Legal Dilemmas of Gamefowl Ownership

Have a seat, this is a long one. As stated in the video I'm not promoting any illegal activity. This video is about how items, words, and actions can be turned against even the most law abiding among us. Check out our videos regarding Tommy Carrano to get even more of an idea on the perils we as gamefowl enthusiasts face in the U.S.

[@ArtByKarenEHaley]

The coloration on these birds is gorgeous. It would be great to be able to impart the beauty of these birds for future generations without fear of being accused of illegal activity.

Beautiful Birds

[@nopeda1]

I love game chickens and know that every bird who goes to the pit if given the choice of either going to the pit to fight for his life and the lives of his hens and offspring at 6 months old or older, or being hung by his feet and having his throat slit at 8 weeks old, would go for the chance to fight for his life when he is older and more mature. But somehow most people are not able to comprehend how that could possibly be true even for birds that are dead game by their own nature. Why is it impossible for them to comprehend something that is so totally obvious? Why??? Is there any way they could learn to comprehend that which is so totally obvious? Why are there no perches in those pens? Why is there no shelter from rain in any part of the pens? Are there perches inside the drums at the end of the pens?

Depends on the breeds that have your interest. There are books on Old English bantams, Books such as Oriental Gamefowl by Horst Schmudde, Kenny Troiano's got a few books on American Gamefowl as well as a podcast, There's an out of print trilogy called the Modern Cocker which was written dealing with the sporting aspect, but it also covers feeding, disease, breeder selection, pens, etc.

Wow nunca pense que fueran tantas restricciones. Yo criava mis gallitos desde pequeño y me encantaba ver los colores como cresian hasta que la abuela mia desidia ponerlos en el caso para comerlos. Hoy en dia me sigue este gusto por estos animalitos. Compre mi casita y e pensado comprar un pollito y creserlo es cucharlo cantar y verlo contento eso para mi es como terapia quisas por que los crie de muy pequeño pero viendo todas estas limitaciones es de pensarse .desafortunada mente estos animalitos no se pueden criar juntos y que no se aviolenten entre si. No culpo alas autoridades por todas estas restricciones ya que son basadas en experiencia de cituaciones con esto.preservar estos animalitos no nada varato el vitaminarlos en mi tiempos noera para pelerlos era mas para tenerlos fuertes y resistireran a las enfermedades como en los cambios de clima teniamos jeringuillas pera vacunarlos protegerlos. Y ahora todo eso se mal interpreta. Se rasuravan para el coruco . Se cortava la cresta para mejor reproducción al menos eso nos desian los viejitos que tenian estos animalitos hasta donde es verdadero pues no lo se solo son costumbres quiza. Bueno como todo ser racional tenemos que apegarnos a las reglas y respetar los convenios .comparto esto con respeto .

What are them blue roosters you got

[@ChickenWired]

only blues I've got are bantam Andalusians

[@stephendekoning5689]

Why do you not provide perches?

[@ChickenWired]

Good question. One reason is I would not be able to put the perch high enough for the birds to have to use their wings when they come down to the ground. This causes all the impact of landing to affect just the leg joints, whereas a higher perch allows them to use their wings to soften the landing. The other reason is about the only way I can figure to put a perch in would be to run it across the pen through the wire. This would invite the birds to want to roost there at night instead of the barrel and would put them up close to the wire where predators could reach them.

[@George-hl3qj]

The Federal Government ruled illegal in Puerto Rico. The problem is that gamefowl been here for decades if not more and now the birds are been sold for almost nothing or killed for meat and are very aggressive breeds by nature.

What happens to the birds when authorities confescate them?

[@ChickenWired]

it depends on the situation. Sometimes they "Adopt out" the birds, though that is usually only the females and young birds. The males are often euthanized on site prior to the trial or euthanized after taken to the "rescue" after being deemed "too abused for rehabilitation". Rarely they'll hold all the birds alive til the court case is settled and they are often cared for by people who are unfamiliar with the specific needs of this breed.

I don’t own any chickens but if people stop raising them they will become extinct , like a lot of other animals, all these animal activist who take chickens that are being taken care of very well, then kill them are a bunch of murdering hypocrites , If I was a chicken, I would like the chance to live two years and more if I win, than a eating chicken, 4 to 6 weeks in standing room only. I personally would love to have chickens if I was in the country, not the city !!!!!!! They are beautiful, smart, and can even be trained !!!! As for game chickens, true game chickens, they don’t have to be trained to fight, it’s breed in them and whoever owns should take proper precautions to keep the roosters separated, and accidents do happen and only real idiots who are looking for a reason to charge you would not realize this, it sounds like they are a bunch of corrupt people and again that steal properly cared for chickens then euthanize them!!!!!!!!!!

It can be a warning call. It’s a call that lets other chickens know that something’s up and there may be danger. My rooster does it all the time if he gets nervous. If he is alerting to an aerial predator he does a long drawn out scream, and an attack that is in action will have the typical squawking sound.
