How game is your chicken?
What does gameness mean? Running away from a fight is a sign of lack of gameness. Yes no doubt. But not running away is not the only parameter for gameness.
Gameness, doesn’t only mean bravery. It also means a rooster has power and endurance put together.
Gameness, power and endurance are seemingly correlated. Usually, a cock that is very game also has power and endurance. These are the three characteristics that give a cock a lot of bottom, the ability of the cock to fight up to the last drop of blood with determination and capability to kill up to the very end.
Gameness is the never-dying intent to kill, regardless of the situation. Not just the desire to prolong the fight by continuously pecking during careos. There is a distinction between a game cock, one that desires to continue fighting, and one that only pecks back and stays back.
Gameness, they say is the foundation that enables a cock to do all the wonderful things.
Power is the capability to deliver a blow forcefully and the strength to drive the knife deep into the flesh even when mortally wounded.
Endurance is the capability to ignore pain and endure wounds, including mortal ones, over a long period of time.
These three make gameness or bottom. Gameness is the ability of the cock to remain in the contest up to the end; the capability to come from behind.; the possibility to kill with its last ounce of strength and last drop of blood. It is not just not running away.
