From the Editor's desk

A note, found loose in the binding.

To the patient reader who has wandered this far —

The gamecock is a difficult bird. He is beautiful and he is brutal; he is the emblem of three continents and the shame of a dozen legislatures; he is venerated in some yards and hidden in others. The Codex tries to hold all of that at once, and probably doesn't.

This site is small on purpose. There is no comment section, no share button that demands your attention, no algorithmic recapture. There is just a folio of breeds, a chronicle of dates, a shelf of plates, and a long quiet essay about courage. If you have read this far, you are the kind of reader this Codex was written for.

The Konami code, of course, is a small prank — an old coder's joke, embedded in a 19th-century codex. We hope you smiled.

The Gamecock Codex, in the year of our Lord MMXXVI
