Kelso Gamefowl for Sale
Kelso Game Fighting Fowl possess distinct characteristics, including yellow feathers, white or yellow legs, square or round heads, and turkey crests. These cocks are known for their tenacity in cockfighting, where they fight “to the death.” If you’re building a fighting team or crew, owning one of these birds is a decision you won’t regret.
Historically, cockfighting had its roots in religious and political practices in Athens, serving to instill courage and valor in the youth. Over time, it evolved into a common pastime, losing its original political and religious significance.
Distribution of Cockfights
In some regions, these birds are fitted with fighting gear, such as metal spurs (known as gaffs) or knives, which are attached to their legs where the bird’s natural spur has been partially removed. A cockspur is a type of bracelet, often made of leather, with a curved, sharp spike that is affixed to the bird’s leg. The length of these spikes can vary, ranging from short spurs, which are just over an inch long, to long spurs that can be as much as two and a half inches long. In the 17th century, the highest levels of English cockfighting even used spikes made of silver.
Cockfighting is considered a blood sport due to the physical trauma inflicted by the cocks upon each other, which can be exacerbated by the use of metal spurs. While not all fights result in death, the cocks often sustain significant injuries. Cockfighting remains a popular event in some parts of the world, and its practice is regulated by law in some countries, while it may be outright banned in others.
