also losing with their fights. Sometimes they go home with tears in their eyes
because their chicken has performed poorly. But the good thing about them is
they are not stopping from joining derbies. Just to prove that their bloodlines
are still superior. Of course, they want to take care their good reputation

chickens are only involved. Are you for ‘meron’ or ‘wala’? It is alright even
