March 13-07 Dear Bolay, travel by plane and fight i 2 days. your subjecting your birds in too much stress also what part of Bicol region are you comming from humidity and moisture can affect the performance of your birds. Our birds we ship them the Copper State before it was close down 7 to 10 days.Also bring your own water and feeds cause fighting cocks are very sensitive to change. Good luck.Bien31

Since it is considered a long haul, bringing them 2 days before the fight will give them ample time to adjust & recover.

Tips on traveling them by plane:

• It is more comfortable to travel in an early morning flight like 4-5am rather than 10am since it would be hot by noon.

• Put a lot of fresh banana leaves inside the box.

• Be sure to travel them empty because digestion is hampered whenever they are in transit.

• It is a must to bring in your own water & feed.
  

• To ensure that they will be placed in a well-ventilated area inside the cargo section of the plane, it is advantageous to check- in together with your chickens as the last passenger because of the airline procedure wherein 'the last passenger gets his luggage first'.
