White Kelso Gamefowl exhibit several distinctive characteristics, including yellow feathers, white or yellow legs, square or round heads, and turkey crests. These birds are known as “to the death” fighting cocks, making them essential additions to any fighting team or crew—you won’t regret owning one.

Historically, cockfighting began as both a religious and political institution in Athens, aimed at instilling valor in the minds of youth. Over time, it evolved into a common pastime throughout Greece, moving away from its original political and religious motives.

Distribution of Cockfights

In various regional adaptations, these birds are often equipped with fighting gear. Such gear includes metal spurs (known as gaffs) or knives attached to the leg, where the bird’s natural spur has been partially removed. A cockspur is typically a leather bracelet with a curved, sharp spike affixed to the bird’s leg. The length of the spikes can vary, with “short spurs” measuring just over an inch and “long spurs” reaching almost two and a half inches. In the 17th century, some of the highest levels of English cockfighting used spikes made of silver. However, it is important to note that these sharp spurs can pose risks, potentially injuring or even killing the bird handlers.
