Cock game rooster

This year, we are proud to remake this game into a decentralized PvP game. Every battle in this game will be Player versus Player. Similar to the real cockfighting game, you need to raise your roosters, and fight with other players.

There is no PvE, PvG mode in this game. The game is fully decentralized, and we do not have any centralize backend server for the game.

Every battle will happen on blockchain, and the game logic is open source. Before I bred any of his sons to a yard of my mugwump hens, I satisfied myself that he was a game cock.

The first and only one of his sons that I used as a brood cock was a black with yellow legs and beak, had a few white feathers in his tail and wings. I fount him in a main at Hibernia Park, Charleston, S. He was a high flying cock and never tried to bill as long as his adversary could stand on his feet. In several of his fights, he killed opponents without ever touching hom with his mouth.

It was invariably my practice to breed from the best fighter of his year and never to breed from any cock until he had fought several battles, in order that I might determine his quality.

I bred this black cock to a yard of my choicest pure Mugwumps hens and he sired several black stags and occasionally a white stag or pullet. From him I got my white and Black Mugwumps. Always the White and Black Mugwumps were bred exactly alike. Note the staement that I ama bout to make, namely: that no Mugwump of the present day, no matter where he or she may be found, has any blood in its composition save what came from that black cock. He was the only son of the Baltimore cock that I bred from and I never used any of the daughters of the Baltimore cock for breeding purposes.

If I used a son of the black cock he was invariably mated to pure Mugwump hens. I once shipped a coop of five cocks to Sr. Bustamente, three reds, 1 black and 1 white, all brothers, and all acted alike in the pit. In the foregoing I have given the orgin of the Mugwumps, as many of the cock fighters in the South know it be.

In conclusion I will say my main reason in giving you the foregoing information is that I have replied to many letters asking to find the purest Mugwump, to the effect that, in my judgment, your yards will come nearest filling the bill. I also found an article adding a little more information to the one above.

Aldrich Mugwumps Gus Frithiof, Sr. Alfred Aldrich about 90 or more years ago. They also knew that from time to time some whites would appear in the strain after Aldrich bred from s ason of the Baltimore cock. Andrew P. The Baltimore cocks contained white bloodlines in his pedigree and eventually it shows up in the strain. Aldrich had his own reason for denying he knew where the cock came from the breeder or had forgotten when he wrote about their bloodlines in I hope that this helps clear up the pedigree of the Mugwumps and why some of them can throw — back to the white color in them.

Gus Frithiof, Sr. Austin, Texas. Dehner Racey of Mo. In he bought a pure O. Wilson White Mug cock and crossed him over the black Bigger Mugs.

From this cross came several dark blue pullets and several spangle stags, but no whites. He bred one of the spangle stags over the black hens and got about 50 per cent dark blues with lemon hackles, dark eyes and legs but still no pure Whites. These mugs are high breaking, fast shuffling cocks and Racey has won several large derbies with them. This came from the July gamecock. He purchased from Earl Bigger of South Carolina in , some of his dark type mugs and with these fowl Racey and Morris won a good majority.

In a pure white Mugwump cock was purchased from O. Wilson of Allendale, SC and mated to the six black hens, full sisters, from the original Earl Bigger stock. The offspring of this mating produced blues, black reds, brown red and one spangle stag, This new blood produced exceptional cutting fowl and a great improvement was noted in speed, disposition and feathering. Being all of mug blood, no difference was noted in conformation.

The following year the same black hens were mated back to the spangle stag. A son to mother and aunt mating. It was not until this breeding that they were given the name Racey Mugs. A few years later,and still sticking to speed type cutting Mugwumps a white Mug brood cock was purchased from Frederick of Allendale S. These 2 cocks were used over Racey Mug hens and in this way it is now possible for Racey to add desired pit qualities to his fowl without going out of the Mugwump family.

The last 2 crosses produced high breaking, shuffling type of cocks. Racey tried a number of crosses on his Mugs, but none were as good as the straight Mugwump family. Thus, all of these trial crosses were discarded. Most people in ordering Racey mugs ask for the blue color, but the brown reds and blacks have just as high a winning percentage in the pit. When being conditioned for the pit, these fowl do better when handled gently, and are at their best fighting in good flesh. Racey got many shake cocks, but prefers smaller ones that fit well into derby.

Just after the close of the Civil War, , Mr. Albergotti, my father, began raising game fowl, procuring his original stock from Col.

Morgan, Col. Tom Bacon and Mr. Cephus McMichel. After breeding these fowl strictly pure and breeding them very close for eight or ten years he found they needed an out-cross. At this time Baltimore cocks were great favorites in Charleston, S. We crossed with these cocks for about four years, and the result was magnificent game fowl — rapid, game, savage and beautiful, all that could be desired. Finding that their size and strength were again diminishing, we prospected for an outcross and finally procured a blue-red cock and two hens from Baltimore.

As to the result I can only say that they not only never lost a main, but it was a rare ocasion for them to loose a single battle. These fowl were only fought locally in South Carolina. When another out-cross was needed we got a Grist Champion cock, direct from Col.

This cock was an excellent specimen and Col. Grist regarded him very highly. A Dunbar cock from Beech Island, S. Johnson, of Union, S. My cocks at this time were making splendid records whosoever they fought.

Kent, of Lenoir, N. Up to this time, Jamuary , when we commenced to advertise in Grit and Steel our fowl had no name. We selected the name Stonewall, in memory and honor of the great Confederate chieftain, Stonewall Jackson, whom we all loved.

Since I have made several crosses, always buying my stock direct from the originator, some of the crosses are as follows: Grist Gradys, Redquills, from Col. Carter, and especially good cross from a cock that I went to Washington, D. This covers the crosses I have made, in a lifetime. I have ten or twelve yards and I always put this new blood in quarters into my old fowl. My fowl are strictly American, no importations.

They have straight, small combs, no Oriental blod whatsoever. We have infused new blood whenever we thought it necessary, according to our own ideas. My Stonewall fowl, altho not bred for color, are generally brown-reds or black-reds with dark legs and red or black eyes. From that time on the once great family of fighting cocks that he had built decined. Though many may boast of having them today, old timers know that the claims have little or no foundation.

Back in , Wingate brought over from north of Ireland a single comb strain of chickens. In color they were mostly brown red, some showing ginger color and all showing dark legs and hazel eyes. The hens were sharp and stylish looking a dark brown or ginger some showing straw neck feathers. They were medium stationed and many grew spurs. He had her set up and mounted when she died.

This mounting hen is in existence today but looks nothing like the hens of the so-called wingates you see in these later days. The cocks of this family were not big cocks being in condition 5. Broad backed and not heavy, though strong boned.

They were single stroked cocks fast and strong in the mix-up not high flyers, rushing wild hitting cocks they now want to call Wingates. Did Wingate add any new blood to the above family?

Of course he did he added the blood of an English hen he brought over a mahogany colored hen with hazel eyes and dark lead colored legs. He bred this hen under the Irish cock and then bread some of those cross back into the original line. Holly Chappell enters the picture, Chappell while down in Alabama on one of his trips to the south got hold of a standout cock and brought him home.

He bread him over his hens that were understood to be north Briton and brown red crosses. Wingate and Chappell were friends, wingate got one of the cocks out of this cross and bred him over a brown red hen. After reducing the cross some more, he put the blood of the Chappell line into the Irish family.

That is the layout of the Wingate Irish brown reds as the old-timers up here in the hills recall it. Thomas Bacon, of Edgefield, S. Franklin, of Columbia, S.

Cocks run in weight to shakes, and are black or black with lemon hackle and saddle. Hens are black to whipporwill brown, and both have dark legs and daw or hazel eyes. They are among one of our oldest strains, and still extensively bred. Tom Bacon in a main at Columbia, S. He showed two different strains of cocks in the main both were imported from Ireland and were reputable originally stolen by the warden of a vast estate to exchange them for a coon and opossum that came from America.

Here they had been carefully bred and guarded for over a century by a line of Irish Earls. All straight combed, with black faces and combs, eyes, dark red or hazel brown not black with lead or dark legs.

After the main Col. Major Burnett Rhett, of Chareleston, S. Later Barney Dunbar, a wealthy game fowl fancier but not a breeder , of Augusta, Ga. Morgan got some of them from Wilson and these were later known as Morgans.

Major Rhett also got some hens from Tom Fowl Wilson and bred his great Stone cock over them, producing the famous Rhett fowl. Later Foster quit pitting cocks due to overweight and gave them to an Irishman Peter Sherron on the condition that he be a partner in all mains fought with these cocks. They had by devious methods finally found their true home for Sherron dearly loved them saying he knew of these fowl in Ireland, and that they were both invincible and unobtainable in the old country.

On the way home he met Harrison Butler and Jim Clark and told them his intentions. John Fair and a trio to his nephew, Dr. Pierce Butler. Fashion is a eccentric in the course it takes and goes chasing through a labyrinth of paths most unheard of and ridiculous, but once steadied and on the serving back to reason ever turns first to some past object of popular and meritorious favoritism, hence it is not surprising that the fancy of game chicken men is turning just now to the two greatest families if fighting fowl ever sent ot America from the British Isles.

Of the former there are others much better qualified to speak, nor do I pose as an authority on the Warhorse, or claim to know their history better than many, but I do know the facts regarding their name, their ancestry, and the only known true source from which the pure stock could have been obtained.

Tom Bacon a main of cocks at Columbia, S. Stone used against Bacon two styles of cocks evidently of different families and distinctive in appearance. One portion of them showing bright red plumage, black or mottled breast, orange hackle, yellow beak and moccasin legs stripped on the outside with flesh colored red.

These he called Gliders or Claibornes and I am informed that occasionally one showed a tassel and some few a round head with pea comb. The other cocks he showed were brown and mahogany reds. All smooth heads and single, straight comb with black faces, comb black or sooty looking, eyes dark red or hazel brown not black and lead or dark legs. After the main there were several cocks purchased of Mr.

Stone by the Southerners and when he returned to Marblehead, shipped at least two coops of fowl back to parties in Georgia and South Carolina. Bacon purchased a Glider and an Irish cock out of Mr. Burnett Rhett purchased the finest cock Stone showed in his main, a 6. Dunbar of Augusta, GA. Stone and had shipped him from Marblehead a trio of each familiy. Dunbar went to Marblehead and selected these trios in person.

Morgan got from Wilson and were afterwards known as Morgans. Also Maj. Rhett purchased hens of Tom Wilson and bred his Stone cock over them producing the celebrated Rhett fowl of which it is said there was never a runner. Seiley kept them one year and gave them up. Later on Foster quit pitting cocks on account of his corpulency and gave every feather over to Peter Sherron, with the understanding that latter would take Foster on as partner in all battles fought with these cocks.

Sherron was an Irishman, a cocker on the sod and again in America. He claimed to have known this stock in Ireland and that they were invincible in the old country, but unobtainable from the estate on which they had been bred by a line of Irish Earls for more than a century.

He believed the tale Mr. He claimed to have carried a coon and opossum over from America and that one of the wardens on this estate was so infatuated with the animals that he stole a trio of these sacred chickens and gave them in exchange for the American rodents.

Be this as it may, Sherron at least, believed it and certainly it is thousands of subsequent importations from Ireland have shown no such game fowl as the Stone Brown Reds.

Sherron is said to have made stacks of money fighting these cocks against the rich planters around Augusta. At the Shades on Ellis street this cock was pitted against a fine cock in the hands of Ike Little. It was a cock fight and both cocks were down unable to stand or press the battle after one tremendous pitting.

Neither party would consent to a draw; dark came on, lights were gotten and the crowd stood vigil over the almost lifeless birds. Thus the watch was kept until the town clock, commenced striking the hour of ten. Thus the first name Warhorse, but just a fore-runner of the laurels that were ultimately to crown that name.

Fifteen cocks fell in and each side had won seven battles and ready to decide the biggest and hardest fought main ever known till that day. Franklin showed a Chappel Dom that the Columbia contingent thought invincible. It is said that when this pair of cocks came in the betting was tremendous. Men became frantic in their efforts to place large wagers on the issue, wildly offering their homes, their negroes, bank accounts, big plantations and favorite horses on one side or the other.

Allen bred the Warhorses pure and for the exclusive use of Hicks and himself. In a main between Augusta parties and the Barckley, Brown combination, Decmeber , there was a Warhorse cock ordered for battle that went sick and Jim Thomas, who had him walked from Allen,gave the cock to Hone Ridley.

When Allen heard of this he flew into a rage and started home swearing he would kill or sell every game chicken he owned. He hailed down them and told the story of how he had been treated about the cock and of intentions to do away with ever damn chicken he owned.

Without a word, Mr. Butler gave him the money and Allen promised to have the fowl next morning. Clark rode on home with Mr. Butler and found Col. John Fair and Dr. Pierce Butler, a nephew of Harrison Butler, at the house. All three of these gentlemen spent the night at Mr. To each of his guests Mr. Butler presented a trio of Warhorses, to wit: a trio to Col.

Fair,a trio to Jim Clark and a trio to his nephew, Dr. Of the subsequent history of the flock left in the hands of Mr. Butler, I have never known. Butler, a brother of Harrison, and father of Dr. Pierce, sent me a Warhorse cock in the early eighties which he said came from Harrison. Also about that time he gave Col. Mclver, of Darlington, S. Certainly they have faded away and perished or friend Jim Clark would have mentioned something of their history to me in our communications on the Warhorse.

Fair took his trio to Edgefield, S. It was his pleasure to breed fine fowl and present them to his friends. Notable among those to whom pure Warhorses were given by him was the late R.

Dick Johnson,of Union, S. Both of these men were famed breeders and the latter, perhaps the best known of all late day Warhorse breeders. I may say that by the vast majority of uninformed, Hopkinson was regarded as the premier breeder and perpetuator of pure Warhorses, the one man owning the stock to which all must trace their orgin.

Hopkinson owned a pure Warhorse five years after Col. Fair made him a present of the trio. The trio given to Jas. Clark were taken to his home and have been bred pure ever since. Clark is a good and careful breeder and a man of spotless personal character. He is now quite old but still breeds game fowl and follows hounds.

The Dr. Butler trio were shipped to Col A. Butler at Columbia, S. The Col first put these fowl at the penitentiary, but not being satisfied with the run sought my father, then in the Senate from Marion county and asked if he could not get them a run on his big Donoho plantation in Marlboro County, S. The Donoho was the largest cotton plantation in the state. Some 2, acres of cleared land on which bales of cotton, feed for fifty head of horses, for big herd of cattle, and numbers of sheep and hogs was made annually as early as , and which now produces over 1, bales of cotton annually.

Butler trio were transfered to this place in March or April, , and kept and bred in the middle of this big place for eight or ten years. Butler and Dr. Butler got all of the fowl they wanted from the yard and the balance of the stags were walked around the place.

Butler was a t the home in Marion frequently and often drove up to Donoho to see the crops, the colts, the cows and the chickens. Warhorse, therefore, not from the family of Stone Irish fowl that inherit the name. In the second place Col. Bacon did not breed his Irish fowl pure from Stone as he got them.

He crossed the two strains from Stone and later put Wellslaeger blood into them. There is seemingly quite a divergence of opinion as to the general description of the Warhorse, as to color, color of eyes, legs, etc. Will say the cocks were mostly brown reds, some few mahogany red and occasionally one came very dark, in fact, black except for a few brown or mahogany feathers in hackle or saddle or a dash of red across the wing butts.

The hens were mostly whippoorwill brown, with quite a number shading off to jet black. They all showed sooty looking faces and combs, lead legs of light and dark red, some hazel brown having the appearance of being black at a little distance.

There seems to be an impression that these fowl should have black eyes — this is not correct — on the other hand those Warhorse that show invariably a jet black eye are as a rule, clustered up with other blood. Of course, I would not say that this feature is fatal to their purity of blood for I admit many showing an eye almost, or quite, black and might have had black eyes by encouraging the feature, hence could not assert that they are not pure Warhorse because they show black eyes, but do know it to be a fact that certain Warhorses were once bred on Elsin black eye stock and later sold as Warhorses with the claim that the pure stock must show black eyes.

Now, I think, I have written enough. Information I have been able to give has been gotten from time to time from Col. Butler, Col. Description: Dark and red eyes, dark legs; black, black red, some spangle and brass back. Description: Dark and black red, black hackle, dark legs. Perigo, Thompson, MO. Description: Cocks dark brown, dark legs, straight comb. Bloodlines: Irish Grey cock and Warhorse hen.

Reds, a Baltimore cock, Description: Black, black red, dark legs, dark and red eyes. This book may or may not shed a lot of information on Blue fowl. What I am saying is that a man would just have to read it and find out. I have had a life long affection for Blue fowl and at times a belly full of resentment for Blue fowl. In other words I am saying that I beleive I have been exposed to some of the best and for sure some of the worst Blue fowl on earth. I would probably be a pretty safe bet that the first Blue fowl could have been a result of crossing Pyle colored fowl onto red fowl or brown-red fowl or etc.

I would also bet that the first Pyle colored fowl probably came from Ireland. I am not really sure of that, but neither is anyone else. In a very old book that I once read concerning early American history of game fowl, there were references to Irish Pyles.

I remember that we had just arrived at the pit and weas getting out of the car when a man walking past us stopped to say hello to Mr. Wooten and Mr. Mr Wooten asked him if he had brought some of his bad Blue with him today. Later Mr. As the day went on I became friends with Teacher and I bet on every Blue cock he fought that day and I bet on every cock that Mr. Fuller fought. That was my lucky day because Teacher won the derby and Mr.

Fuller only lost their money fight. I came home with a pocket full of money and hooked on Blue chickens. On of the Blue occks fought that day was the famous Pretty Boy Floyd cock, and I remember that he won easily. If Teacher is still alive and involved with the Blue Darters, I would like to get in touch with him. They would come red with a light blue to dark blue chest and tail, solid white, Pyle, Spangled, a brownred blue color, and some even came red in color with no blue feathers showing at all.

It is just my opinion but I beleive that most of the Blue chickens that are around today are either Miner Blues or carry some Miner blood in them. After being influenced by the good Blue cocks the Teacher fought when I was a kid, I began to buy Blue roosters here and there and the majority of them were simply no good. Quite a few Blue roosters quit on me during that period. Finally my father completely bought out a man named Mr.

Mooreland of Lancaster, Texas. The majority of the cocks from Mr. These were actually the first good Blues I ever had my hands on. I had a lot of fun fighting these Mooreland Blues because a lot of people would turn their nose up at them because they were Blue in color.

This sure did add extra fun to whipping them. I remember Burt Fuller was at our house and we were fighting those Blues and winning nearly every fight and Burt told someone that he knew it had to feel funny getting whipped by Blue roosters like that. The man nearly growled as he walked away. I was only about 13 or 14 years old and I sure got a kick out of that. Johnny Stansell perfected a family of Miner Blues by loading it up with his best Hatch blood and then for some reason he disposed of it.

I say he perfected his family of Blues because they ended up in the hands of a friend of mine and I sometimes have to fight at this family and I have seen them fight at other people. These Stansell Blues have everything it takes to win and they do win and they are game as hell.

Don and Wanda own several families of fowl but they also own a famimly of Blues that they bred up themselves.

When I first met Don he let me have a Blue cock and this cock turned out to be everything a game cock should be. As in any animal, be it dogs, cats, birds, horses, etc. These breeds have a number of varieties, families, or lines. But this time we will focus solely on describing the characteristics of the best fighting cock breeds. The common question asked by many sabungeros people engaged in cockfighting is what are the best breeds of fighting roosters?

This is a question, although it seems very simple, it is very complicated to answer. Since it will depend on many external factors such as food, environment, vitamins for fighting roosters, training, or preparation, which does not only imply their genetics or lineage. From the point of view of experts, there is no perfect breed of gamefowls. But if there is a large number of roosters from a very good family, which with dedication and work can become an excellent fighting cock.

It should be mentioned that within each line or family of roosters there may be a large number of varieties or subfamilies. Since the breeder can make the cross with another breed to improve some characteristics of the bird. So if you plan to buy a specific breed of fighting cock, we recommend that you first know all the qualities and characteristics of the most suitable fighting cock breeds.

Choose the breed that best suits your needs, but remember: you must provide the care and nutrition necessary to develop its potential to its fullest. Developed by Carol Nesmith, Sweater has consistently won the majority of derby fights in hard competition over the years in the bloodiest cockpits in the Philippines and Mexico.

Sweater became the winningest bloodline of fighting cock not only in the Philippines but also in South America, particularly in Mexico. Although Carol is not the original breeder of the famous bloodline, he is instrumental in its popularity and the one who refined its bloodline so he deserves all credits for the Sweater development.

The person who sold him the original stock even told him that the bred could no longer compete. The Kelso rooster breed is one of the most classic for combat, they are very popular and can be commonly seen in cockfighting venues.

They are birds that are very good at attacking both above and below their opponents. They are very intelligent roosters, which have earned their popularity as one of the best fighting breeds.

Aesthetically they are very beautiful animals, of great size. For many cockfighting enthusiasts, it is the most beloved and sought-after breed of fighting cocks, since until today very good results are obtained.

Every cockfighter in the Philippines from city to rural sitio knows what roundhead gamefowl is. Roundhead is one of the most popular breeds of fighting cocks in the country and the only thing one should know about where his gamefowl came from.

The bloodline is very important since there are many roundhead breeders in the country. Experienced cockfighters know the difference between pure and fake roundheads. The purebred and original roundhead has a pea comb but not all roosters having pea comb are roundheads.

Yes it was. Chicken is the name of the species of bird that includes hens and roosters. A chick is a baby chicken. To be more specific, a "pullet" is a female chick and a "cockerel" is a male chick.

I will include this in my answer. This answer would be improved by the addition of source citations.
