Peruvian Rooster

Peruvian gamefowl is a fairly old breed of gamefowl, dating back to the 1900s possibly but not perfected until the early ’70s. They were developed by crossing various Oriental gamefowl with Old English Games and Spanish gamefowl. The Oriental breeds mentioned mostly were Shamos, Malay, and Asil as well.

Peruvian gamefowl is becoming popular in the Philippines and is one of the most sought-after in today’s cockfighting but also the most expensive bird. As its name suggests, Peruvian gamefowl was developed in Peru and one of the oldest bloodlines but it took them decades of development to get the perfect bloodline – the one we have today.
