Distribution of Cockfights
In various regional adaptations, these birds are often fitted with fighting gear. This gear includes metal spurs (known as gaffs) or knives attached to their legs, where the bird’s natural spur has been partially removed. A cockspur typically consists of a leather bracelet with a curved, sharp spike affixed to the bird’s leg. The length of these spikes can vary, with “short spurs” measuring just over an inch and “long spurs” reaching nearly two and a half inches. In the 17th century, some of the highest levels of English cockfighting used silver spikes. However, it is important to note that these sharp spurs can pose risks, potentially injuring or even killing the handlers of the birds.
