Game Fowl School !!!!

How about the different methods of conditioning the birds? Could y'all talk a lil about that. I only knew 2 people that raised game fowl. One was a Cajun . He was big on the right diet and line breeding and just was a fanatic about the overall health of the birds. He was very successful for many years. I don't remember him sparring them or anything. He just tested them at the derbys in Sunset.

Now the other guy I knew was a Cuban who lived down the road. He was always doing things with his birds that I didn't understand as a kid but i was always curious. Some things he would do. He would hold one cock and his boy would hold another and they would just tease them for hours on in without letting them get to each other and then pick them up. He would also teather one bird in a pit and take this sawed off homemade looking broom thing and drag it back and forth across the ground in front of him. He would also put them on rope in place of a roost pole and you could see them struggling to keep their balance until they got use to standing on the rope. He had hundreds of birds. When they made it illegal in Louisiana he got busted at home one day and he went to jail and them summbitches took and destroyed all his birds. The state police was in on it and they made an example out of him.
