Old English Game fowl : ウィキペディア英語版 | Old English Game fowl
The Old English Game is a breed of chicken. Old English Game fowl are prized among poultry breeders and thus fetch a high sale price. Standard Old English Game cocks were originally bred for cockfighting. ==History==
The Old English Game fowl is one of the oldest strains of poultry. Through the Middle Ages the breed was developed by the English nobility into many varying colours, traits desirable for cockfighting were chosen by breeders. Cockfighting became illegal in Britain and Australia in the 1850s and English game fowl are usually kept just by poultry enthusiasts. Today the breeds are used at poultry exhibitions and breeders try to develop stock that will win prizes. Exhibition bred cocks can fetch amounts over US$600. Breeders aim to preserve the present strains of this species as well as trying to keep the colour and traits for poultry showing and exhibits.
