How much is a Peruvian game fowl
How much should a Peruvian game fowl cost?
(This question asked when I first wrote this article more than a year ago, might then be answered in general terms during a forum with Rafael Bazan and Marlon Curi in January 2016 in Manila. The forum is organized by RB Sugbo Gamefowl Technology--Rey Bajenting update Nov 12, 2015)
"How much should a Peruvian game fowl cost?" is a frequently asked question from readers who are following my blogs. I have repeatedly answered this question in somewhat various manners. My answer always depended on how the particular question was premised. Why?
Because, there are good Peruvs, there are bum, there are peruv good for the torneos, there are good only for the mesa. There are good breeders in Peru, very good indeed, who are not known to us or to the world. There are also known breeders, very well- known, who are not good.
To be frank, there is no standard Peruvian Game fowl. Go to Peru, visit the different breeders and you will see how different looking are their roosters from one breeder to another. Check the photos on the net, and you will even see some so-called breeders of authentic Peruvian Game fowl, with birds from within his own flock that look far different from one another. American game fowl also vary in looks but the variations are not as pronounced as in the Peruvian game fowl.
Thus, there are so many self-professed experts on the Peruvian. Each of these self-proclaimed experts are limited to his own knowledge based on information from own sources. Although, there are a number of experts on their own Peruvian, there are but a few experts on the Peruvian in general.
The good breeders in Peru have certainly set their own strains, or possibly even breeds. But whatever they have created are their own and different from the other strains or breed created by other good breeders. The generic term for all these strains is “Peruvian.” However, not all Peruvians are the same.
The point is that the so-called Peruvian game fowl are different animals. Thus, the answer to the question of how much should a Peruvian cost, is it depends.
It depends on the particular Peruvian fowl and it depends on your purpose. For example, like the American game fowl, the cost of the Peruvian varies from one breeder to another. It may also vary from one particular Peruvian chicken to another. It may also vary depending on the purpose. For somebody who wanted to breed Pure or high grade peruvians the pure Peruvian will be more valuable to them. For those who just wanted a little Peruvian blood blended with their Americans then, the 1/2, 3/8 or 1/4 Peruvian will be their choices.
