New era, new idea
Like the other kinds of chicken breeding, gamefowl breeding has been practiced for centuries. When principles of inheritance or the science of genetics was discovered and studied, beginning in the early 20th century, the other fields of chicken breeding took notice and took advantage of the new found tool.
Breeding of chickens for meat and chickens for egg advanced tremendously. Gamefowl breeding did not. Mainly because gamefowl breeding is not a big industry worldwide like the meat and the layers. So until now gamefowl breeding mostly relies on the teachings of the master breeders before genetics was discovered.
Thus, for decades a number of odd notions existed in the field of gamecock breeding. But when I started writing for the gamefowl industry in the Philippines at about the turn of the millennium, I immediately begun to advance some revolutionary ideas I got from my readings. I sounded odd then.
I was sort of funny advancing theories unheard of in gamefowl breeding. It was not that what I was saying were wrong. It was just no body heard about it, because all they knew were what the old masters did not explain.
But now I have started reading ideas similar to mine, everywhere. Oh no. Not that the writers and advocates of similar ideas got the hint from me. Only, perhaps, that revolutionary ideas have found a place nowadays.
Indeed, always sound ideas eventually find a place. In the days of advanced information technology when anyone can be read or heard, a new idea reaches a large number of audience at great speed. If it is sound it will get accepted and repeated. Whereas before, we read or heard only what the old hands said several decades ago.
And, most people, because they didn’t want to think on their own, took the path of less resistance and just accepted and repeated what they had read and heard. Anyway it was fashionable. That is no longer the case now. Today, sound revolutionary ideas are quickly disseminated, accepted and repeatedly shared too.
