takjng the bird to the vet isn't a bad thing i suppose if you can't handle it yourself. The point was that everyone knew it was a gamecock. You learned that they aren't trained to fight. It's what they do. In your original post imo should have read my gamecock got into it with some younger stags/roosters. The only point I was making was the fact that you knew from the get go it was a gamecock. i guess now you realize you didn't rescue that bird from anything. Have a good day.Bruce was rescued from a gamecock breeder who got busted for fighting roosters. Bruce himself hadn't ever been fought, he was too young. My husband is familiar with how these birds are, I am not. I did not realize how soon they would go after each other. My younger chickens/roosters are just now 9 months old. We first separated the younger chickens from the older because the younger ones were eating the eggs, then we stopped letting them share yards because the older hens started to be mean to the younger, but when there were out roaming free they just went their own ways. My husband said he should have told me that they were too old to go out together anymore when I told him about the flooding, but didn't think about it at the time. Bruce was already dubbed when we got him, my husband knows how to make a tie cord(which anyone can learn from YouTube, but he was familiar with it because of his upbringing), and why would my taking him to the vet be bad??? We loved that bird and I was trying to save him, my husband, myself, and my children are heartbroken because he was a really friendly rooster who followed my husband and children around like a puppy.
