pullet composed of 50% round head and 50% hatch. The
result of that mating is an offspring with a high percentage of a roundhead.
In that way you made to maintain your game fowl bloodline, in the example
is the roundhead. You can apply this method to your own needs and on
your own bloodline that you want to preserve or maintain.
My own method of breeding fighting cocks
The breeding of fighting cocks is very challenging because you need more
time doing trial and error, money and effort. In order to become a fighting
cocks or game fowl breeder it is important that you have a knowledge on
genetics in order for you to produce the best fighting cocks that can
compete in big time derbies like candellaria, world slasher cup, big time
stag derbies like bakbakan and digmaan derby.
Breeding concepts like inbreeding, cross-breeding, line- breeding and
others are also need to be understand by the fighting cocks or game fowl
breeding. The concept of in-breeding is that you are going to breed
brothers and sisters, the purpose of this type of breeding is to preserve the
bloodline. Cross-breeding is the type of breeding were game fowl bloodline
is cross-breed to other bloodline like the cross breeding of lemon to
sweater. This type of breeding is used to produce a battle crosses. Another
type of breeding is the line breeding was offspring is breed back to his
mother or her father. The purpose of this is to retain the good qualities of a
parent.
My own method of breeding in order to produce a breeding material is I
choose a brood cock for example dink fair sweater, then choose two brood
hens example lemon and the other one is roundhead. In order to produce a
brood stag to be use as breeding material I breed my sweater brrod cock to
a lemon brood hen to produce a 50% sweater and 50% lemon offspring
and called it as output A. Then I cross breed my sweater brood cock to my
roundhead brood hen to produce a 50% sweater and 50% roundhead
offspring and called it as output B. Then finally I cross-breed output A to
output B, then the offspring that produced by cross-breeding output A and
output B is the one I use as my breeding material. It is likely the same
characteristics with my original sweater brood cock. Now I can produce
battle crosses out of the output from cross-breeding output A and output B.
Business in breeding fighting cocks
Starting a business is not easy because there are competitors who are
good in making money out of business. I am thinking what kind of business
I should start but I can’t think and find answer to my question. I want to
produce products and later sell it to the market but I can’t think of product to
be produce. One day I come to an idea to invest in gamefowl breeding and
my goal is to produce winning fighting cock. In that sense if I can make the
best fighting cock I can sell it and I can have more money.
As I read and study some of the concepts of breeding, I learn that

gamefowl breeding is not easy because you need money, time and effort in
order to produce a winning line gamefowl or fighting cocks. You need to
buy quality breeding materials like brood cock and brood hens and you
undergo trial and error until you can find the best crosses that can have
higher percentage of winning in the pit.
Knowing that reality in the breeding gamefowl is so difficult in terms of
having more time and money to invest. Aside from that you need to find a
farm to be used in gamefowl breeding. I thing this business is not good for
me to start with. One day I meet one of my friends who breed fighting cocks
I talk to him that I want to breed fighting cocks luckily he gave me some
advice and his dink
fair sweater brood stag to me.
At that time, I have brood stag to be used in breeding; All I need is a brood
hen or pullet so that I can start the breeding. I went to my brother’s home
and he has a Mc Clean hatch hen and he offer it to me I bring home it and
in the following day I set up a breeding pen and prepare my brood stag and
hen for breeding. I delouse, deworm and do some bacteria flushing before
start breeding them.
After several months I produced offspring from the sweater x mc clean

crosses two stags and four hens. I pit the two stags in hack fight and they
win all with a little scratch. I breed back the stags to their mother then I got
¾ mc clean hatch and ¼ dink fair sweater. I breed the four hens back to
their father and I got ¾ dink fair swaeter and ¼ mc clean hatch. Later I
acquire hulsey lemon brood cock and I breed it to my hens and produce a
3-way cross the lemon x sweater x hatch. I tested this battle cross and give
me more winning.
I sell my stags at PHP 3000 and my cocks at PHP 5000, the business in
breeding of fighting cocks need more time to produce winning battle stag or
cock, but if you find the winning crosses you can have money out of it. You
can sell it online or in local buyer at your place. Gamefowl or fighting cocks
breeding is now one of the business that is growing.
Experiment in lemon as foundation bloodline
The breeding of fighting cocks or gamefowl in order to produce the most
winning bloodline is very difficult. Today cock derby and stag derby like hari
ng rueda, araw ng Davao, world slasher cup bakbakan, digmaan and other
derby are very competitive. Lemon gamefowl are old line and still a winning
bloodline of today. As a gamefowl breeder I have experiment with the
lemon gamefowl and I found out the the crosses coming from lemon are
better and give me a battle cock who are vertical flyer, side stepper, brainy,
and has good cutting ability.
Original lemon gamefowl are low to medium in station, although their shank
are short but their drum stick are long and that is one thing I like them
because the lemon can cut very well. There are many gamefowl or fighting
cocks breeder who use lemon as their foundation bloodline. They cross-
breed lemon with other bloodline in order to produce a winning line battle
cross.
As I experiment with the lemon gamefowl I found out the the power of
lemon is if you know how to cross-breed them. Some of the successful
crosses of lemon gamefowl or bloodline that are tested and up to now are
still winning are the lemon roundhead, lemon sweater, lemon grey, and
lemon hatch.
I also found out in my experiment of lemon gamefowl that the station of

lemon that is low to medium is not a dis-advantage because the fighting
cocks throw their punches like in hugging motion and being low to medium
in station they can cut very will and produced a deep wound and their
punches almost hit in the opponent. Lemons are like snipper they can kill
their opponent easily in just one shoot.
I found out that some of the well-known gamefowl breeder champion are
using lemon as their foundation bloodline in order to produce a better and
winning line battle cross. One of the breeder quoted this “ you are not a
breeder if you do not have lemon in your game farm”.
Most winning bloodline
In cock fighting winning in the pit is very important because it involves
money. Producing a winning line in the breeding of fighting cocks is very
difficult in the sense that you need to undergo several experiment, trial and
error and you are going to spend more money and time. In order for you to
save time and money for the quest of producing a winning bloodline you
need to find out what blood line are most winning. If you find answer for
your quest on what particular fighting cocks bloodline is winning you can
acquire it to some known fighting cocks’ breeder who breed that wining
blood line buy it to them and you can start your own breeding.
The most winning blood lines are the kelso, roundheads, lemon, and
hatches family of game fowl. Kelso game fowl are very good to be use as
your foundation blood line; you can cross-breed kelso to any bloodline for
example to hatches. The well-known breeder of kelso in the Philippines as I
know are Biboy Enriquez of Firebird Gamefarm and Raffy Yulo of Rapapap
game farm. Rounheads are also use by many game fowl breeders to
produce the most winning line. As far as I know Lance de La Torre the
“Master Breeder” is one among those who breed the Roundeads in his
Redfoot gamefarm. Roundheads are very good to cross-breed with the
lemons. Lemon is the foundation bloodline use by most Bacolod gamefowl
breeder in Negross. Some of the breeders of lemon as far as I know are
Eddie Boy Ledesma of Fire and Ice gamefarm, Joe Laureño of JVL & Sons
Gamefarm, Mayor Juancho Aguirre of JGA Gamefarm and others. Lemon
are good to be cross-breed with grey, hatches, kelso, roundhead, and
sweatrer. The most winning line who record in some prestigious fighting
cock derby like world slasher cup are the lemon crosses.
In order for you to produce the most winning bloodline you need to have a
winning material like brood cock and brood hens. And it is important that
you understand genetics and basic breeding concepts like in-breeding, line-
breeding, and cross-breeding.
Factors on how to be a champion breeder
The derby that I am referring in this article is about the factors to be
considered in order to become a champion gamefowl breeder in cock or
stag derbies like world slasher cup, candellaria derby, bakbakan, digmaan
and other derbies. There are lots of cock fighting enthusiast that ask on
how to become a champion in cockfighting derby. To become a champion
is not an easy task because cock fighting today is very competitive.
In order to become a champion game fowl breeder you need to consider
several factors like blood line. In the breeding of gamefowl the choice of
good bloodline to be used in your breeding is very important. A superior
gamefowl blood line has a great factor that can contribute to you to become
a champion gamefowl breeder. After you can find a superior game fowl
bloodline you need to condition your broodcock and broodhen, a healthy
breeding material will produce healthy offspring that will lead in your
success and become a champion gamefowl breeder. After your broodcock
and broodhen produced their offspring you need to take good care of their
offspring, give them proper nutrition and proper vaccination to insure they
will grow healthier. When they already growing up and become a stag
continue to give them proper nutrition, vitamins and provide them training.
You can construct a scratch box, flying pen, and running pen that you can
use in training of your fighting cocks.
If you decide to join in derby you need to prepare them by giving a pre-
condition program. After pre-conditioning, you can prepare them to start the
conditioning using a 21-days conditioning method or whatever method that
you want. If you do not know how to condition your fighting cock, you can
find a handler that will be in charge for the conditioning of your fighting
cocks. In derby or cockfighting the tying of gaff or “tari” is very important.
You need to find someone you can trust to tie the “tari” in your fighting
cock.
Lemon foundation bloodline
The lemon bloodline is still winning as of today and when cross breed to
other bloodline like roundhead can compete against modern game fowl like
the sweater. Manny game fowl breeder especially Bacolod breeder are still
using the Hulsey lemon as their foundation bloodline. Some of the Negros
breeder like Lance de la Torre, Mayor Juancho Aguirre, Eddie Boy
Ledesma, Joe Laureño, Choy Ampil and others are among popular
breeders who have Hulsey Lemon in their gamefarm.
Lemon bloodline is also one of the best game fowl for me because of their
gameness and fighting style such as brainy, smart, accurate cutting ability,
vertical flyers , excellent timing and I like lemon because instead of ducking
they side step. Lemon are my foundation bloodline, I cross breed it with
dink sweater. Lemon are low to medium in station but when cross breed to
dink sweater who are high station will improve their station and produced a
better battle cross with a fighting style and gameness of lemon and better
fighting style in the air.
Some lemon crosses that produce successful battle cocks are lemon cross
to hatch-claret, lemon - blue face hatch, lemon-cecil greys, lemon-dan
grays, lemon-boston roundheads and lemon sweater. Some of the game
fowl breeders who became champion in the international derby who have
drops of lemon bloodline in their game fowl use in derby are sir Paeng
Araneta, sir Lance de la Torre, sir Bob Cuenca, sir Peping Ricafort and sir
Tony Trebol.
In my own opinion, lemon bloodline is the past and the future foundation
bloodline. You can cross breed lemon game fowl to any bloodline and it
can produce a winning battle cross. Although lemon is not beautiful in
appearance but I believed that cockfighting is not a beauty contest, what is
important is, it give you more win in the pit.
Kelso foundation for gamefowl breeding
The breeding of gamefowl is not an easy job. In order to become a fighting
cock or gamefowl breeder you should know about the concept of breeding
and genetics. A gamefowl or fighting cock breeder should be
knowledgeable about in-breeding, cross-breeding, line breeding, and other
types of breeding. To become a successful gamefowl or fighting cock
breeder it is important to have knowledge about the different bloodline like
the kelso, hatch, grey, clarets, roundheads, butcher, white hackle, and
other foundation bloodline.
There are gamefowl or fighting cocks breeder who use kelso as their
foundation bloodline because kelso is versatile and can be cross-breed
with the different gamefowl bloodline that can produce better battle cocks.
They prefer kelso to be their foundation bloodline because kelsos have
been known to be really smart fighters on top of power, speed and multiple
shuffle or evasion tactics. Kelso are best to cross-breed with sweater,
brownred, hatch, and roundhead. Aside of using kelso as the foundation
bloodline, some gamefowl breeder also use the grey, hatch, lemon,
roundhead and clarets as their foundation bloodline.
Today kelso gamefowl are still winning in some major derby competition.
Some are pure and some are cross-breed with other bloodline. Personally I
like kelso because of their smartness and fighting style who can make side-
steps and wave, and they are both good in air and ground assaults. I like
kelso as the foundation bloodline in breeding of fighting cocks because
kelso is best to be cross-breed with any bloodline that can produce a very
competitive battle cock or stag that can be use in some derby.
Prevention of gamefowl diseases
As gamefowl or fighting cocks breeder the prevention of diseases is very
important because gamefowl are prone to diseases and when it hits on
your birds it can cause too much money loss to a breeder. How to prevent
gamefowl diseases? And what vaccination is going to apply in order to
prevent gamefowl diseases?
Some of the of the gamefowl or fighting cocks diseases and vaccination are
gumboro disease which is a contagious viral infection of a young chickens.
For gumboro disease some gamefowl breeder use the hipragumboro
GM97 vaccine. This kind of vaccine for gumboro deisease is a live strong
but safe vaccine which can be given even in the presence of high level of
maternal antibodies . The administration can be through eye drop, mouth
drop, nose drop, drinking water or spray.
Another type of gamefowl disease which is common is coryza which

characterized by an acute respiratory disease which is fast spreading. The
symptoms of coryza is birds have swollen facial tissues. One of the
vaccines that can be used in coryza is the Coripravac AH which provides
protection against A, B, and C serotypes of infectious coryza.
New Castle Disease or NCD is very dangerous gamefowl disease because
there is no treatment for this only prevention through vaccination. NCD is a
gamefowl disease caused by a virus. The symptoms of NCD includes
respiratory disease and gut lesions leading to poor growth, nervous signs
that include paralysis and twisting of the head and sudden death. Some of
the vaccines that can be used against new castle disease are 1. Hipraviar-
clon which is live cloned NCD vaccine used for priming and booster
vaccination. 2. Hipraviar-B1 which is a live NCD B1B1 strain vaccine used

Lemon gamefowl cross breed
Last week my friend gave me a lemon pullet which came from his winning
line lemon gamefowl he told me that I am going to cross breed it to my
hulsey grey. The father of this lemon pullet is a five times winner and now a
five year old cock. Lemon gamefowl are medium stationed known for its
smart fighting style, an offbeat sense of timing that catches its opponent
with powerful single stroke killing hits. It is a vertical flyer, is known to
sidestep and counterattack.
Lemon is also one of my favorite gamefowl bloodline because as I

observed lemon gamefowl will fight up to their last breath. They will never
give up to their opponent cock, they will continue to fight even they are
heavily wounded.
Some say it lacks gameness but crosses with Albanies, Kelsos and
Sweaters gamefowl will produce a better battle cock. In my case I would
like to cross breed lemon gamefowl to my duke Hulsey grey, because the
best lemon gamefowl are also come from the legendary gamefowl breeder
Duke Hulsey. The hulsey grey and hulsey lemon are the winning line of
some gamefowl breeders from Bacolod City, Negross Occidental. As far as
I know, one game fowl breeder in Negros sir Eddie Boy Ledesma of Fire
and Ice is one of the breeders of hulsey lemon and hulsey grey.
The lemon game fowl are old line but still winning line as of today. Some
said that one dis advantage of lemon gamefowl is they are medium
stationed but I believed that in cock fighting it is not on whether high or
medium stationed, it is on the bloodline that are winning line and lemon
game fowl is one of the winning bloodline as of today that can compete to
modern gamefowl.
Sid taylor black sweater cross breeding
It is true that the life of a game fowl breeder is full of challenges. There are
many challenges that you can encounter when you are a game fowl
breeder in order to have the best fighting cock crosses. This breeding
season I will try to cross breed the Sid Taylor black to a sweater game fowl.
I like to cross breed sweater to Sid Taylor black because of the fighting
style of black that is known for their speed and cutting ability. The green
and white legged blacks fight as multiple hitting flyers or shuffler, while the
black legged ones are known as stylish cutters that can hit anywhere with
offbeat timing . Sid Taylor black also fight as vertical cutting flyers, flying
straight up rather than at an angle.
The sweater game fowl have excellent gameness and power that their
relentless attacks simply overwhelm their opponent. They used to lack
endurance, but infusions into their bloodline like cross breeding it to Sid
Taylor black made them the most feared opponents they are today. In the
air they are a match with almost any air fighter but on the ground, they
literally trample their opponents to submission. They have very long
feathers, especially at the tail. They are red breasted and are yellow
legged.
Since sweater are used to lack of endurance, it is good to cross breed it

with Sid Taylor black game fowl to produce an all-around battle stag or
cock. I noticed that today there lots of game fowl breeder who breeds black
like the famous Mel Sim black. In some major derbies today, the black
game fowl are very popular and they have good winning percentage in the
pit.
Native chicken supplier
I am a small breeder who breeds native chicken and I am a supplier of
native chicken in some of the market in Bacolod City Negros Occidental.
There is no problem when it comes to marketing of native chicken. Chicken
aging four to six months old have high demand and command a good price.
Each head may cost P160 for live and P180 for dressed. Middlemen,
market vendors, neighbors , and walk-in individuals are the common
buyers of native chicken.
Raising of native chicken is a small business that can be manage even if

you have a full-time job. You do not need to personally take care of them
every day. You can find some body who will watch over them and feed
them everyday and just visit them every week. In raising native chicken,
you need to start with choosing the type of breed you want, for example
(darag native chicken, and jolo), and then a place where you are going to
breed them, a capital to buy some materials for the chicken house, fence,
feeding materials and water container. In my case I breed darag native
chicken, asil or jolo, and kabir chicken. I cross-breed them in order to
produce a high quality native chicken.
Today the demands of native chicken is good, there are restaurants, resto
bars, and other hotels who are looking for the supplier of native
chicken because they need it in one of their menus. Some of the popular
menu for native chicken are native chicken lechon, native chicken
barbecue or inasal, chicken tinola, and native chicken binacol.

Pure Asil
Asil chicken for sale in Bacolod City Negross Occidental, Philippines. The
Asil or aseel chicken is originated in India and they breed for cockfighting
and some for ornamental, they are called sometimes in other places of the
Philippines as Jolo. The Asil chicken is considered as the strongest game
bird in the world. They are always Pea comb, they can adopt in all types of
climates, and their egg productivity is low. The asil has variety of color that
is usually black breasted, spangled, white, red and wheaten. Asil or aseel
chicken are very muscular, their feathers are hard, short and the feathers
also split at the breastbone. The asil or aseel chicken laid eggs seasonal
and not frequent, that is the reason why they are somewhat rare.
I breed asil or aseel chicken because they have high resistance in
diseases; they are good source of meat and eggs.
Asil or aseel are also breed for cock fighting purposes, they are good in
terms of endurance, they can fight up to 1 and ½ hours, they have strong
bones, and muscles.
I started to breed asil or aseel with two hens and one roaster, the hens are
big and tall, and their color are black, one hen is yellow legged and the
other hen is a green legged. The roaster that I have is red in color with
some white spots in the breast, tall and big in size, the color of the legs is
yellow. If you breed asil for cock fighting, one characteristic that you need
to find is that you are going to make sure that they have a long neck so that
they can easily turn left and right when they are in the actual battle.
Asil Kabir Cross breeding
Every year more than 50 billion chickens are reared as a source of food, for
both their eggs and meat. There are varieties of chicken breeds found
around the world but for me, I preferred to breed Asil (or Aseel) in our
native language Jolo and Kabir chicken. My reason for breeding them is
that Asil and kabir chicken are more resistant in stress, heat, and other
diseases and their meat has a good delicious taste. They have good body
formation and they grow faster compared to other breeds of chicken. The
Asil Kabir cross breeding is common in the Philippines because aside from
selling their meet, you can also sell their eggs. Their meet has a delicious
taste like our native chicken because they grow naturally in a the range,
they are free to access the natural resources around, fresh grasses, water,
and fresh air. Breeding Asil and Kabir chicken is profitable because
selling their meat and eggs is a good business. For example you start to
breed them in the month of August after 4 months (that is December) let
say your target production is 300 heads, and then by selling it means 300
heads at 150, then you have a gross income of 45,000. After disposing
your first batch of chicken you can then start to breed again and after 4
months you will have another batch of chicken to sell. It is up to you if you
are going to increase your production or not. Start your business now by
breeding Asil and Kabir chicken and sell their meat and eggs. Poultry is a
good business and it is simple and easy to manage.
Free range kabir chicken
One of the potential businesses that you can invest in Bacolod City
Negross Occidental Philippines is to raise a free range kabir chicken. In this
kind of business you can earn extra money while at home buy selling their
meat and eggs. Manny people love to eat free range chicken and fresh
table eggs because of its good taste. The reasons why free range chicken
tastes so good because they are raised outside on pasture, they have
constant access to a natural diet with fresh air and sunshine. You can
start in this kind of business by having 100 kabir chicks; you can buy them
at 50 pesos per head. You need to construct a chicken house for your
chicks that is elevated from the ground. The chicken house is equipped
with a heater (bulb), feeder, and waterer. The chicks will stay their for 3 to 4
weeks. After 4 weeks you need to transfer your kabir chicken to an open
range so that they can access fresh air, grass, sunlight, and other minerals
found outside. Make sure that you need also to provide a chicken house
while they are in the open range. You should have a waterer and feeders
that is set up inside the chicken house so that they can eat their feeds and
drink water if they need it. Outdoor access is important to allow the
chicken to express natural behaviors such as foraging and dust bathing. It
allows extensive production in which the chickens have access to open
space, sunlight, and fresh air, this will help them to reduces stress. You
can breed them during breeding season to produce kabir chicks, and
during times that is not breeding season you can collect their eggs and sell
it. The breeding season in the Philippines start from September to January.
Kabir meat and eggs
Kabir chicken is one of the good sources of meat and fresh table eggs. It is
a breed of chicken from Middle East, and kabir chicken is considered as
the most in demand for backyard and small enterprise flocks, that is why I
breed them. As of March 12, 2013 I have 100 heads of kabir chicken that
is now producing eggs. I continue to breed them for meat and eggs. I sold
their meat for 150 pesos per kilo and their eggs are sold for 5 pesos each. I
am planning to increase my production this year so that I can cater the
demands for kabir chicken meat and eggs. I choose to breed kabir
chicken because they grow rapidly, they have good body conformation and
efficient feed conversion because they can survive by themselves. Kabir
chicken is also resistant to disease and heat stress. Kabir chicken has a
“native” taste and texture. When you are going to cross breed them with
native chicken and Jolo or asil chickens, the Kabir qualities are retained in
the new breed. The feeding cost is low since kabir chicken can also survive
by themselves. Aside from that kabir chicken can be raised in the same
manner as “native chickens” and their egg are low in cholesterol. Kabir
chicken is very popular today because aside from the reasons that they are
good source of meat and fresh eggs, you can also earn money by
becoming a producer and supplier of their eggs and meat. You need a
small backyard and a small capital to invest in this kind of business and it is
easy to manage.

Chicken Avian Malaria Treatment
Some notes for the treatment of avian malaria. Give 0.2cc
sulfaquinoxiline for cocks for the first dose. Then 0.2cc on water the
following dose for another two days. Control if mosquitoes within the
premises and houses with effective insecticides, include spraying the
breeding places of mosquitoes. Proper drainage of stagnant water. Anti
malarial drops like plasmochin, quinine hydrochloride and pyrimethamine
combinations were found effective. Confer with the veterinarians.
Prevention is still better than cure. I don't think Avian malaria sufferers or
survivors should be kept. To prevent Avian Malaria, use a good TMPS
medication once a month for 3-5 days straight. And rid your yard of any
stagnant water which is the breeding ground of mosquitoes that spread
Avian Malaria.
Transmission: Bites of mosquitoes, mechanically by blood transfer as in
mass vaccination, caponization and injection. Some signs of avian malaria
are severe anemia (paleness) extreme leg weakness, emancipation and
nervous signs like twisting of the head. The shanks and the toes are dry
and birds have ruffled feathers Greenish-yellow or greenish white diarrhea.
A bird that has symptoms from Plasmodium spp infection generally has
many parasites multiplying in the circulating blood within a week of the
mosquito’s bite. Birds suffer loss of appetite, fever, weakness, depression,
and shortness of breath. Blood circulation to organs may be impaired, and
the liver and spleen may be enlarged, with anemia due to destruction of red
blood cells. In heavy infections death is common.
To prevent avain malaria, every 1st week of the month give PYRISTAT for
2 straight days. On the 3rd week, TRISULAK powder. Follow the
instructions for the dosage and administration of the mention medicine. The
instruction is found at the back of the product package.
Treatment for coryza or pisik
Treatment of coryza for chicks,you need to mix two teaspoon of trisullak
powder and one tablespoon of laktamino XE in two gallon of water for five
to seven days. For stags and fighting cocks, treatment for coryza is to
give one trisullak tablet everyday to the infected chicken for five days and
inject 0.5 cc of trisullak injectable three to five days and also give three
drops of laktamino XE (oral) for five days.
Infectious coryza is a specific respiratory disease in chickens that occurs
most often in semi-mature or adult birds. The most characteristic symptoms
of infectious coryza include edematous swelling of the face around the
eyes and wattles, nasal discharge and swollen sinuses. Watery discharge
from the eyes frequently results in the lids adhering together. Vision may be
affected because of the swelling. The disease results in a decrease in feed
and water consumption and an increase in the number of cull birds.
Prevention is the only sound approach in controlling infectious coryza. It
usually can be prevented by management programs that eliminate contact
between susceptible and infected birds. It requires only separating affected
or carrier birds from the susceptible population. In order to prevent the
infection, introduce started or adult birds only from sources known to be
free of the infection. If infection occurs, complete depopulation followed by
thorough cleaning/disinfecting is the only means for eliminating the
disease.
From days old up to fight day, there is a big possibility that fighting cocks
can experience several infections. To increase the production of chicks and
healthy broodstags it is important to have proper care and medication to
your chicken to avoid diseases. Chicken especially fighting cocks are prone
to diseases because they are in the open range and because of that they
are easily infected with viruses, bacteria, and fungi usually when there is a
rapid climate change. Always remember that, healthy chicks up to the fight
day, has a greater percentage of winning over the sickly one.
Treatment for halak
Below are some notes for treatment of halak or tips on how to treat this
kind of chicken disease. Halak is a complex respiratory disease (CRD)
whose root cause is an infection by Mycoplasma Gallisepticum (MG). The
MG infection is almost always accompanied with another infection whether,
bacterial or viral.
The signs and symptoms are varied, depending on how severe the
infection is. Some of the symptoms are, bubbles in the eyes which can be
followed by nasal discharge. Chicken, when worked, will be short winded,
have very little energy and will become blue headed if the disease is
severe. In severe infections the chicken will have a fever and will develop
diarrhea or the greens and will lose weight.
MG is spread by many means. It is passed thru the egg from one
generation to the next. The disease can be carried thru the air for short
distances, be carried by wild birds and animals, be transmitted by direct
contact or by sharing feed and water cups, and very importantly, by
yourself on hands, clothing, or shoes.
Tylan is the drug of choice and will control the disease very well. Tylan can
be given by injection or thru the drinking water. LS-50, Spectam, Gallimycin
and Tetracycline are also effective.
Other way of treatment for halak is with the use of the following medicine:
Ambroxitil - is the powder version of amtyl 500 and it is use for the
treatment of chicks. Doxylak – Give 1 tablet doxylak 100mg daily for 5
days. Terramycin LA injectible 0.5 to be injected in breast muscle, one shot
last for 5 days. Amtyl 500mg 1 tablet daily for 5 days is also effective.

to these menu is that “Native chicken tinola is delicious than broiler chicken
tinola”.

Chicken Feeds for fighting cocks
In breeding chickens, whether it is fighting cocks, layers, or broilers it is
important to understand what type of feeds you are going to put in
their feeders. For fighting cocks that are days old to one month, I feed
them chick booster mash. When they are one month old up to five months,
I feed them crumble booster mash. At the age of five months and up, I feed
my fighting cocks with pre-conditioning feeds like Enertone. Different feed
is given to them during conditioning and pointing stage. Usually I used 50%
Thunderbird Platinum pellets and 50% Sagupaan concentrate. During
pointing, that is 3-days before the fight, I feed them ¾ crack corn and ¼
Thunderbird Platinum Pellets.
The feeds that I used to my layers chicken when they are less than one
month old, I feed them chick booster mash, I changed their feeds to
crumble booster mash when they are already more than one month up to
four months old. Their feeds are changed again to laying mash when they
are five months older and up.
For my broiler chicken, I feed chick booster mash from days old up to one
month old, and crumble booster up to the day that they are going to be
disposed, usually when they are 45 days old.
Oriental chickens like, Asil or Jolo, native chickens are feed in different
approach. Ordinary chick booster mash are given to days old chicken, after
two weeks, I changed their feeds to ½ refined crack corn and ½ ordinary
crumble booster feeds. When they reach one month old, I feed them ¾
crack corn and ¼ pigeon pellets.
Coryza treatment - medication
I am a small breeder who breeds chicken (fighting cocks, kabir, orientals).
The usual disease of chicken that I have encounter in my poultry is the
infectious coryza and I don’t know the treatment for this kind of disease.
The symptoms of this disease are the following, nasal discharge, sneezing,
and swelling of the face under the eyes. I do some inquiries to my friends
who also breed chickens. I asked them on how to treat this coryza disease.
One of my friends tells that I am going to use TRISULAK in order to treat
coryza. Immediately, I go to the feeds supply and ask for TRISULAK and
inquire about the dosage for this kind of medicine. The sales personnel of
the feed supply tells me that I am going to give one TRISULAK capsule
every day to infected chicken for three to five days. I follow the advice of
the sales personnel, on the first, I observed that there is an improvement
with regards to the health of my chicken who suffer from coryza, same
thing happened on the second day, and on the third day, the sickly chicken
is already treated.
Aside from giving TRISULAK during the period that the chicken suffered
from coryza disease, I also inject the sickly chicken with complexor b-
complex with iron vitamins, I give them 0.3ml. Electrolytes like aquadox are
also given through their drinking water. It is also important to keep your
sickly chicken in the cage so that they can hide if there is a rain or to much
sunlight.
Raising Kabir Chicken
Aside for raising kabir chicken for meet, you can also raise them for eggs.
In my own personal experiences, I raise kabir chicken for eggs and sell it. I
have 120 kabir chicken and they lay an average of 100 eggs per day. In
one week, I have 700 eggs to sell. While I am enjoying raising them, what
is good is, I have income coming from their eggs. I am planning to have
additional kabir chichen from 120; I want it to become 200.
In raising kabir chicken, you need to give them proper nutrition and care. In
my case I give them vitamins since they are one day old up to the present. I
give them vitamin B-complex and electrolytes. Regular vaccination is also
important. You need also to clean their waterer and feeders regularly.
A healthy chicken can produce healthy eggs, so make sure that you give
proper care, nutrition, and vitamins to your chicken. Your time is also
important, in raising chicken, feeding them is not enough, and you need to
observe them in order to determine the healthy and sickly chicken. I you
identify a sickly chicken, separate them immediately to the group and give
proper medication.
Enough space is also important, In my case I have ½ hectare space with
fench for my 200 kabir chicken. Open space is important so that there is a
fresh air for chicken. You need also to consider the shade so that they can
hide if there is rain or there is too much sunlight.
Guidelines -Tips in Raising Chicken
Hopeful chicken producers can feather their nest egg and have the
enjoyment of raising their own chicken by following some common sense
guidelines. Do you want to raise chicken for egg production or meat?
Chickens for laying eggs are layers, and those that produce meat are
broilers. Successful poultry producers take care of many details to ensure
that their chickens are comfortable. Starting with healthy hatchlings and
maintaining their health is extremely important. Hatchlings should be
obtained from a reputable hatchery with a history of producing healthy
chicken. Identifying the difference between a heBreeding game fowl is a
good business but not to others
I would like to breed fighting cocks for business but from the day I started it
up to two years it is not good for me. There is no return of investment (ROI)
instead I spend forty thousand pesos in a year and I lost not only money
but also my time and effort. It is very frustrating that all my efforts and
sacrifices will end to nothing. I have question why there game fowl breeder
who start in breeding a little and now they are successful and earn income
in breeding of game fowl. I really love to breed game fowl and I want to
produce quality battle crosses for sale so that I can earn money.
I study and research how those breeders make good business in breeding
of game fowl even they are only small time. What they do is to breed
quality fighting cocks then look for a financer to finance the entry fee in a
derby then if they can get a good winning percentage in the derby lots of
buyer will come to them and buy fighting cocks. Another way on how a
game fowl breeder earns money is to breed then sell the fighting cocks to a
person who buys and sell fighting cocks. They look for a buyer that can buy
volumes of fighting cocks.
Their secret on how to make good money in breeding fighting cock is to
breed and produce quality fighting cocks so that buyers will always come
back and buy your fighting cocks. In that sense breeding of game fowl is a
good business to you. If you breed and sell fighting cocks that cannot make
a good record in a derby only few customers will come to buy and they
purchase it at low price which cannot contribute to your expenses in
breeding.
Old line lemon and battle crosses
One of the famous and legendary game fowl or fighting cocks bloodline is
the lemon. Lemon are very good foundation bloodline that can be cross
breed to any game fowl blood line like roundheads, hatches, sweaters,
grey, butcher and other blood line.
The lemon has a fighting style that is admire by every cockers. Lemons are
vertical flyer and because of that characteristic it can cause a deep wound
to its opponent cock. Lemons are also side stepper which is good because
the opponent cock cannot easily hit a lemon. Lemon fighting cocks is also
tricky and wise and have patience. One characteristic of lemon blood line
that I like most is its ability to give his best during drag fight and to fight up
to the last breath.
The battle crosses of lemon blood line will give you more winning
percentage. There are champion breeder who successfully become a
derby champion that uses the lemon crosses like Juancho Aguire, Eddie
Boy Ledesma, Joe Laureño, Lancey dela torre, Paeng Araneta and Others.
In my case I cross my lemon blood line to dink sweater. The lemon sweater
battle crosses give me more winning percentage. The fighting style or
characteristics of this battle crosses are they are smart like lemon and they
have speed and power. They break high and they can give a good shuffle.
Other characteristic of lemon bllod line which do not like by some game
fowl breeders are they are low to medium station and they are slower
compared to other game fowl blood line. But the secret in the lemon blood
line is the battle cross or its crosses. If you know which blood line you are
going to cross breed your lemon blood line you can get more higher
winning percentage. Game fowl breeding is like an experiment, so do your
experint on which blood line the lemon can be cross breed better.

Scratch box and flying pen
Game fowl breeders and handlers have its own method of conditioning and
preparing their battle or fighting cocks. There is several conditioning
method like the traditional one that I used before which I used the table
exercise. In this method I do table workout for my fighting cocks I used the
table for running exercise of my fighting cock were I hold the fighting cocks
and keep it running. I used the scratch pad so that the fighting cock can
scratch their legs by holding the tail. This method is only good if you have
time and you prepare few fighting cocks for battle. It is not good to use this
method if you are preparing more fighting cocks for battle and if you have
limited time.
In modern days were fighting cocks derby is very popular like the
bakbakan stag derby, world slasher cup, candelaria and other big time
derbies it is good to use the rotation method in conditioning and preparing
your battle or fighting cocks in order to become a champion in big time cock
derby.In rotation method you need to have flying pen. The use of flying pen
in condition your fighting cocks, it can help to develop leg muscle and wing
muscle of fighting cocks. It can also help to reduce fats in fighting cocks. By
using flying pen it can reduce the weight of fighting cocks while the good
body formation is maintained. Having a fighting cock with good body
formation and less weight is an advantage in a derby.
Other conditioning material that I used in rotation method is the scratch
box and chord area. My procedure in conditioning and preparing my
fighting cocks for derby are early in the morning at 4:00 AM I expose my
fighting cocks to light for 30 minutes, at 4:30 AM I put them in a scratch box
for 30 minutes, at 5: 00 am I chord them, at 6:00 AM I feed them, at 10:00
AM I put them in flying pen, at 3:00 PM I chord them, at 4:00 PM I feed
them. Then I repeat the procedure daily by starting to expose them to light
at 4: AM and so on.
Alabama Black Sweater Cross Breeding
The breeding of game fowl or fighting cocks needs more time, money,
effort and dedication. A breeder needs to understand about genetics in
order to become a successful game fowl or fighting cocks breeder. A
breeder needs to know about in-breeding and line breeding in order to
maintain or preserve the original game fowl or fighting cocks bloodline.
Cross-breeding is important to be understood by a breeder in order to
produce a most winning battle cross. Many successful game fowl or fighting
cocks’ breeders in Bacolod City or in Negros are gave more on their time,
effort, dedication and spending money in their breeding of fighting cocks.
Based on my own experience, breeding of fighting cocks is not an easy
task you need to be experimental doing lots of trial and error in order to
arrive in producing quality breeding materials and winning battle cross. I
would like to share to those beginners in the breeding of fighting cocks if
you want to be successful in game fowl breeding you will invest in your
breeding materials. Good breeding materials will lead you to success in the
game fowl breeding. The price of quality breeding materials is very
expensive in a well-known farm. My advice is in order to get a low cost but
very good breeding materials you can to some small time breeder in
Bacolod City or Negros and you can select and buy quality and low cost
breeding materials to them.
In my case, I acquired my dink fair sweater brood stag to a simple breeder
but his chicken are of quality. I also buy a Alabama black hen to a small
time breeder in Negros. I cross breed the Alabama black to a dink fair
sweater and I am very satisfied with their offspring in terms of cutting
ability, speed and power. scvjums4
How I maintain my Sweater gamefowl
The breeding of fighting cocks or gamefowl is very interesting for me. My

interest of fighting cocks or gamefowl started when I was 9 years old when
a piece of land of my grandfather was rented by a gamefowl breeder and
use as chord area of fighting cocks and also for breeding. That is in the
year 1985, I can see and observed every day the routines of the care taker
or handler of game farm. Day feed the fighting cocks at 6:00 am in the
morning and 4:00 pm in the afternoon. Chicks are feed 3 times a day one in
the morning, one at noon time and another one in the afternoon. I learned
also about the basic of breeding like in-breeding, line breeding and cross-
breeding. I got idea from them and I used it today to maintain my dink
sweater bloodline. I learned how to maintain a gamefowl bloodline through
observation and questions to the farm handler or care giver. In my case I
have a simple way on how I maintain my sweater bloodline so that I can
preserve it in long time. I called my way of maintaining gamefowl bloodline
“in and in”. In this method of maintaining bloodline I have my sweater brood
cock and I want to maintain and preserve this bloodline what I did is first I
selected two brood hens of different bloodline a lemon and Gilmore hatch
hen. Then I breed my sweater bloodline to lemon hen (single mating). I
mark the offspring of sweater lemon crosses so that I can recognize and
identify then easily and record it in my breeding notes. Their offspring is
composed of a 50% sweater and 50% lemon. Then I also cross-breed the
sweater brood cock to Gilmore hatch hen (single mate). I also make a
different mark to their offspring so that I can recognize them easily. Their
offspring is composed of a 50% sweater and 50% Gilmore hatch. Finally
when their offspring become matured and ready to breed, I choose the best
offspring (stag) from 50% sweater and 50% lemon and I also choose the
best offspring (pullets) from 50% sweater and 50% Gilmore hate and breed
them. The result is that their offspring become more or less a 100%
sweater and it really looks like the original sweater brood cock in terms of
looks and characteristics. That is my way on how I maintain my sweater
gamefowl blood lne. You can apply it to different game fowl bloodline,
what I like in this method of maintaining a bloodline is that it is easy, fast
and can replicate the bloodline you want to preserve.
Eye color of gamefowl as bases for breeding
The breeding of gamefowl is very challenging since there are many things
to consider when starting up breeding gamefowl. As far as I know the
things to be considered when breeding gamefowl are the foundation
bloodline should have a good quality. A winning bloodline and it is come
from a well-known breeder. The brood cock should be pure not a battle
cross, if it is a battle cross it should be a multiple winner in bigtime derby.
The brood cock is high in station, good body formation and better bone
structure. For the brood hen the characteristics should be high station,
good body formation and both brood cock and brood hen should be in good
health. One thing that I am confused is about the eye color of brood cock or
brood hen to be chosen.
According to some breeder they prefer to choose the gamefowl that has
red eye because it can see clearly then a gamefowl with dark eye
especially during night. As we all know that all big time derbies are usually
held during night time, so they prefer to breed the red eye gamefowl than
the dark eyes.
There are also game fowl that has a light yellow eye, according to some
breeder game fowl with light colored eye cannot see very well especially if
there is a light example fluorescent light. During big time derby lights are
always shinning in the cock pit.
My question is what eye color should be choose or should be considered
when choosing a breeding material? I do some research and I found out
that more game fowl breeder prefer to choose the game fowl with a red eye
because a game fowl with a red eye can see very well during day time,
night time and even if there is a light.
How to maintain gamefowl bloodline
Battle cross is only a product of cross breeding the original or pure blood
line. For example a game fowl breeder has a pure Lemon brood cock and a
pure boston roundhead brood hen cross breeding the two will produce a
50% lemon and 50% battle cross. Pure game fowl bloodline need to be
maintain or preserve. Original breeding material should be keep for the
future breeding. This article will short ideas on how you are going to
maintain or preserve a gamefowl bloodline.
The traditional way of maintaining or preserving a gamefowl blood line is
by in-breeding. For example line-breeding. It is where the pullets is breed
back to her father or the stag is breed back to his mother. After having a
pullet from that breeding breed back again to her grand father(the original
brood cock) or the stag is breed back again to is grand mother and so on…
Another is to breed sister and brother. Some gamefowl breeder do this in
order to preserve their original gamefowl blood line. The line breeding is
also a good breeding method to be used in order to maintain a gamefowl
bloodline. IN my case I maintain my gamefowl bloodline by mating half
brother and half siter. In this method I choose my best broodcock then
breed to different hen. For example my broodcock is Lemon I single mate it
with the roundhead hen, then I also single mate my lemon broodcock to my
Dink sweater hen. And finally I choose a stag from lemon x roundhead and
I also choose I pullet from lemon x dink sweater. To maintain my lemon
bloodline I breed the lemon roundhead stag to a lemon x dink sweater
pullets. With that I make a selection to the pullets and stags coming from
the breeding of lemon roundhead and lemon dink sweater and make it as
my new lemon stock.
Season of breeding fighting cocks
In the Philippines the breeding season of fighting cocks start from the
month of October up to February of next year. The reason why October to
February is ideal for breeding because the temperature between these
months is not so hot and there is not much rain in this season. Stag derby
is popular in the Philippines like the bakbakan ang digmaan and when
breeders start breeding in the month of October the breeding that they can
produced will be banded and then later qualified to join in stag
derby. Most of the fighting cocks or gamefowl breeder joins the stag
derby that is why they start their breeding in the month of October and
some of the breeder breed for stag derby purpose. The eggs produced
during breeding season (October to March) have a higher percentage of
hatchability compared to eggs produce in summer season. Another point
why it is ideal to start breeding in the month of October is that during when
rainy season comes (Starting the last week of May to August) the breeding
you produced is already a stag during rainy season and it can resist to
heavy rains. It is not Ideal to breed during rainy season and summer
season because it will cause high mortality rate to your chicks. Breeding
during rainy days will cause to loose in the part of breeder in terms of
money, time and effort. Before you start on breeding you need to select
the best breeding material, you need to do the following, deworm, delouse,
trim and give vitamins like B-Complex and proper feeding by proving your
broodcocks or brood stag and broodhen or brood pullets a better breeder
pellet. Providing a better brood pen with enough space, sunlight and grass
can help to have healthy environment to your birds.
Breeding season for fighting cocks
Gamefowl breeders are now preparing for the breeding season because
from October up to March is an ideal to breed gamefowl or fighting cocks.
The breeding of gamefowl needs more preparation because if a breeder is
not wel-prepared your breeding of fighting cocks or gamefowl will result to
loose of money. The basic things you should consider in the breeding of
gamefowl is that to have a good breeding materials that can produced
better fighting cocks that can compete in small or even bigtime derbies like
the bakbakan, candelaria international derby or world slasher cup.
Having a good material before breeding is very important so that your
breeding will end right because you start it right. Good breeding materials
can produce quality fighting cocks with characteristics of high station, good
looking and excellent fighting style. Aside from having better breeding
materials it is also important to set your goals for example you breed
because you are going to sell your fighting cocks or you are going to join in
a derby. After setting your goals you need to find a handler or care taker
that will take care of your birds. You need also to find a place that is ideal to
breed fighting cocks and construct a breeding pen and other things needed
in the breeding.
Before mating the brood cock and hen make sure they are in good health
and conditions. Meaning you need first to condition your breeding materials
so that they give you a healthy chicks. After you can produced out of your
breeding don’t forget to apply vaccination in your birds. In my case I start
with B1B1 lasota, then bronchitis and fowlfox vaccine.
Giving vaccine to your bird can help to secure the health of your birds and
it can prevent some diseases. A healthy fighting cocks is advantageous to
the sickly one, so always make sure that you give proper feeding, vitamins
and vaccination to your birds. You need also to know about genetics like in-
breeding, line-breeding, and cross-breeding.
The breeding of gamefowl or fighting cocks for me is trial and error
because you need to breed and cross-breed fighting cocks until you can
find the best battle crosses that can give you more wins.
How to maintain game fowl bloodline
As breeder of game fowl it is very important to maintain the bloodline that is
tested and give you a high percentage of winning and championship in
major stag derby like bakbakan and cock derby like world slasher cup.
There are many ways used by game fowl breeders to maintain the
bloodline of fighting cocks. The common is breeding of offspring back to
parents or breeding of a full sister to full brother. For me that technic is
good in preserving or maintaining a game fowl but I have another technic
on how do I maintain a game fowl bloodline.
The method on how to maintain a fighting cock or game fowl bloodline is
very important to a breeder. In my case I use the in-and-in method in
maintaining my game fowl bloodline. In this method I did not mate offspring
back to parents and mating full sister to full brother. What I did to maintain
bloodline is I select my finest brood cock for example I would like to
maintain my Roundhead bloodline, to do that chooses my best two hens for
example a lemon and hatch. I breed these two hens to my roundhead
brood cock and make sure to identify the eggs off two hens for example the
egg of lemon is identified and also the eggs of hatch. When the eggs of a
lemon hen hatches and later grown up I choose the best stag (50%
roundhead and 50% lemon). And I also choose the best pullets produced
by the hatch hen (50% roundhead and 50% hatch). To maintain the
roundhead bloodline I breed the stag composed of 50% roundhead and
50% lemon to a pullet composed of 50% round head and 50% hatch. The
result of that mating is an offspring with a high percentage of a roundhead.
In that way you made to maintain your game fowl bloodline, in the example
is the roundhead. You can apply this method to your own needs and on
your own bloodline that you want to preserve or maintain.
My own method of breeding fighting cocks
The breeding of fighting cocks is very challenging because you need more
time doing trial and error, money and effort. In order to become a fighting
cocks or game fowl breeder it is important that you have a knowledge on
genetics in order for you to produce the best fighting cocks that can
compete in big time derbies like candellaria, world slasher cup, big time
stag derbies like bakbakan and digmaan derby.
Breeding concepts like inbreeding, cross-breeding, line- breeding and
others are also need to be understand by the fighting cocks or game fowl
breeding. The concept of in-breeding is that you are going to breed
brothers and sisters, the purpose of this type of breeding is to preserve the
bloodline. Cross-breeding is the type of breeding were game fowl bloodline
is cross-breed to other bloodline like the cross breeding of lemon to
sweater. This type of breeding is used to produce a battle crosses. Another
type of breeding is the line breeding was offspring is breed back to his
mother or her father. The purpose of this is to retain the good qualities of a
parent.
My own method of breeding in order to produce a breeding material is I
choose a brood cock for example dink fair sweater, then choose two brood
hens example lemon and the other one is roundhead. In order to produce a
brood stag to be use as breeding material I breed my sweater brrod cock to
a lemon brood hen to produce a 50% sweater and 50% lemon offspring
and called it as output A. Then I cross breed my sweater brood cock to my
roundhead brood hen to produce a 50% sweater and 50% roundhead
offspring and called it as output B. Then finally I cross-breed output A to
output B, then the offspring that produced by cross-breeding output A and
output B is the one I use as my breeding material. It is likely the same
characteristics with my original sweater brood cock. Now I can produce
battle crosses out of the output from cross-breeding output A and output B.
Business in breeding fighting cocks
Starting a business is not easy because there are competitors who are
good in making money out of business. I am thinking what kind of business
I should start but I can’t think and find answer to my question. I want to
produce products and later sell it to the market but I can’t think of product to
be produce. One day I come to an idea to invest in gamefowl breeding and
my goal is to produce winning fighting cock. In that sense if I can make the
best fighting cock I can sell it and I can have more money.
As I read and study some of the concepts of breeding, I learn that

gamefowl breeding is not easy because you need money, time and effort in
order to produce a winning line gamefowl or fighting cocks. You need to
buy quality breeding materials like brood cock and brood hens and you
undergo trial and error until you can find the best crosses that can have
higher percentage of winning in the pit.
Knowing that reality in the breeding gamefowl is so difficult in terms of

having more time and money to invest. Aside from that you need to find a
farm to be used in gamefowl breeding. I thing this business is not good for
me to start with. One day I meet one of my friends who breed fighting cocks
I talk to him that I want to breed fighting cocks luckily he gave me some
advice and his dink
fair sweater brood stag to me.
At that time, I have brood stag to be used in breeding; All I need is a brood
hen or pullet so that I can start the breeding. I went to my brother’s home
and he has a Mc Clean hatch hen and he offer it to me I bring home it and
in the following day I set up a breeding pen and prepare my brood stag and
hen for breeding. I delouse, deworm and do some bacteria flushing before
start breeding them.
After several months I produced offspring from the sweater x mc clean

crosses two stags and four hens. I pit the two stags in hack fight and they
win all with a little scratch. I breed back the stags to their mother then I got
¾ mc clean hatch and ¼ dink fair sweater. I breed the four hens back to
their father and I got ¾ dink fair swaeter and ¼ mc clean hatch. Later I
acquire hulsey lemon brood cock and I breed it to my hens and produce a
3-way cross the lemon x sweater x hatch. I tested this battle cross and give
me more winning.
I sell my stags at PHP 3000 and my cocks at PHP 5000, the business in
breeding of fighting cocks need more time to produce winning battle stag or
cock, but if you find the winning crosses you can have money out of it. You
can sell it online or in local buyer at your place. Gamefowl or fighting cocks
breeding is now one of the business that is growing.
Experiment in lemon as foundation bloodline
The breeding of fighting cocks or gamefowl in order to produce the most
winning bloodline is very difficult. Today cock derby and stag derby like hari
ng rueda, araw ng Davao, world slasher cup bakbakan, digmaan and other
derby are very competitive. Lemon gamefowl are old line and still a winning
bloodline of today. As a gamefowl breeder I have experiment with the
lemon gamefowl and I found out the the crosses coming from lemon are
better and give me a battle cock who are vertical flyer, side stepper, brainy,
and has good cutting ability.
Original lemon gamefowl are low to medium in station, although their shank
are short but their drum stick are long and that is one thing I like them
because the lemon can cut very well. There are many gamefowl or fighting
cocks breeder who use lemon as their foundation bloodline. They cross-
breed lemon with other bloodline in order to produce a winning line battle
cross.
As I experiment with the lemon gamefowl I found out the the power of
lemon is if you know how to cross-breed them. Some of the successful
crosses of lemon gamefowl or bloodline that are tested and up to now are
still winning are the lemon roundhead, lemon sweater, lemon grey, and
lemon hatch.
I also found out in my experiment of lemon gamefowl that the station of

lemon that is low to medium is not a dis-advantage because the fighting
cocks throw their punches like in hugging motion and being low to medium
in station they can cut very will and produced a deep wound and their
punches almost hit in the opponent. Lemons are like snipper they can kill
their opponent easily in just one shoot.
I found out that some of the well-known gamefowl breeder champion are
using lemon as their foundation bloodline in order to produce a better and
winning line battle cross. One of the breeder quoted this “ you are not a
breeder if you do not have lemon in your game farm”.
Most winning bloodline
In cock fighting winning in the pit is very important because it involves
money. Producing a winning line in the breeding of fighting cocks is very
difficult in the sense that you need to undergo several experiment, trial and
error and you are going to spend more money and time. In order for you to
save time and money for the quest of producing a winning bloodline you
need to find out what blood line are most winning. If you find answer for
your quest on what particular fighting cocks bloodline is winning you can
acquire it to some known fighting cocks’ breeder who breed that wining
blood line buy it to them and you can start your own breeding.
The most winning blood lines are the kelso, roundheads, lemon, and
hatches family of game fowl. Kelso game fowl are very good to be use as
your foundation blood line; you can cross-breed kelso to any bloodline for
example to hatches. The well-known breeder of kelso in the Philippines as I
know are Biboy Enriquez of Firebird Gamefarm and Raffy Yulo of Rapapap
game farm. Rounheads are also use by many game fowl breeders to
produce the most winning line. As far as I know Lance de La Torre the
“Master Breeder” is one among those who breed the Roundeads in his
Redfoot gamefarm. Roundheads are very good to cross-breed with the
lemons. Lemon is the foundation bloodline use by most Bacolod gamefowl
breeder in Negross. Some of the breeders of lemon as far as I know are
Eddie Boy Ledesma of Fire and Ice gamefarm, Joe Laureño of JVL & Sons
Gamefarm, Mayor Juancho Aguirre of JGA Gamefarm and others. Lemon
are good to be cross-breed with grey, hatches, kelso, roundhead, and
sweatrer. The most winning line who record in some prestigious fighting
cock derby like world slasher cup are the lemon crosses.
In order for you to produce the most winning bloodline you need to have a
winning material like brood cock and brood hens. And it is important that
you understand genetics and basic breeding concepts like in-breeding, line-
breeding, and cross-breeding.
Factors on how to be a champion breeder
The derby that I am referring in this article is about the factors to be
considered in order to become a champion gamefowl breeder in cock or
stag derbies like world slasher cup, candellaria derby, bakbakan, digmaan
and other derbies. There are lots of cock fighting enthusiast that ask on
how to become a champion in cockfighting derby. To become a champion
is not an easy task because cock fighting today is very competitive.
In order to become a champion game fowl breeder you need to consider

several factors like blood line. In the breeding of gamefowl the choice of
good bloodline to be used in your breeding is very important. A superior
gamefowl blood line has a great factor that can contribute to you to become
a champion gamefowl breeder. After you can find a superior game fowl
bloodline you need to condition your broodcock and broodhen, a healthy
breeding material will produce healthy offspring that will lead in your
success and become a champion gamefowl breeder. After your broodcock
and broodhen produced their offspring you need to take good care of their
offspring, give them proper nutrition and proper vaccination to insure they
will grow healthier. When they already growing up and become a stag
continue to give them proper nutrition, vitamins and provide them training.
You can construct a scratch box, flying pen, and running pen that you can
use in training of your fighting cocks.
If you decide to join in derby you need to prepare them by giving a pre-
condition program. After pre-conditioning, you can prepare them to start the
conditioning using a 21-days conditioning method or whatever method that
you want. If you do not know how to condition your fighting cock, you can
find a handler that will be in charge for the conditioning of your fighting
cocks. In derby or cockfighting the tying of gaff or “tari” is very important.
You need to find someone you can trust to tie the “tari” in your fighting
cock.
Lemon foundation bloodline
The lemon bloodline is still winning as of today and when cross breed to
other bloodline like roundhead can compete against modern game fowl like
the sweater. Manny game fowl breeder especially Bacolod breeder are still
using the Hulsey lemon as their foundation bloodline. Some of the Negros
breeder like Lance de la Torre, Mayor Juancho Aguirre, Eddie Boy
Ledesma, Joe Laureño, Choy Ampil and others are among popular
breeders who have Hulsey Lemon in their gamefarm.
Lemon bloodline is also one of the best game fowl for me because of their
gameness and fighting style such as brainy, smart, accurate cutting ability,
vertical flyers , excellent timing and I like lemon because instead of ducking
they side step. Lemon are my foundation bloodline, I cross breed it with
dink sweater. Lemon are low to medium in station but when cross breed to
dink sweater who are high station will improve their station and produced a
better battle cross with a fighting style and gameness of lemon and better
fighting style in the air.
Some lemon crosses that produce successful battle cocks are lemon cross
to hatch-claret, lemon - blue face hatch, lemon-cecil greys, lemon-dan
grays, lemon-boston roundheads and lemon sweater. Some of the game
fowl breeders who became champion in the international derby who have
drops of lemon bloodline in their game fowl use in derby are sir Paeng
Araneta, sir Lance de la Torre, sir Bob Cuenca, sir Peping Ricafort and sir
Tony Trebol.
In my own opinion, lemon bloodline is the past and the future foundation
bloodline. You can cross breed lemon game fowl to any bloodline and it
can produce a winning battle cross. Although lemon is not beautiful in
appearance but I believed that cockfighting is not a beauty contest, what is
important is, it give you more win in the pit.
Kelso foundation for gamefowl breeding
The breeding of gamefowl is not an easy job. In order to become a fighting
cock or gamefowl breeder you should know about the concept of breeding
and genetics. A gamefowl or fighting cock breeder should be
knowledgeable about in-breeding, cross-breeding, line breeding, and other
types of breeding. To become a successful gamefowl or fighting cock
breeder it is important to have knowledge about the different bloodline like
the kelso, hatch, grey, clarets, roundheads, butcher, white hackle, and
other foundation bloodline.
There are gamefowl or fighting cocks breeder who use kelso as their
foundation bloodline because kelso is versatile and can be cross-breed
with the different gamefowl bloodline that can produce better battle cocks.
They prefer kelso to be their foundation bloodline because kelsos have
been known to be really smart fighters on top of power, speed and multiple
shuffle or evasion tactics. Kelso are best to cross-breed with sweater,
brownred, hatch, and roundhead. Aside of using kelso as the foundation
bloodline, some gamefowl breeder also use the grey, hatch, lemon,
roundhead and clarets as their foundation bloodline.
Today kelso gamefowl are still winning in some major derby competition.
Some are pure and some are cross-breed with other bloodline. Personally I
like kelso because of their smartness and fighting style who can make side-
steps and wave, and they are both good in air and ground assaults. I like
kelso as the foundation bloodline in breeding of fighting cocks because
kelso is best to be cross-breed with any bloodline that can produce a very
competitive battle cock or stag that can be use in some derby.
Prevention of gamefowl diseases
As gamefowl or fighting cocks breeder the prevention of diseases is very
important because gamefowl are prone to diseases and when it hits on
your birds it can cause too much money loss to a breeder. How to prevent
gamefowl diseases? And what vaccination is going to apply in order to
prevent gamefowl diseases?
Some of the of the gamefowl or fighting cocks diseases and vaccination are
gumboro disease which is a contagious viral infection of a young chickens.
For gumboro disease some gamefowl breeder use the hipragumboro
GM97 vaccine. This kind of vaccine for gumboro deisease is a live strong
but safe vaccine which can be given even in the presence of high level of
maternal antibodies . The administration can be through eye drop, mouth
drop, nose drop, drinking water or spray.
Another type of gamefowl disease which is common is coryza which

characterized by an acute respiratory disease which is fast spreading. The
symptoms of coryza is birds have swollen facial tissues. One of the
vaccines that can be used in coryza is the Coripravac AH which provides
protection against A, B, and C serotypes of infectious coryza.
New Castle Disease or NCD is very dangerous gamefowl disease because

there is no treatment for this only prevention through vaccination. NCD is a
gamefowl disease caused by a virus. The symptoms of NCD includes
respiratory disease and gut lesions leading to poor growth, nervous signs
that include paralysis and twisting of the head and sudden death. Some of
the vaccines that can be used against new castle disease are 1. Hipraviar-
clon which is live cloned NCD vaccine used for priming and booster
vaccination. 2. Hipraviar-B1 which is a live NCD B1B1 strain vaccine used
for priming vaccination. 3. Hipraviar-S which contain live NCD La Sota
strain vaccine used for booster vaccinitions.
Lemon gamefowl cross breed
Last week my friend gave me a lemon pullet which came from his winning
line lemon gamefowl he told me that I am going to cross breed it to my
hulsey grey. The father of this lemon pullet is a five times winner and now a
five year old cock. Lemon gamefowl are medium stationed known for its
smart fighting style, an offbeat sense of timing that catches its opponent
with powerful single stroke killing hits. It is a vertical flyer, is known to
sidestep and counterattack.
Lemon is also one of my favorite gamefowl bloodline because as I

observed lemon gamefowl will fight up to their last breath. They will never
give up to their opponent cock, they will continue to fight even they are
heavily wounded.
Some say it lacks gameness but crosses with Albanies, Kelsos and
Sweaters gamefowl will produce a better battle cock. In my case I would
like to cross breed lemon gamefowl to my duke Hulsey grey, because the
best lemon gamefowl are also come from the legendary gamefowl breeder
Duke Hulsey. The hulsey grey and hulsey lemon are the winning line of
some gamefowl breeders from Bacolod City, Negross Occidental. As far as
I know, one game fowl breeder in Negros sir Eddie Boy Ledesma of Fire
and Ice is one of the breeders of hulsey lemon and hulsey grey.
The lemon game fowl are old line but still winning line as of today. Some
said that one dis advantage of lemon gamefowl is they are medium
stationed but I believed that in cock fighting it is not on whether high or
medium stationed, it is on the bloodline that are winning line and lemon
game fowl is one of the winning bloodline as of today that can compete to
modern gamefowl.
Sid taylor black sweater cross breeding
It is true that the life of a game fowl breeder is full of challenges. There are
many challenges that you can encounter when you are a game fowl
breeder in order to have the best fighting cock crosses. This breeding
season I will try to cross breed the Sid Taylor black to a sweater game fowl.
I like to cross breed sweater to Sid Taylor black because of the fighting
style of black that is known for their speed and cutting ability. The green
and white legged blacks fight as multiple hitting flyers or shuffler, while the
black legged ones are known as stylish cutters that can hit anywhere with
offbeat timing . Sid Taylor black also fight as vertical cutting flyers, flying
straight up rather than at an angle.
The sweater game fowl have excellent gameness and power that their
relentless attacks simply overwhelm their opponent. They used to lack
endurance, but infusions into their bloodline like cross breeding it to Sid
Taylor black made them the most feared opponents they are today. In the
air they are a match with almost any air fighter but on the ground, they
literally trample their opponents to submission. They have very long
feathers, especially at the tail. They are red breasted and are yellow
legged.
Since sweater are used to lack of endurance, it is good to cross breed it

with Sid Taylor black game fowl to produce an all-around battle stag or
cock. I noticed that today there lots of game fowl breeder who breeds black
like the famous Mel Sim black. In some major derbies today, the black
game fowl are very popular and they have good winning percentage in the
pit.
Native chicken supplier

I am a small breeder who breeds native chicken and I am a supplier of
native chicken in some of the market in Bacolod City Negros Occidental.
There is no problem when it comes to marketing of native chicken. Chicken
aging four to six months old have high demand and command a good price.
Each head may cost P160 for live and P180 for dressed. Middlemen,
market vendors, neighbors , and walk-in individuals are the common
buyers of native chicken.
Raising of native chicken is a small business that can be manage even if

you have a full-time job. You do not need to personally take care of them
every day. You can find some body who will watch over them and feed
them everyday and just visit them every week. In raising native chicken,
you need to start with choosing the type of breed you want, for example
(darag native chicken, and jolo), and then a place where you are going to
breed them, a capital to buy some materials for the chicken house, fence,
feeding materials and water container. In my case I breed darag native
chicken, asil or jolo, and kabir chicken. I cross-breed them in order to
produce a high quality native chicken.
Today the demands of native chicken is good, there are restaurants, resto
bars, and other hotels who are looking for the supplier of native
chicken because they need it in one of their menus. Some of the popular
menu for native chicken are native chicken lechon, native chicken
barbecue or inasal, chicken tinola, and native chicken binacol.

Pure Asil
Asil chicken for sale in Bacolod City Negross Occidental, Philippines. The
Asil or aseel chicken is originated in India and they breed for cockfighting
and some for ornamental, they are called sometimes in other places of the
Philippines as Jolo. The Asil chicken is considered as the strongest game
bird in the world. They are always Pea comb, they can adopt in all types of
climates, and their egg productivity is low. The asil has variety of color that
is usually black breasted, spangled, white, red and wheaten. Asil or aseel
chicken are very muscular, their feathers are hard, short and the feathers
also split at the breastbone. The asil or aseel chicken laid eggs seasonal
and not frequent, that is the reason why they are somewhat rare.
I breed asil or aseel chicken because they have high resistance in
diseases; they are good source of meat and eggs.
Asil or aseel are also breed for cock fighting purposes, they are good in
terms of endurance, they can fight up to 1 and ½ hours, they have strong
bones, and muscles.
I started to breed asil or aseel with two hens and one roaster, the hens are
big and tall, and their color are black, one hen is yellow legged and the
other hen is a green legged. The roaster that I have is red in color with
some white spots in the breast, tall and big in size, the color of the legs is
yellow. If you breed asil for cock fighting, one characteristic that you need
to find is that you are going to make sure that they have a long neck so that
they can easily turn left and right when they are in the actual battle.
Asil Kabir Cross breeding
Every year more than 50 billion chickens are reared as a source of food, for
both their eggs and meat. There are varieties of chicken breeds found
around the world but for me, I preferred to breed Asil (or Aseel) in our
native language Jolo and Kabir chicken. My reason for breeding them is
that Asil and kabir chicken are more resistant in stress, heat, and other
diseases and their meat has a good delicious taste. They have good body
formation and they grow faster compared to other breeds of chicken. The
Asil Kabir cross breeding is common in the Philippines because aside from
selling their meet, you can also sell their eggs. Their meet has a delicious
taste like our native chicken because they grow naturally in a the range,
they are free to access the natural resources around, fresh grasses, water,
and fresh air. Breeding Asil and Kabir chicken is profitable because
selling their meat and eggs is a good business. For example you start to
breed them in the month of August after 4 months (that is December) let
say your target production is 300 heads, and then by selling it means 300
heads at 150, then you have a gross income of 45,000. After disposing
your first batch of chicken you can then start to breed again and after 4
months you will have another batch of chicken to sell. It is up to you if you
are going to increase your production or not. Start your business now by
breeding Asil and Kabir chicken and sell their meat and eggs. Poultry is a
good business and it is simple and easy to manage.
Free range kabir chicken
One of the potential businesses that you can invest in Bacolod City
Negross Occidental Philippines is to raise a free range kabir chicken. In this
kind of business you can earn extra money while at home buy selling their
meat and eggs. Manny people love to eat free range chicken and fresh
table eggs because of its good taste. The reasons why free range chicken
tastes so good because they are raised outside on pasture, they have
constant access to a natural diet with fresh air and sunshine. You can
start in this kind of business by having 100 kabir chicks; you can buy them
at 50 pesos per head. You need to construct a chicken house for your
chicks that is elevated from the ground. The chicken house is equipped
with a heater (bulb), feeder, and waterer. The chicks will stay their for 3 to 4
weeks. After 4 weeks you need to transfer your kabir chicken to an open
range so that they can access fresh air, grass, sunlight, and other minerals
found outside. Make sure that you need also to provide a chicken house
while they are in the open range. You should have a waterer and feeders
that is set up inside the chicken house so that they can eat their feeds and
drink water if they need it. Outdoor access is important to allow the
chicken to express natural behaviors such as foraging and dust bathing. It
allows extensive production in which the chickens have access to open
space, sunlight, and fresh air, this will help them to reduces stress. You
can breed them during breeding season to produce kabir chicks, and
during times that is not breeding season you can collect their eggs and sell
it. The breeding season in the Philippines start from September to January.
Kabir meat and eggs
Kabir chicken is one of the good sources of meat and fresh table eggs. It is
a breed of chicken from Middle East, and kabir chicken is considered as
the most in demand for backyard and small enterprise flocks, that is why I
breed them. As of March 12, 2013 I have 100 heads of kabir chicken that
is now producing eggs. I continue to breed them for meat and eggs. I sold
their meat for 150 pesos per kilo and their eggs are sold for 5 pesos each. I
am planning to increase my production this year so that I can cater the
demands for kabir chicken meat and eggs. I choose to breed kabir
chicken because they grow rapidly, they have good body conformation and
efficient feed conversion because they can survive by themselves. Kabir
chicken is also resistant to disease and heat stress. Kabir chicken has a
“native” taste and texture. When you are going to cross breed them with
native chicken and Jolo or asil chickens, the Kabir qualities are retained in
the new breed. The feeding cost is low since kabir chicken can also survive
by themselves. Aside from that kabir chicken can be raised in the same
manner as “native chickens” and their egg are low in cholesterol. Kabir
chicken is very popular today because aside from the reasons that they are
good source of meat and fresh eggs, you can also earn money by
becoming a producer and supplier of their eggs and meat. You need a
small backyard and a small capital to invest in this kind of business and it is
easy to manage.

Chicken Avian Malaria Treatment
Some notes for the treatment of avian malaria. Give 0.2cc
sulfaquinoxiline for cocks for the first dose. Then 0.2cc on water the
following dose for another two days. Control if mosquitoes within the
premises and houses with effective insecticides, include spraying the
breeding places of mosquitoes. Proper drainage of stagnant water. Anti
malarial drops like plasmochin, quinine hydrochloride and pyrimethamine
combinations were found effective. Confer with the veterinarians.
Prevention is still better than cure. I don't think Avian malaria sufferers or
survivors should be kept. To prevent Avian Malaria, use a good TMPS
medication once a month for 3-5 days straight. And rid your yard of any
stagnant water which is the breeding ground of mosquitoes that spread
Avian Malaria.
Transmission: Bites of mosquitoes, mechanically by blood transfer as in
mass vaccination, caponization and injection. Some signs of avian malaria
are severe anemia (paleness) extreme leg weakness, emancipation and
nervous signs like twisting of the head. The shanks and the toes are dry
and birds have ruffled feathers Greenish-yellow or greenish white diarrhea.
A bird that has symptoms from Plasmodium spp infection generally has
many parasites multiplying in the circulating blood within a week of the
mosquito’s bite. Birds suffer loss of appetite, fever, weakness, depression,
and shortness of breath. Blood circulation to organs may be impaired, and
the liver and spleen may be enlarged, with anemia due to destruction of red
blood cells. In heavy infections death is common.
To prevent avain malaria, every 1st week of the month give PYRISTAT for
2 straight days. On the 3rd week, TRISULAK powder. Follow the
instructions for the dosage and administration of the mention medicine. The
instruction is found at the back of the product package.
Treatment for coryza or pisik
Treatment of coryza for chicks,you need to mix two teaspoon of trisullak
powder and one tablespoon of laktamino XE in two gallon of water for five
to seven days. For stags and fighting cocks, treatment for coryza is to
give one trisullak tablet everyday to the infected chicken for five days and
inject 0.5 cc of trisullak injectable three to five days and also give three
drops of laktamino XE (oral) for five days.
Infectious coryza is a specific respiratory disease in chickens that occurs
most often in semi-mature or adult birds. The most characteristic symptoms
of infectious coryza include edematous swelling of the face around the
eyes and wattles, nasal discharge and swollen sinuses. Watery discharge
from the eyes frequently results in the lids adhering together. Vision may be
affected because of the swelling. The disease results in a decrease in feed
and water consumption and an increase in the number of cull birds.
Prevention is the only sound approach in controlling infectious coryza. It
usually can be prevented by management programs that eliminate contact
between susceptible and infected birds. It requires only separating affected
or carrier birds from the susceptible population. In order to prevent the
infection, introduce started or adult birds only from sources known to be
free of the infection. If infection occurs, complete depopulation followed by
thorough cleaning/disinfecting is the only means for eliminating the
disease.
From days old up to fight day, there is a big possibility that fighting cocks
can experience several infections. To increase the production of chicks and
healthy broodstags it is important to have proper care and medication to
your chicken to avoid diseases. Chicken especially fighting cocks are prone
to diseases because they are in the open range and because of that they
are easily infected with viruses, bacteria, and fungi usually when there is a
rapid climate change. Always remember that, healthy chicks up to the fight
day, has a greater percentage of winning over the sickly one.
Treatment for halak
Below are some notes for treatment of halak or tips on how to treat this
kind of chicken disease. Halak is a complex respiratory disease (CRD)
whose root cause is an infection by Mycoplasma Gallisepticum (MG). The
MG infection is almost always accompanied with another infection whether,
bacterial or viral.
The signs and symptoms are varied, depending on how severe the
infection is. Some of the symptoms are, bubbles in the eyes which can be
followed by nasal discharge. Chicken, when worked, will be short winded,
have very little energy and will become blue headed if the disease is
severe. In severe infections the chicken will have a fever and will develop
diarrhea or the greens and will lose weight.
MG is spread by many means. It is passed thru the egg from one
generation to the next. The disease can be carried thru the air for short
distances, be carried by wild birds and animals, be transmitted by direct
contact or by sharing feed and water cups, and very importantly, by
yourself on hands, clothing, or shoes.
Tylan is the drug of choice and will control the disease very well. Tylan can
be given by injection or thru the drinking water. LS-50, Spectam, Gallimycin
and Tetracycline are also effective.
Other way of treatment for halak is with the use of the following medicine:
Ambroxitil - is the powder version of amtyl 500 and it is use for the
treatment of chicks. Doxylak – Give 1 tablet doxylak 100mg daily for 5
days. Terramycin LA injectible 0.5 to be injected in breast muscle, one shot
last for 5 days. Amtyl 500mg 1 tablet daily for 5 days is also effective.

the native chicken tinola. The usual comment of some people with regards
to these menu is that “Native chicken tinola is delicious than broiler chicken
tinola”.
Chicken Feeds for fighting cocks
In breeding chickens, whether it is fighting cocks, layers, or broilers it is
important to understand what type of feeds you are going to put in
their feeders. For fighting cocks that are days old to one month, I feed
them chick booster mash. When they are one month old up to five months,
I feed them crumble booster mash. At the age of five months and up, I feed
my fighting cocks with pre-conditioning feeds like Enertone. Different feed
is given to them during conditioning and pointing stage. Usually I used 50%
Thunderbird Platinum pellets and 50% Sagupaan concentrate. During
pointing, that is 3-days before the fight, I feed them ¾ crack corn and ¼
Thunderbird Platinum Pellets.
The feeds that I used to my layers chicken when they are less than one
month old, I feed them chick booster mash, I changed their feeds to
crumble booster mash when they are already more than one month up to
four months old. Their feeds are changed again to laying mash when they
are five months older and up.
For my broiler chicken, I feed chick booster mash from days old up to one
month old, and crumble booster up to the day that they are going to be
disposed, usually when they are 45 days old.
Oriental chickens like, Asil or Jolo, native chickens are feed in different
approach. Ordinary chick booster mash are given to days old chicken, after
two weeks, I changed their feeds to ½ refined crack corn and ½ ordinary
crumble booster feeds. When they reach one month old, I feed them ¾
crack corn and ¼ pigeon pellets.
Coryza treatment - medication
I am a small breeder who breeds chicken (fighting cocks, kabir, orientals).
The usual disease of chicken that I have encounter in my poultry is the
infectious coryza and I don’t know the treatment for this kind of disease.
The symptoms of this disease are the following, nasal discharge, sneezing,
and swelling of the face under the eyes. I do some inquiries to my friends
who also breed chickens. I asked them on how to treat this coryza disease.
One of my friends tells that I am going to use TRISULAK in order to treat
coryza. Immediately, I go to the feeds supply and ask for TRISULAK and
inquire about the dosage for this kind of medicine. The sales personnel of
the feed supply tells me that I am going to give one TRISULAK capsule
every day to infected chicken for three to five days. I follow the advice of
the sales personnel, on the first, I observed that there is an improvement
with regards to the health of my chicken who suffer from coryza, same
thing happened on the second day, and on the third day, the sickly chicken
is already treated.
Aside from giving TRISULAK during the period that the chicken suffered
from coryza disease, I also inject the sickly chicken with complexor b-
complex with iron vitamins, I give them 0.3ml. Electrolytes like aquadox are
also given through their drinking water. It is also important to keep your
sickly chicken in the cage so that they can hide if there is a rain or to much
sunlight.
Raising Kabir Chicken
Aside for raising kabir chicken for meet, you can also raise them for eggs.
In my own personal experiences, I raise kabir chicken for eggs and sell it. I
have 120 kabir chicken and they lay an average of 100 eggs per day. In
one week, I have 700 eggs to sell. While I am enjoying raising them, what
is good is, I have income coming from their eggs. I am planning to have
additional kabir chichen from 120; I want it to become 200.
In raising kabir chicken, you need to give them proper nutrition and care. In
my case I give them vitamins since they are one day old up to the present. I
give them vitamin B-complex and electrolytes. Regular vaccination is also
important. You need also to clean their waterer and feeders regularly.
A healthy chicken can produce healthy eggs, so make sure that you give
proper care, nutrition, and vitamins to your chicken. Your time is also
important, in raising chicken, feeding them is not enough, and you need to
observe them in order to determine the healthy and sickly chicken. I you
identify a sickly chicken, separate them immediately to the group and give
proper medication.
Enough space is also important, In my case I have ½ hectare space with
fench for my 200 kabir chicken. Open space is important so that there is a
fresh air for chicken. You need also to consider the shade so that they can
hide if there is rain or there is too much sunlight.
Guidelines -Tips in Raising Chicken
Hopeful chicken producers can feather their nest egg and have the
enjoyment of raising their own chicken by following some common sense
guidelines. Do you want to raise chicken for egg production or meat?
Chickens for laying eggs are layers, and those that produce meat are
broilers. Successful poultry producers take care of many details to ensure
that their chickens are comfortable. Starting with healthy hatchlings and
maintaining their health is extremely important. Hatchlings should be
obtained from a reputable hatchery with a history of producing healthy
chicken. Identifying the difference between a healthy chicken and
unhealthy chicken is important. A healthy chicken will be alert, bright eyed,
and full breasted, and it will have erect posture, clean feathers, a bright and
full comb and wattles, and clean nostrils. A healthy chicken will drink plenty
of water and eat with frequent eagerness. The stool is grayish in color with
a white cap. An unhealthy chicken will have a decreased appetite and
will not drink as much. It will also appear listless, depress, shrunken, and
dull eyed. The stool may be very dry and hard or just the opposite, very
watery and loose. If a chicken appears to be sick, separate the sick chicken
from other. After getting advice from a veterinarian or other professional,
follow that advice very carefully. Most heath problems can be avoided or
kept to a minimum by following these five simple steps: 1. Buy only
healthy birds from healthy flocks 2. Keep vaccination up to date 3.
Clean coops at least once a week 4. Clean feeders and waterers at least
once a week; twice a week is much better 5. Immediately remove or
replace wet beddings
Layer hens - chicken for eggs
Raising hens for eggs is a good source of income. In my case I have 50
Kabir hens that lay eggs. My 50 kabir hens lays an average of 300 eggs
per week. If I have an average of 300 eggs per week and sold it at 5 pesos
then, I have 1500 pesos gross income per week. Aside from kabir chickens
I have also oriental chickens like asil or aseel that also lays egg, and like
kabir chickens their eggs is also a good source of income for me. I also
breed fighting cocks, most of the bloodline that I breed are Butcher, Dom,
Hatch, and Grey. If you have a bit of space on a small farm, you can
raise laying hens for farm-fresh eggs of your own. While the chickens do
take a bit of work, you can count on having eggs so fresh that no
supermarket can even come close. Some tips on how to raise chicken for
eggs. Instructions 1. Decide what breed of chicken you want for your
flock. White leghorns are popular laying chickens, but there are many other
varieties to choose as well. 2. Plan a budget for your egg operation.
Feed, water, heating bills and the cost of building space are just a few of
the items to consider. This isn't such a big issue if you are just going to
raise the laying hens for your own egg consumption. 3. Build a chicken
coop or adapt an existing building. You need at least 3 square feet per
layer. Provide at least one nesting box for every four chickens. Your laying
hens also appreciate a place to roost. 4. Bring the chickens into their
coop. Regardless of whether you bring in chicks or pullets, don't expect
eggs the very first day. 5. Feed the chickens commercially-prepared
chicken feed. Also, supply them with fresh water. Chickens also need grit to
help them digest their food. Keep the coop clean at all times. 6. Watch
the hens as they begin to lay eggs. Chickens lay eggs in a series, usually
at least one egg every two days. If you don't find and retrieve their eggs
from the nest, the chicken sets on the eggs to hatch them. Since you are
raising these chickens for their eggs, you don't want them to set. 7. Keep
track of the chickens that are not laying eggs. Feed is expensive. If the hen
isn't doing her job, she might as well be your Sunday dinner.
