Through all this time I have seen all the comments about the Peruvian game fowls and there is a misunderstanding where they came from and why they look just the way they do...most countries in the American Continent has imported birds from the old country (Europe) and Peru has seen the bankiva (Jungle fowl) that was the original fowls brought by the Spaniards to Peru. Through many years this was modified and hybrid with other fowls, from all over the world. Game fowl is a status of social class in Peru in the Vireynato era! The most wealthy plantation owner in Peru started to introduce fowls from Asia and Africa. STAMPA is a way of life on how your roosters will look, the Feather colorings and the long legs, the tight muscle confirmation on a fowl was what used to distinguish the plantation owners. It was all about the gameness. Owners took pride on how the fowl looked and for many centuries Peruvian breeders looked for a way to improve the look and speed as a quality of their game fowl. Now many of you may think that all game fowl in Peru are incredible, and that is not true...Some Galpones will breed junk..We have to understand the behaviors of breeders that follow a good practice and understanding their fowls and family is what makes success happen... also being consistent in your breeding practice improves your chance on producing winners...
