Genes that dictate fighting ability and style
At Advanced Breeding Academy we study the classes of traits. These are the essential wild type, the improvable wild type, and the mandatory addition. But aside from these, there are other hereditary factors that will contribute to what ability will manifest.
One is tendency.
Let’s take for example the instinct of the rooster is to avoid being hit when an attacker strikes. Some roosters may duck, others may side step, and others may strike back. These three possible reactions to avoid being hit is determined by tendency.
Counter striking and side stepping are good reactions. Ducking is bad. So the job of the breeder is to breed toward the good tendencies, not toward the bad. Learn the techniques of breeding for ability at Advanced Breeding Academy.
Do not breed individuals that are noted for bad tendencies. Breed individuals possessing the tendencies you want.
There is temperament.
There are hot and the cool temperament, and there is the in between or intermediate.
In roosters we can say that cool tempered individuals are those that wait for the other individual to make the first move. They are often described as “smart.”
The hot tempered are those who rush and attack their opponents. They are called “rusher.”
Then the in between are neither too much of a waiting fowl nor too aggressive. These are the flexible and this might be better.
So depending on your personal preference, the way is to pair individuals with the same temperament. The temperament that you like. It is not advisable to pair individuals with different temperament as it may result in offspring with “confused” temperament.
Another is structure.
There are structures that hindered a rooster to execute athleticism. Examples are bad station and poor balance. Or defective body conformation. You can’t expect a rooster with too long body to be quick in turning. In the same manner you can’t expect a long limo to make a quick u turn. You can’t expect a rooster with extra long legs to be as fast as one with a well proportioned station.
Okay, good body structure is full breast, proportionate body length, football shaped body, strong bones and full flesh. But you also have to consider balance, station and gait.
Traits for body conformation, breast and body shape are tangible. Balance, station and gait are somewhat intangible and subjective. Gait is very important. A rooster with excellent gait must have to be well balanced and with good station. Because individuals with poor balance and bad station cannot be graceful in movement. Like breeding for tendency and temperament, breed towards positive structures and away from bad ones.
