Somewhere in the Southwestern Desert...

[Sentenciador]

There are still people that breed and propagate the gamecock bloodlines Even in the middle of the desert in 120 degree sun.

Enjoy the pics of the people I met there.



Pics of one of the "Corrales" or farms to us.

7/8, 1/8, 5/8 and 1/2 filipino blood is better than nothing...

[Nico31]

This blood percentage thing reminds me when the Philippines is under the colony of Mexico while Mexico is under the colony of Spain

pardon my ignorance nico31 were we really a colony of
mexico ? I will have to do research on my history...

Yes sir, its one of the awkward things when a colony is ruling another colony. But when Mexico got its independence from Spain, then the power of ruling Philippines got transferred back to Spain. It was thought to us in History.

The archipelago (Philippines) was Spain's outpost in the orient and Manila became the capital of the entire Spanish East Indies. The colony was administered through the Viceroyalty of New Spain (now Mexico) until 1821 when Mexico achieved independence from Spain. After 1821, the colony was governed directly from Spain.

The Philippines was not a colony of Mexico. It so happens that the viceroyalty of New Spain was based in Mexico City at that time. This viceroyalty was an appointed Administrator by the King of Spain.
New Spain was a colonies of Spain comprising Mexico, Peru, Central America, California, Texas, Puerto Rico, some parts of USA and Canada and the East Indies such as the Philippines, Taiwan, Marianas Islands, Mallacas.
New Spain was a colony of Bastile and Spain!

I just hope there was no linebreeding to get those percentages.
But seriously thanks for sharing the pictures of your visit. Did you asked what they feed their birds to compensate for the lack of green grass? probably vegetables, or alfalfa I would think. Thank you

[wild willy]

The 120 degree temps suck. so does the lack of grass but it sure is nice in november

[tonio]

This must be where you learned to cook your award winning chili!

Ya I feed them alfalfa hay to compensate for the lack of green grass.

Hey, where you there? How'd you know about that?

Actually, I did bring home some dried chiles from there and brought it here and used it in that chili contest. I think that was the ace up my sleeve

[Caliblue10]

Can u expand more on feeding alfalfa ...pros and cons is there an age to start feeding thanks

[BamaOkie]

Soaked oats would be my guess.

[OR GALLO]

Alfalfa is actually a really good supplement, we feed it to our birds in Mexico for the same reason, no access to grass. We have 6 corrales were we keep birds, but all the birds are in fly pens. Alfalfa has a high amount of protein, calcium, minerals, iron, vitamin A, vitamin C, vitamin D, vitamin E and vitamin K.
