What I wonder is if the temperament of the roos from hatcheries differ from those that I am familiar with. Hatcheries sell Old English Game chicks as do my local Rural King and Tractor Supply. I have saw a few hens purchased from there and while the hens have the same fiery temperament of Momma, they are noticeably smaller then she is. I hate my area though. You hear game, and well, it means mostly one thing. Last spring/summer a cock fighting ring was busted up and almost 100 roos were confiscated. Sadly all the boys were put down humanely. I never did hear if any received any jail time. They should have been locked up with the key thrown away.
