Just had six old english game bantams hatch today, four of them are bluish in color all over, the other two have a little gold on their heads, does that mean the two with color on their head are roosters and the others hens?

Actually, dogs usually kill for their pack to eat, if their pack is human, that is their job to get the food (atleast in their eyes). Cats (domestic) are a different story, they are known for killing things just for the fun of it. Great story by the way, sounds like you have some great dogs. I...
