The roosters

The two varieties in which the roosters of Leon can be classified are Indio and Pardo. The Indios roosters are physically smaller than the pardos ones, but these last ones are more aggressive. Both races usually do not surpass the 2.5 kg of weight. The life expectancy it is not more than 10 years; although as of the fifth year the roosters begin to lose quality and stop being profitable.

In one first and very simple explanation we can say that the pen of the Indios is of plain color, and the pen of the pardos is speckled. The range of colors of the Indios roosters goes from the white to the black, happening through different grays; and reddish the more or less yellowish ones. As far as the pardos roosters, the different classes we classified them by the bottom color, and mainly by the size and forms of the "speck", well-known like penca. Another own word of this world is obra, being understood by so the clean and usable size of a pen.

Next all the varieties of roosters in photographies of mallets of kidney part are shown.
Variety of Rooster

Anyway of these wonderful pens, also from the rooster the pens of hanging part in the same varieties are obtained that in the kidney part one.



And to top it all, also the pens take advantage of the neck of the rooster to mount dry flies. These "minipens" are available in three different sizes.
