You ought to breed from parent stock
In chicken breeding, including game fowl, it helps to breed from parent stock.
Parent stocks are produced to produce F1s. The F1s will serve the purpose they are intended for. If for laying, they will lay more eggs. If for meat they grow bigger faster. For cockfighting, they fight good.
But there must be two sets of compatible parent stock to produce good F1s.
Let’s take for example the case of most Peruvians here in the Philippines. Only a few Peruvians here in PH were of real Peruvian Navajero parent stock imported from Peru. And, even those imported from Peru are not parent pairs and trios. Because of the high cost of shipping and importing from Peru (at a time could reach 2,000USD a head), most imported only a brood cock and paired it with the F1s or F2s they got at their farm.
Most of the Peruvians in PH now were bought from breeders of Peruvian in US. Most of them are not even real experts on the Peruvian. And some of them bred low quality or fake Peruvians.
At the very best, if indeed they bred authentic Peruvian these breeders in US might have imported parent stocks from Peru and produce F1s in US. They sell these F1s. So what most Peruvian breeders in the Philippines who bought from these breeders in US got were F1s and they bred from these F1s, not from parent stock. What they produce are F2s. Therefore their buyers were breeding from F2s.
Of course, good real breeders can make their own foundation and parent stock. But it will take a long time and much trial and error efforts. And there are not many real breeders in the Philippines. Most of the so-called game fowl breeders in the Philippines are actually propagators, not breeders. They have no time nor the skills to breed. They propagate existing strains of game fowl.
Moreover, not many real game fowl breeders in the country are into breeding the Peruvian full scale. Very few experts yet have set their eyes on the Peruvian.
No wonder Peruvian bashers were having a heyday in mocking the present crop of Peruvians in the Philippines.
It is not easy to breed parent stocks. Why? Because to produce parent stock you need to breed from the foundation stocks, or in commercial breeding parlance the grandparent stock. There must be four sets of grandparents to produce two sets of unrelated parents that will in turn produce the good F1s.
RB Sugbo Sangre Real is solving the problem for Filipino lovers of Peruvian. We have brought in foundation stocks of Rafael Bazan from Lima, Peru and breed them in the Philippines. Soon real good parent stock, not just F1s, will be available in the Philippines at very affordable prices. Wait for it.
If you want to breed Peruvians, be sure you breed from parent stocks of real good Peruvian. Real good Peruvians are bred by real good breeders of the Peruvian that are fighting in tournaments in Peru.
