    The present study was conducted in the Pillaro canton across 16 breeding farms with 125 birds, where the objective was to characterize the phenotypic and behavioral traits of the Creole fighting cock in Pillaro canton, Tungurahua province, to contribute to the conservation and sustainable management of this species and to preserve its role in local cultural traditions. This region is recognized for breeding Creole fighting cocks and is characterized by a temperate climate and considerable altitude, factors that may have influenced the morphological characteristics of the species. For data collection, detailed measurements were taken of different body parts of the cocks, including the length of the tarsus and neck. Additionally, variants of plumage coloration and types of crests, as well as beak and leg color, were documented for each specimen, categorizing these characteristics according to their frequency and distribution within the studied population. The observed morphological variations were meticulously described, highlighting both the most common and less frequent characteristics. The collected data were organized into tables and charts to clearly and concisely illustrate the distribution of each attribute. The data analysis was based on simple descriptive techniques such as frequencies, percentages, and averages, effectively summarizing the morphological information obtained. The results were presented through visual formats such as graphs and tables, facilitating their interpretation and understanding, and contributing to a better appreciation of the morphological diversity present in the Creole fighting cocks of Pillaro canton. This study provided a detailed view of the morphological characteristics of fighting cocks in this specific region, offering valuable information for future breeding and conservation programs, as well as for better understanding how environmental factors may influence the phenotypic variability of the species.
