| Cuongga's Grey |
|
January 2006, year of the dog
In the United States, people call this color "blue" but in Viet Nam it is called "xám", meaning "grey". It is not a hennie because it has long, pointed saddle feathers. This cock has green legs togather with large eyes almost similar to frog eyes. Some would probably call it frog eyes. Readers may click here for a true frog eye of a different cock for comparison.
This photo was taken by Tu Xuong sometime in May/June of 2005 when the cock was approximately 1 year and 7 months old. It is now about 2 years, 2 months old.
This cock was purchased in Phan Thiet (South Central Viet Nam) by Cuongga for $33 dollars when it was approximatley 10 months old (July/August 2004). Two of the brothers to this cock was sold at $150 dollars each. The price was considered high at the time as factory workers in province where Cuongga live only make about $70 dollars a month.
Foreigners can still purchase decent ga noi at affordable price in Viet Nam but the average price is on the rise. The average prices may vary widely depending on regions and sources. One private source told me that the prices of top quality ga noi in Viet Nam right now differ greatly from last year. Good battle cocks today can cost from $300 dollars and up. Multiple winners are in the thousand dollars ranges. Cockers from neighboring countries used to be able to come to Viet Nam to buy top ga noi at low price but that is changing because they will have to beat out the local cockers who are becoming more affluent or have financial supports oversea.
The photos below were taken when the cock was approximately 1 year, 3 months old:
Đây là gà của Cường mua ở Phan Thiết. Nó có chân xanh nhưng mắt thì chưa được "ếch" cho lắm.
Hình do cụ Tú Xương chụp đựơc thành viên cho trên 200 điểm, đủ để lên trang bìa.
Theo như lời kể của anh Tuấn, một người bạn thân của Hòa thì giá những con gà dữ ở Việt Nam bây giờ rất cao. Gà dữ mua để đá có giá từ $300 đô la trở lên. Điều này có lẽ cũng không mấy gì ngạc nhiên vì tình hình kinh tế ở miền Nam, nhất là Sài Gòn thì khoảng cách giữa người ngèo và giàu có rất chênh lệch. Sài Gòn có lắm đại gia giàu có không ngại bỏ ra tiền mặt cả trăm ngàn đô la mua xe hơi thì giá một con gà vài ngàn quả không thấm vào đâu.

Important Notice
All material relating to ga noi on this website is applicable to ga noi only. It may or may not hold true for other type of fowl.
Scale reading is the study of the legs of gà nòi as recorded in Kê Kinh.
The word "nòi" means bloodline so their bloodline must be fully known.
The examination of fowl include: Head, body, tail, and legs. Scale reading is only part of the art and therefore must be examined in consideration of other factors. This include the conditioning of the cocks, their diet, age...etc. It is unwise to rely on special scale to pit cock in bad condition expecting to win. A rule of thumb is: Given everything being equal, a cock with special scale indicate special talent. |
