Yeah, I probably don't know what I'm talking about since I spent about 4 years breeding them in just about every configuration imaginable. I've kept as many as 250 of them at a time, in a variety of pens. I have witnessed just about every behavioral pattern and tendency that they are capable of. The fact is that overall they are basically useless little birds that are probably the worst of all domestic gamefowl when it comes to human interaction. There are always a couple of exceptions here and there, but the fact is that they despise humans, and do best as monogamous pairs to circumvent aggression among themselves when kept in groups. Other than being pretty to look at, their only "value" to the keepers is the sale of hatching eggs to unsuspecting buyers who believe that they are different than they really are. As soon as someone mentions their extremely flighty behavior, or aggressive tendencies, it's not unusual for an egg seller to defend them, and perform damage control.
Exaggeration? Hmm...........maybe just a tad. Accuracy?...............pretty much.

I think that's a bit of an exaggeration. I rarely have any fighting with my birds and when I did have them in groups I never lost any.
