Bloodlines would come and go. But an elite few would remain as all-time favorites, not just for decades, but for centuries. Because these bloodlines possess distinct traits that they are prepotent of, and thus they could pass on to succeeding generations. These bloodlines carry with them not only essential wild type traits to chicken, but also traits that are mandatory addition for gamefowl.

Mandatory addition traits are added by good breeders to enable the gamefowl to function and perform the purpose of its domestication, which is to excel in the pit.

Among these bloodlines are hatch and mug. Because an authentic hatch and mug, meaning those possessing the bloodline characteristics of the hatch and mug, have distinct traits of which it is always prepotent of.

Among the traits the hatch is famous of are power, gameness and endurance. While the mug has speed, agility and alertness in its favor. The hatch possesses mandatory addition traits, while the mug’s fighting characteristics are influenced by essential wild type traits.

Thee are only three classes of traits that influence fighting ability of gamefowl, namely; essential wild type, improvable wild type, and mandatory addition.
