Rural Gardening: Chicks through the mail - very upsetting, 1 by CajuninKy

Most of them like to be handled. Even the roos. But if they are truly game, the roos will fight other roos like crazy. They have to be kept apart. It is also true that you can't train them to fight and you can't make them fight. They either have game or they don't. All roos will fight but the difference in the game cocks is that they don't quit. They are not looking to establish dominence and then live in peace in the pecking order. They nearly always fight to the death. Game hens can be vicious too. Asil cocks have to beat the hen in order to breed. And Asil hens will gang up on the young stags and kill them. They are some hard core gals. I saw some pretty game cocks at the market today. Most of them were Hatch.

Here is a pic of the Hatch roo I have borrowed. I couldn't replace my MacCrea Roundhead roo so this is the next best thing.
