The most famous breed of fighting chicken

The fights of roosters are already passing away into history, but even today there are lovers of these entertaining and brutal battles between birds. Many do not even think that in the world there are a large number of breeds of fighting chicken chickens, breeding of which is a rather profitable elite business.

After all, to have a home of this purebred purebred fighter - it is still a pleasure and honor. As in this sport, among the many representatives of this type of curia, you can find individuals of different "weight categories": from dwarf, weighing only 0.5 kg, to 7 kg giants. If you are interested in fighting chickens, we will be happy to introduce you to the brightest breeds.

Fight chickens and their representatives: the most worthy, hardy and glorified

Common signs of chickens, which are referred to as fighting, are very strong and muscular breasts, very long legs and neck, which also have good muscles, a massive, strong head and a powerful beak. Also, aggressive for such birds is very important. Although this is a big problem for the content, it is a gold mine for their true purpose. It is important to note that all the representatives of the fighting hens are characterized by very weak plumage.

As a result, they very poorly tolerate cold, which requires the construction of special insulated poultry houses for their maintenance. Regarding the feed, the main thing is that it contains a lot of proteins of plant and animal origin, which will ensure these birds full growth and development.

Fighting roosters breed Azil: what is different and what is famous for?

This is one of the oldest breeds, which today is considered a true sport. Previously, this name Indians called all fighting chickens, so Some of the breed characteristics of Azila are considered to be reference:

• the body is characterized by the shape of an egg, while it is very short, wide and flat;
• straight, medium neck with very short feathers, which do not even cover the shoulders, with a very small head;
• the shoulders are very strong, because their skeleton is characterized by the so-called “bulged shoulder blade”;
• wings are raised rather high, have relatively small size, fit snugly to the body;
• The shape of the tail, characteristic of the roosters of the Azil breed, is called folded: it is rather strong at the base, slightly lowered, has very weak plumage;
• the crest is practically undeveloped, has a pea shape, earrings from representatives of the breed do not;
• the beak, as the main weapon of the battle, is large in size; in young roosters, yellow or orange-yellow, becomes white or nacreous with age;
• thighs and legs very widely spaced, very muscular, practically without plumage, very stable due to sharp spurs.

All the most important aspects of the productivity of fighting chicken Azil

As a meaty breed, the Azili are of no value at all.Although their meat is rather tasty due to its good muscularity, they get very little from one carcass.

Feathers and down they have as little as other representatives of fighting breeds. The only valuable quality is chicken laying. However, this process takes a lot of energy from them. Therefore, only when they are kept in warm rooms with good ventilation, lighting, and the provision of good protein feed, the intensity of laying eggs begins to increase.

In a year, one hen is able to bring from 50 to 60 eggs, which of course has not so much economic recovery. At the same time, they are considered excellent hens. The weight of their eggs, which are suitable for incubation, is 40 grams. The shell of the eggs of the fighting chickens Azila is most often found cream or brown. Eggs are also suitable for incubation incubation.

Chickens and roosters of this breed have practically no distinctive external signs of body build, with the exception of the sexual characteristics and color features of the plumage. The difference can be determined only by the size and weight of individuals:

• roosters weigh from 2 to 2.5 kilograms;
• the weight of hens is 1.5-2 kilograms.

Despite the pronounced fighting character, Azili are very trusting towards their masters. At the exhibitions, they even take pleasure in demonstrating their aggressiveness. Their main advantage is the opportunity to participate in cockfights, for which they have been successfully cultivated and trained for several centuries.

However, the breed has one major drawback - when it is crossed with representatives of other breeds, all the most valuable qualities are completely lost.

Meet the roosters of the Old English fight breed

This breed is also known to the world for many centuries, but since the end of the nineteenth century it has been more actively bred for exhibitions than for participation in cockfighting. And there are special reasons for this, associated with a beautiful appearance and pronounced fighting inclinations of these roosters:

• the body of these birds is distinguished by an average length, but with strong muscles, a wide and sufficiently dense chest, to the tail it becomes, as it were, already located horizontally, rather than hollow, as in the Azil breed;
• the neck is strong and long, with rather intense plumage;
• wings quite wide and large in size, intensively covered with hard and slightly truncated feathers with a strong core;
• as well as wings, the tail is large, raised and slightly splayed to the top, broad-flewed feathers give the bird hostility and emphasize the fighting spirit;
• the head is small, wedge-shaped and short, sometimes with a small tuft and a small comb;
• the beak is strong, curved at the bottom, in healthy individuals the upper part fits snugly to the bottom;
• the ankles and legs are small, not widely set, make the birds very fast and mobile thanks to well-developed joints.

Chickens of the Old English fight breed are good layers and hens.On average, a year they can carry about 50 eggs, whose weight can vary from 30 to 50 grams. Eggs are very well fertilized and are suitable for incubation, but with both natural and artificial incubation, only eggs weighing 50 grams give the result. Shades of eggshell can vary from white to yellow.

Characteristics of the weight category of Old English fight curia

• Roosters usually have larger sizes and, with good feed, they easily reach 3 kilograms of weight;
• hens are lighter and less productive in the meat direction, since their weight ranges from 1.75 to 2.5 kilograms.

This breed is very easy to maintain, since it is completely undemanding on feed. The only caveat is the need for walking on green fodder, thanks to which the growth and formation of muscles and feathers are improved. A significant disadvantage of the Old English fighting breeds is that they are quite difficult to find in our territory.

Another drawback: for fighting, these birds become suitable only at the age of 1-1.5 years, although in the future many more years can perfectly show themselves in the ring.

Vietnamese fighting roosters are the most terrifying of their kind

The most important external feature of these roosters and chickens are the paws, which seem overgrown with some kind of painful growths. However, this is not a disease. On such feet, roosters move very well and remain stable. It is worth noting that in a fairly small population of this breed there is no generally accepted standard and many representatives are quite different from each other.

Only chunky, dense body and unusually coarse paws remain common to all. Also, all of them are characterized by a small, dense, red comb. They look very formidable, the beak is small, slightly twisted to the bottom.

Is the performance of Vietnamese fighting chicken high?

Since the breed does not have clear criteria, it is impossible to clearly define what kind of performance they have. But in general, should be drawn to the following indicators:

due to the large size of the poultry, meat productivity is quite high; in Vietnam, the famous paws of these chickens are also consumed, but only taken from young individuals;

their plumage is rather abundant, although there is not much fluff;

starting from 9 months, chickens begin to nest relatively intensively; for a year, egg production reaches a rate of 60 eggs with a cream-colored shell.

Externally, due to the abundant plumage and large paws, these chickens seem to be very large and therefore inspire even more fear. But in fact, the weight of their bodies is not so much: the hens on average weigh from 2.5 to 3, and the roosters from 3 to 4 kilograms. However, many argue that such figures are far from the most record-breaking, since among the many subspecies of the Vietnamese fighting men there are also such individuals that weigh 7 kilograms.

The most important of these breeds are for collectors of fighting chickens, because due to the small number, they are considered to be a real exclusive and cost just big money. But in such a low prevalence lies the lack of Vietnamese warriors: they are very difficult to reach and grow in our conditions, since the chicks hatch only at very high humidity and are very susceptible to viruses that are not used to them.

Fight breed of chamois Shamo: what you need to know about its representatives?

These birds are of Japanese origin and in our country they appeared only towards the end of the last century. Inside this breed as many as three types or types are distinguished:

Large, weighing a rooster from 4 to 5 kilograms, hens - about 3. The average egg weight is 60 grams, brown in shell color.

Average, roosters weigh from 3 to 4 kilograms, chicken in the region of 2.5. They have brown eggs, weigh about 40 grams.

Dwarf roosters, whose weight is only 1-1.2 kilograms, the weight of hens is about 0.8 kilograms. The average egg weight is about 35 grams.

These birds can be recognized by the practically vertical position of the posture, the straight back and the very muscular sternum. Their plumage is very short, tight to the body. The fighting qualities are manifested in a predatory gaze and a small head with a small but sharp beak (the upper part of the beak is slightly bent down). Also, they are characterized by a very long and uniform in thickness neck, strong long legs and a small lean tail.

Of course, that the greatest value is neither as instances for exhibitions and fighters in battles, and not as meat products. However, the greater the weight of the bird, the more meat it can give. At the same time, it has a fairly good taste. Egg-laying is also quite satisfactory - about 60 eggs per year (we have already mentioned the sizes above).The hens are able to hatch the eggs themselves, although the hatchery method of breeding chickens also shows a good result.

One of the most important characteristics of this breed is a very strong fighting character. But if in the ring it is an important advantage and advantage, then in the home maintenance is a real problem, since the two roosters will never get along in one aviary with each other and with representatives of other birds.

Azo - the smallest fighting cocks

Despite their small size, these chickens can boast an extraordinary dexterity, thanks to which they act as winners in battles. This contributes to good physique:

• staging of the body abruptly falling, with a straight back and well-stretched muscles, but very small shoulders;
• due to perfect posture, birds even have a small bend in their neck, which seems to be even, almost imperceptible;
• the plumage is very graceful, non-abundant, tight to the body, often has a black color with a multi-colored saturated tint;
• the tail part, though well developed, has a slight plumage;
• the wings are small in size, but differ in a good width, fit snugly to the body, do not interfere and are not damaged during the battle;
• the shape of the beak is pinkish, it is small in size.

For what purposes are Touzo smoked: a little about productivity

Because of their small size and poor plumage like birds of the meat direction, Touzo has absolutely no value. They are grown mainly as representatives of a rather rare, but popular, fighting breed. It is quite simple to breed them, since chickens constantly carry out rather intensive egg-laying - on average, they can carry about 60 eggs a year. Eggs are small in size - only 35 grams, but almost all are fertilized (if chickens are kept with a rooster). The color of the eggshell is light brown.

In size, this breed is very small, which is why it is considered dwarf. The average weight of roosters is 1.2 kilograms, and the chickens weigh in the range of one kilogram. When crossed with other breeds, they also actively retain their main characteristics, although they lose their value and pure blood.

In battle, these birds are simply fearless and without the slightest confusion they enter into battle with any adversary, even several times larger than him. It looks pretty impressive in the arena, which contributes to the demand for the breed.

However, there is one small drawback: it is very weakly distributed, so in order to begin to breed Tuzo’s fries, you first have to look very well for at least a couple of their representatives. In content, they are no different from other fighting breeds: they require a separate cage and a large number of protein feeds.
