Tried and Tested: The 21 Day Gamefowl Conditioning Program

The most seasoned pros will tell you that winning a fight takes a bit of luck but a large part of it is in how well you prepare or condition your gamefowl.

What is conditioning and why is it important?

Much like our athletes, gamebirds undergo a lot of preparation or conditioning before battle day. Early on, gamebirds are conditioned for battle to ensure that they grow healthy, as healthier birds have the upper hand on winning in the pit over sickly battle stags.

Pre-conditioning is a process where we prepare gamebirds both physically and mentally before the actual conditioning stage. This daily routine can be very demanding: exercises from the cord, fly pen, and scratch box, sparring, then finding time to rest. A high-protein diet, nutritional supplements plus processes like deworming, delousing, and bacterial flushing are also part of the pre-conditioning routine.
