# Animal Welfare The Barnyard ensures to produce quality gamefowl, and we do so by adopting an advanced and innovative approach to how we choose to run our farms and management systems. The Barnyard does not agree with the traditional cockfighting, or bladed cockfighting, as through these fights the chickens are brutally killed. Cockfighting is against the law in most countries around the world, and because of this the Barnyard has sought to create a concept that will not violate these laws. This is how digital cockfighting was created. Instead of the traditional blades used in cockfights, our chickens instead make use of gloves eliminating the cause of harmful injuries that can cause death. After their years of fighting and demonstrating their fighting abilities, we turn these chickens into brooders. This is the complete opposite of what happens to chickens who are in the traditional cockfighting system, where chickens die brutal deaths through their fights and are slaughtered if they do not meet the physical standards that the traditional cockfighting world is looking for.

Hand selected and trained game fowl.

Process of selecting and raising our gamefowl 1. We start by hand-selecting only the best and quality winning bloodlines. 2. We ensure that the infrastructure in our arena is developed to protect our gamefowl from all weather conditions and environmental challenges. 3. Our in-house veterinarians administer the latest FDA approved vitamins and feeds in our farm to meet the nutritional requirements of our gamefowl, protecting them from any bird diseases and viruses. Our process follows a strict feeding protocol with fixed measurements. 4. Our young birds go through an advanced feeding program. Providing them all the needed advance formulation and care management. We provide competent probiotics and vitamins for all our gamefowl. 5. We groom our birds by providing them regular bath programs using only the best technique. 6. Selected roosters will be placed in their corresponding flying pens so that they can be prepared for training and proper development fighting skills. 7. Our birds undergo a step-by-step cockfighting training program - such as placing them on a higher perch to strengthen their wings; training them in the running pen to strengthen their thighs and legs; and screening them in sparring sessions on top of the ring to turn them into gladiators. 8. The game-ready chickens undergo a stricter management protocol and feeding program that are monitored regularly by higher management in preparation for their arena presence. 9. We strictly monitor their performance and stamina after every fight in case certain food or supplement formulation is needed for every gamefowl. 10. The gamefowl takes a 4-7 day break after every fight where they are brought to another facility in order to be monitored before being brought back to fight once again. 11. All our fighters are classified by characteristics and performance records. Every fight our handlers monitor the performance of the roosters assigned to them making sure each gamefowl reaches the peak and best of their fighting skills. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
