Thai Game Chicken

Before 2010, I did not recognize any chicken pit breed beside Thai Chicken game This wide berast sleder and tta roster best for chciken fight. The chicken is rise for pi t cock chicken only. the owner usu for gamble. 

I do not like pit roosetr practice because its against animal walfaere. I just raise the rooster to improve ayam kampung genetics.  

I had raised Thai pit chicken. this chicken is a famous in my country. unfortunately, people raise it for pit cock. I just want to raise the chciken to breed the best breed. I cross a Thai male to the local chicken or Ayam kampung. the descen is better than its mother but its shorter than the father. 

Thai chciken is a pit cock. it has good reputaion for the the fighting chicken. the thail is very aggresive. they can fight until die. Some rooster chockse to drawn the arena when they cannot fight to opponent. the lose chciken cannaot fight again. they like a losser who afrrad to other chciken. wehereas a local chicken may run from the bad chciken but one day they can fight with the same chciken. the local chicken has hit and run strategy. 

Thai Chicken come from Thailand, suits with its name. They have been develeoped for hundreds years for it. the Thai has upright posture. string neck and beak. the shank is so compact and it could harm the owner. the rosterweight 3,5 kilograms while the hen is aroun 2,5 kilograms. while, ayam kampung just 1-1,5 kilogram. they have musucular body. it is a great breed with slender body. 

Today some raise the chicken for meat and show chciken. some people cross it with Cobb, Ayam kampong, and other chicken. the famous color is black breasted red. The skin benath the feather is red blood. The comb is red walnut. 

The Indio Gigante Competitor

I thought that the Indio Gigante is similar to Ayam Pelung in size. I had two Pelung rosters that tall almost one meters. Actually , I am not very sure the tall of my chicken. I read some literature that Ayam pelung tall is less than a meter. Finding one meter tall must be hard work. 

I suspected There is a pelung that reach one meter. In the Indonesian agriculture ministry said that the tall of the chicken is 40-50 cm or half of the Indio Gigante. The Chicken is not equivalent competitor for The Giant. 

I ask chat ai , what chicken breed that is equivalent counterpart of Indio Gigante. Unfortunately these chickens are not better  Ayam Pelung. The other competitor weigh 5-6 in average, meaning the weigh is not different to Ayam Pelung. 

One of competitor is Jersey Giant , that's is from Jersey United States. As the Giant , it weighs up to 6 kilogram . The tall is not tall as the Indio. Perhaps this is the second rank of size Chicken. .Jersey tall is about  55-66 cm or 22-26 inch. the Jersey Gianyis taller than Ayam Pelung but shorter than Indio Gigante. 

There is also Brahma. I have write about the chicken in my previous post. Though the name of the Chicken sounds India, the chicken originated  from United States. The full feathered Chicken from the feet and legs to the head. The thick feather cover it's body. It is tall about the chicken. This chicken is meat purpose, meaning the chicken for table 

Other competitor is Cornish. The chicken is originated in English. it weighs to five kilogram. The Cornish is a parent stock or Broiler Chicken. It famous by its wide broad breast. 

Don't forget the Malay that also the parent of Indio Gigante. Though not tall as the Indio but the chicken descent the upright posture to the Indio. This chicken looks like fighter. 

Why some single comb chicken leaf over?

the comb is the crown of the chicken. It's attract some chicken hobbyist. The red blood color make the chicken looks handsome. As the chicken comb grow up they look leaf over especially the single. We rarely find some chicken comb leaf over such as pea, cushion and other. I saw this case happen in rose comb such as silkie chicken. 

The comb is full of blood capiller and gel. The function of comb to keep the chicken body temperature. It is important part of chicken body. Without comb chicken may leave but it is not beautiful as the chicken that has red blood single comb. 

The leaf over could happen as the chicken grow. You may not see the young chicken comb leaf over. The older chicken that age more than two years suffered comb leaf over.. the pension of chicken layer also suffer comb leaf over but it is not visible as the what happen in rosters due the small size of the hen comb. The comb could not cover the chicken hen. 

Some chicken leaf over because the fighting. A roster may break the other roster camb. The kick of the rosters is strong enough to damage the chicken comb. That is why , the game rosters owner do not like single comb game chicken. In my hometown, there is a prcatidce of cutting comb. To me, it is not good. It could torture the chicken. you are better to buy other chicken rather than cut the comb the chicken . I do not whether the cutting of chicken comb is forbidden in overseas.
