Yeah, I agree with your suspicions. I know a lot of people that don't have other chickens but offer to buy live chickens (broilers) I'm raising so they can BBQ, so while I'd probably say the average person wanting just "live chickens" and not specifically cocks is likely wanting supper, but anyone specifically requesting cocks is more than likely wanting it for cock fighting. I'm no expert on criminal lawy or anything but if it were me I'd probably just let it end there since no crime was committed (he didn't say he wanted it for cock fighting and you didn't see any evidence), and especially because you already gave him your address. As much as I love birds I'd have to weigh the cost-benefit of reporting it to law enforcement and ask yourself if it's worth doing it over a chicken. You could report it to the ASPCA and let them decide what to do since I'm sure they have experience with this kinda stuff and would know the best way to proceed that takes your safety into account. If you didn't already give him your address I wouldn't think twice to call the police or sheriff.Haha pretty sure it wasn't for dinner. I looked his number up using Facebook and he doesn't look like someone wanting to buy my young, skinny rooster for dinner. His pictures definitely looked like he was in a gang. It seemed very clear he wanted it for other purposes. When I told him I already sold it he sent me an emoji flipping me off. Very classy...
