3day Keep.docx

Re: Last 3 days before fight - methods of conditioning e2 isama narin natin during fight day para kumpleto na tayo nung mbsa ko to ito na ang ginawa kong pattern...ayos naman at nagpapanalo tnx bosing ncyabut... eto share ko sa nyo.:::::: step by step Pointing Procedures for Beginners on the Day of the Fight: Scenario: 3 Cock DerbyEstimated Start of Derby : 5:00 pm Estimated Time of First Fight : 7:30 pm Estimated Time of 2nd Fight : 10:00 pm Estimated Time of 3rd Fight : 3:00 am  When you get to the pit in the morning, take out all your chickens out of the carrying boxes, freshen them up a bit and put them in the holding stalls, This will give them time to relax and get used to the cockpit surroundings;  After about 30 minutes, drop them out and limber them in your 3’ x 3’ foldable pens. This will give them the opportunity to empty out some more and relax their muscles after the trip to the pit. Have them move around for about 15 minutes and then put them back into the holding stalls. I would like to have some pieces of corn shucks in the pens so that the chickens can scratch and move around a bit. This will loosen up their muscles. Do this for all your roosters that are to be fought. It is key that you are able to keenly observe the moisture level of their droppings. This will be key in pointing your roosters in order to have them fighting at their best.  After being sure that your roosters have emptied out already you can now go weigh your roosters to get their fighting weights. You can use the pits weighing scale or if you brought your own make sure you calibrate it with the scale at the pit.  To give your roosters a bit of an advantage, deduct 15 grams more than the bad weight allowance on the weights that you will be submitting. For example if the bad weight is 35 grams (good weight is 30 grams) it would be safe to deduct 50 grams off your actual weights. Hence, if your rooster weighed 2.000 kgs. , his submitted weight shall be 1.950 kgs.  After getting their weights and submitting them, it is now time to feed your roosters. Give them 25 grams of point feed. My point feed consists of half-cooked cracked corn, oat groats and pearl barley soaked in water for 1 day with a tiny portion of calf manna pellets. Using my point feed, I seldom to never give them water during the day of the fight. But I sometimes put in a pot of water just to see exactly how their coming up. A rooster that is coming on just fine will ignore the water in front of him. But a sick rooster will surely keep drinking. Watch out for this.  Your roosters should be crop empty by lunchtime, and they should be gut empty in the

afternoon. So come noontime, take out your roosters again and give them their “snacks”. I normally give them a couple of bites of apples or bananas. This will freshen them up a bit and stimulate their gut to empty out completely.  For the rooster that will be fought in the 1st fight which is estimated at around 7:30 pm, I would drop him out at around 3:00 pm and then again at 4:00 pm to check on his droppings. If he starts to show moisture droppings by this time, which is a white clear liquid. I will give him a little point feed about 5 grams to keep him from coming over the point. For the 2nd fight which is about 10:00 pm by this time (4:00 pm) he should be crop empty too and pretty close to being gut empty, I give him 10 grams of feed. The rooster that will be fought last, I give about 20 grams of the point feed.  I take them out of the holding stalls 30 minutes prior to heeling. I just hold them first for about 10 minutes… massage them a little bit and let them gradually adjust to the lights. I then put them in the 3’x3’pen to loosen them out and allow them to empty out some more. I also put some corn shucks so they can scratch a bit and help them loosen their muscles some more. I NEVER put the teaser cock close to the limbering pen. If your rooster is coming on point just right he should be able to see and react to the teaser cock even if he is a mile away. Your rooster should show sharp reflexes, his eyes should be watery, his cheeks should be puffy, and his face a bit oily… a well-bred rooster looking like this while he is being limbered for the fight will be a hard rooster to beat. I hope I am somehow able to assist the novices out there. Keep on cocking and keep those wins coming.
