How much should a Peruvian game fowl cost?
T
his is a frequently asked question
from readers who are following my
blogs. How much is a Peruvian game
fowl? I have repeatedly answered
this question in somewhat various manners.
My answer always depended on how the
particular question was premised. Why?
a Peruvian cost, is it depends. It depends on
the particular Peruvian fowl and it depends
on your purpose. For example, like the
American game fowl, the cost of the Peruvian varies from one breeder to another. It
may also vary from one particular Peruvian
chicken to another. (Rey Bajenting)
Because, there are good Peruvs, there are
bum, there are peruv good for the torneos,
there are good only for the mesa. There are
good breeders in Peru, very good indeed,
who are not known to us or to the world.
There are also known breeders, very wellknown, who are not good.

To be frank, there is no standard Peruvian
Game fowl. Go to Peru, visit the different
breeders and you will see how different
looking are their roosters from one breeder
to another. Check the photos on the net,
and you will even see some so-called breeders of authentic Peruvian Game fowl, with
birds from within his own flock that look far
different from one another. American game
fowl also vary in looks but the variations are
not as pronounced as in the Peruvian game
fowl.
Thus, there are no experts on the Peruvian.
Each of these self-proclaimed experts are
limited to his own knowledge based on information from own sources. Although, there
are experts on their own Peruvian, there are
no experts on the Peruvian in general. The
good breeders in Peru have certainly set
their own strains, or possibly even breeds.
But whatever they have created are their
own and different from the other strains or
breed created by other good breeders. The
generic term for all these strains is
“Peruvian.” However, not all Peruvians are
the same.
The point is that the so-called Peruvian
game fowl are different animals. Thus, the
answer to the question of how much should
